Hi all...here I am in North Haven, the home of Frankie's sister June.   We went for a walk down to the beach, which was only about 5 minutes away..   The ocean was very stormy and waves were coming in pretty strong!  How very beautiful it was there!!  We sat on the beach for awhile,  and just enjoyed the time we spent there by the beautiful ocean.

We had a lovely visit with June and Warren, they have a lovely home and a cute little dog named Toby.  I fixed Mexican food for them one night, and they enjoyed it alot.

It's my turn now. I have never seen someone with so much enthusiasm about the ocean. My Jan was like a kid and I had to use all my power to get her to come home, I,m enjoying showing her my country, but I have to say she thinks kangaroos must be extinct because on this trip we covered about 650 miles and didn't see one. I can't believe that I might have to take her to the zoo to see something regarded as a pest. Thats it for this one. Love to all from the Utah yank in Oz and her hubby.

Here is my sweet lady at redcliffe shortly after coming to Oz. It wasn't as cold as she looks, but she added to the beauty of the spot. Now I will let my love tell you her thoughts.
You can see how wonderful my Frankie is!   I love it here in this beautiful country.  It is so different from home; both countries are amazing, but this is a new experience to me, and each day is full of wonder and beauty.  First of all, I love to be near the ocean, and experience all the colors and vibrancy of the Great Pacific ...with the waves crashing in and hearing the seagulls, walking on the soft wet sand, and the ocean breeze caressing you ...and as the sun sets in the west, the colors are dramatic and amazing.

 ...we went to the ocean on the day of this picture and walked out on the pier....there was a huge yacht moored, that they use for " whale watching "...and several other boats docked nearby.  I was overcome with feelings of appreciation for the beauty all around me, in my wonderful..... Australia.

This picture doesn't do justice to the beauty of the color of the ocean, and feeling the soft breeze as you stroll along the beautiful pathway in this tropical paradise.  Such beauty!  The colors were astounding!  It was a beautiful day, and I felt lucky to be here with my precious Frankie.
