Happy Easter to all.
Today was another beautiful day. The day started off with a phone call from Pam. She stayed home today while the other members of her family went ahead to a camp with her church group. Pam wanted to have quiet time for a day. Calling us was first on her list and it was lovely hearing from her. I called Phil yesterday and discovered that he and Sherrene seem to be more or less back in their old rut....I do wish he would seek counselling.
Glen is quite busy with both his businesses....one of which is at http://www.dragonfireracing.com/ he is the San Diego store. He also has an X Ray service and repair business that has been going quite well for the past 16 or seventeen years...however with a lot of X Ray going digital he needed to get something else going and as his hobbies of motor cycle riding and racing....having fun at the desert driving different kinds of all terrain vehicles... made it was relatively easy for him to get into selling, repairing, trading etc. This newest venture has been going very well for almost two years. He is a single dad and juggles his time very well. Christopher will be eleven years old July 4 and it will be lovely to spend time with both my boys during July...all going well. Airfares are really high now that the price has skyrocketed. If possible I hope to fly Qantas from Brisbane direct to L.A. then a short flight to San Diego. Brisbane to L.A. is a direct flight and of 12 hours duration, whereas most other carriers go via New Zealand and Sydney or Melbourne. Up to 4 hours longer flying time plus time spent taking on other passengers etc. Fares are as high as $3,500. Last time we flew to the U.S. the fare was only $1800 each....quite a difference.
Guess what we did today......yes went Lawn Bowling !!!!! Played with some dynamite players. Loved it....I'm hooked.
Tomorrow we are going to Val and Reg's for a BBQ . It will be chaotic around this area tomorrow....we live next to a small marina and there will be all kinds of entertainment there including a Reggae band playing for several hours. If we weren't going out I would love to go listen to the music....if nothing else!
