My Ramblings

This just in – hope you are ready for a spectacular event this Tuesday! A lunar eclipse will be taking place and will be best viewable in the Northern Hemisphere – sadly Africa will miss this one. Apparently the best views will be down under in Aussie…so hope you folks have your cameras ready. For…

What a week! Here is an adventure packed story if there ever was one. Started of course with great sadness in hearing that Dad had passed away and gone home to be with the Lord. Then the next objective was to get to Holland in time for the funeral and to be with Billy &…

One of the nicest gifts of Christmas that I have received is this post of pictures from the Tolmay family in Adelaide. They say pictures say a thousand words. I didn’t need a write up when these photos arrived – just seeing the food, the people, the tree and the gifts tells me that Christmas…
