Then pull out the bungs or just let nature follow its course and begin to sink your boat and radio for help to Australia and we'll send the navy to rescue you, even though you are closer to other countries who don't care.<br />Welcome to those who are bonafide, ridgey didge immigrants - we are happy to share our lovely country with you.

Another daughter performed gymnastics at the World's Fair there when she was13 years old and will always have those wonderful memories of that great land. I wish I had a generous mother like me when I was growing up. I only got across the border of New York to New Jersey.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-51361100713091252672012-08-29T12:22:13.713+01:002012-08-29T12:22:13.713+01:00Picture says it all Cro.

So hard when your family is on the other side of the world but we are compensated by the knowledge that she is enjoying a wonderful lifestyle and has some great opportunities ahead of her.
