Well, here we are.  After 2 very busy weeks preparing for moving back to Australia the day has come.  The packers have been and gone.  We have moved out of our house and into hotel rooms.  Today is the day.  In less than 24 hours we will be stepping on a plane for the first leg of our trip home.  We have much to be joyous about.  We will be spending time with my husband's family on the way.  Then when we arrive in Australia we will be spending time with our new grandbabies and our other daughters.  It is also a day that has some grief and sadness attached.  We will be saying see you later to people that have become good friends and whom we may not necessarily see again. 

Despite the negative feelings that arose from time to time in the settling in process I have become accustomed to being here in Canada and more than a little sad at saying goodbye to this country.  We spent a lovely weekend last weekend being up close and personal with the Rockies.  Here the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.  A real testimony of God's handiwork.  We spotted bighorn sheep, elk and even a grizzly bear - though not all in one space - feeding by the sides of the road on the Icefields Parkway. 

I'm thinking it might be a little while until I am on here again......so in the meantime, see you later.
