In Australia

Hello everyone - sorry that I have no pictures to add, but hopefully, I'll be able to add some soon. We arrived in Perth Australia after a long, long trip from Edmonton-Vancouver-HongKong-Perth on Friday, December 10th and were very very warmly greeted by our daughters Mary and Henrietta and two grandsons, Vince and Niklaas. We were very thankful to our Heavenly Father for granting us travelling mercies! And it was very very exciting to see the children and grandchildren again.
We have now settled in quite nicely - and today moved to James and Leanne's place, as we had been staying at Mary and Erics till now. This morning Henrietta and her two girlies and Betty and Dawna left for Albany for a week so we moved into Moeskers' place to take care of the animals and whatever else there is to take care of here. We could also use their car, and we are also thankful for that! Next week Monday, Betty and Dawna will return here to Perth and Pap and I will head down to Albany for a few days, to return before Christmas - when we will all be together for the holidays. Pap hopes to take his motorbike back then, so we can bomb around on it as well (a little cheaper on fuel).
Eric and Mary are still in the midst of renovations (or addition) - the end is in sight. Very exciting for them. Tile is in, painting is near completion and carpet is going in tomorrow. They are adding a master bedroom with ensuite and closets and an office with desk and large closet. So there will be much to reorganize and redecorate. Right up my ally too - although I have to remember that it is not my place.
Anyway - just wanted to keep you all up to date and to let you know that we are having a wonderful time here and enjoying every minute.
So till next time!
