Well I just returned from a 6 week trip of my own, so no traveling for me for a while. It is always difficult being apart from them. We may end up near you next year though. We are shooting for Melbourne or Canbarra for our next posting. We should know something soon. Five of our our kids are already grown and out of the house. We still have three more to shape and mold before we are alone again. The youngest one is nearly 12, so we have about 6 years to go before we have the house to ourselves. Then all we can hope for is the occasional visits with the grandkids. Our five older kids are strewned all over the globe doing their own thing now. It is nice to see them successful, but we do miss them. Life is tough, but life is good.
