Thank you all so much for your prayers...they mean more than I can say.
It was a long long trip back home, through many sugar cane plantations and past road repairs.
The worst thing was the burn-off's ... This is when the cane is burnt and thick smoke stifles your breath and clouds your view.
It took a day and a half to get home. Then after a good rest, some house cleaning and washing I was off again to meet with old friends.
The three of them flew up from Sydney to meet me at Mooloolaba (mid Sunshine Coast).
I have know them from forty four to almost fifty years. A long time, yet this is the first time in many years, we have come together.
What a joy! Only for three nights but every minute was a thrill.
An Aerial View....of where we stayed.
I have draw around the complex and put an X on our suite.
My friends live in New South Wales, where I came from originally.....they all called this paradise.
(I believe Heaven will be a thousand times nicer.)
The waters of the Pacific ocean are a clear Blue/Green and absolutely brilliant.
Below left: Me, Angelina (my Godmother) and Janette (my Cousin). Kathleen took the photo.
We are here waiting on a bus to take us to the next town. In younger years we would have walked, it was only about two miles.
I was contemplating dying my hair back to the original blond, we are vain creatures aren't we.
But Ray likes it natural, so here I am.
This is Kathleen... her sister was my sister-in-law, and both were as my own sisters. Our children all grew up very closely together. My children call her Zia Kathy... (Italian for Auntie).
I loved our time together..
How sweet is friendship!
The best part of all is, they are my sisters-in-Christ.
May the Lord richly Bless them and their families always.
Romans 12:10
"Love one another with sisterly/brotherly affection.
Out do one another in showing honor."
