What a wonderful couple they are, to open up their home to us and help us will just about every need we had. There is absolutely no possible way that we can ever thank them enough for all that they have done for us. We are very lucky people indeed! :-)<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-31696359530618612082019-06-01T04:04:55.275-04:002019-06-01T04:04:55.275-04:00It sure has been, what a great welcome to Australi...It sure has been, what a great welcome to Australia! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44440578922260553492019-06-01T04:03:43.405-04:002019-06-01T04:03:43.405-04:00So far that is all that we have really needed but ...So far that is all that we have really needed but we will see how things go as we head down the road.
