I've said it before, but I'll say it again--Your grands are absolutely adorable! Bethany's cheesy smile made me chuckle. Debbie is a very busy mama...I am so impressed with all she does!

Debbie certainly has her hands full, but what a wonderful childhood those children are getting, with living in such magnifent surroundings and having home-schooling that far exceeds anything offered by the more formal route! You have a LOVELY family! <br /><br />The countryside looks so beautiful (as you say, so green and lush). I'm envious!! It's so hot and dry down our way.<br /><br />Washing ones car in a fast flowing river could only happen in Africa :) Just loved that picture!<br /><br />The sandstone cliff-face where you enjoy your halfway sandwich break is absolutely breathtaking. I also love that you pack a picnic to enjoy en route. My Mum ALWAYS did that when we were growing up and continues to maintain the tradition in Australia. Her emails are full of, "When Dad and I went to...as usual, we had our picnic basket..." and she often tells me what they'd had with them that particular day :)<br /><br />Visiting your blog today has been the equivalent of enjoying a mini-break. Just super!

I guess you're glad to get your rain despite floods here and there, so I'm reassured you're not experiencing what Queensland is having.<br />We're up to our eyeballs in snow. Dick and Lindy saw eleven deer on their walk today, so Lindy was in and out of the house until it got dark, hoping they'd show up in the back yard. Now she's asleep on her "window seat" and doesn't believe me when I tell her the deer will come here in the dark to eat our ornamental crabapples because they can't find grass.<br />-- K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.

I feel like I spent the "weekend" with you and your family with your wonderful pics and your great story telling.
