It's fun being a girl

Rachel did a great job applying false fingernails last time she was here.

I had a lovely long chat with her yesterday. She has gone on a camp with a group from school to Philip Island where they are camping in tents for two nights and in a bunk house for three nights. The weather is still warm in Melbourne so she will have a great time. She is such a gorgeous girl......her teachers gave her raves this term.

Stu has recovered from his bike accident and is back at work altho he does a lot of it from home which makes it great for their family. Pam will be working four days a week from the beginning of next term and with James being 14 years old now, he can come home from school and do his own thing without too many hassles....Rach will probably still need supervision the odd times that Pam or Stu can't be home at the time she gets home. Time is marching on tho. You blink and five years have gone.

I am on the count down to visiting with Glen, Christopher and Catherine. Less than ten weeks to go. I am so excited even tho the long plane trip means I will be jet lagged....who cares.....I will cope with it.

Perry is doing well enough with his left knee. The RLS is a bother. He takes Requip or Repreve as it is known some places doesn't seem to be as wonderful as it was when he first started taking it. Next month he sees the orthopaedic doctor...it will be interesting to hear what he has to say as he will have a report on a C.T. scan of Perry's back which was taken about six weeks ago. So many problems can be related to ones back.....
