Hello to you all from your Aussie Mum and Dad and families. We are all well and keeping busy here in sunny autumn Adelaide. We are having some beautiful late summer weather although we need some rain as the reservoirs are getting low. Tich has taken a few days holidays this week to work on the house. It is coming along slowly and starting to look very nice inside. The kitchen is nearly finished. We will get cupboards doors on soon. The bedrooms are just about finished so we have room for overseas visitors to come for a visit. Especially Japanese overseas visitors!!!!
Reiko, thank you and your father for the links to his business Web site. I went for a visit and found it very interesting and easy to follow. He looks like a very important business man sitting at his desk. I know he can be a very funny business man (like standing on the balcony waving his umbrella at us. I will not tell anyone in his office that story). Have you got a new job yet? Are you still looking?Have you seen Yoko in Tokyo yet? You may have seen her in the street. She has black hair!!!
Yoko, how are you going? I know you are busy in your married life. (Are you busy trying to make babies, that is the important thing). Tich and I think of you all the time and can not wait to meed your husband and see you again.
Lisa, I hope you are well and studying hard for you university. Are you finished yet? It must be nearly time your summer holidays. are you going away?
Tonight we are going to Ted and Jo's for tea to celebrate Nana and Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary. They are both very well and happy. We are having a meal with my 6 brothers and sisters and partners, so I will be going to help Jo get the food ready this afternoon.
Kymberly and the children are all well and happy. I see them about once a week and spend time with them. Sometimes the children sleep over my house. I always like that, although I think I am getting old because I get very tired after their visit and need a rest!!
I have also been doing some volunteer work with A.F.S. I have been meeting some students at the airport (our very new and modern airport) and helping them to get on their next plane to their new host town in country S.A. Only one girl wanted to go back home after 1 week so her parents arranged it and 2 weeks later I met her again at the airport and put her on a plane to go back to Brazil. It was sad for her to miss out on her year in Australia. We all know she would have got over her homesick, but her parents wanted her back. She also said it was boring with nothing to do as she was on a farm in a small town near Port Lincoln. We also know that once she settled in and made friends she would have found lots to do. It is sad that she did not stay long enough to realise that.
Well I guess I had better go and get ready for our big dinner tonight.
Please say Hello to all of your families from me especially your parents (and Grandmother Reiko) and your husband (Yoko) and you boyfriend (Reiko). Have you got a boyfriend Lisa? or husband!!!!!
Love from Lel
