Saunders Beach
Snake on the beach yet to be identified !
A blob of jellyfish???
it has been a couple of days since I blogged so thought I would take a quick break from watching Austar (I know, I know--lame lame lame life!) and write a few lines. Life at the beach continues and we are down to 5 days till USA. The boys are trying to get their acts together and start the packing process and I am trying to make sure laundry is done up and that they are ready to go on Friday. I think they will have a good time in Sydney for a couple of days and it will be fun for them to be there exploring. i think Chris and i may go to Sydney in January when i get back so the boys can scope it out for us.
I was thinking today when i read my sister's email how unstressed about Christmas I am this year and i guess it is because it really does not seem like Christmas here. Sure there are decorations up and carols being played everywhere you go but it is kind of like when we lived in Florida-----not really in the mood when it is in the 80's and 90's outside! And let's face it----I am not doing the usual Christmas preparation here at all. No tree, no cookie baking, not much gift buying going on but you know--that is all fine!!! I do want to do some baking when we get to Ohio at Dad's so hopefully I will get my fill of it then. I think the rest of my family must be taking my share of the Christmas stress---especially my sister who is going to have the whole gang there on Christmas Eve when she has 2 church services to prepare for and lead!!!
One of my friends commented to me that she would make me a box of things that I miss and you know---I really do miss some of that stuff but I have some things in Australia that I have found that I really like!

- Coral Trout--my new favorite fish
- Kleenex---they make them big and lovely here!
- Sweet Chili Sauce---very very yummy and when served with potato wedges it is delish!
- The sunshine 300 days of the year
- Living on the BEACH! Absolutely wonderful aside from the creepy crawlies!
- Birds --there are so many awesome kinds and their songs are unbelievable
- Outdoor markets where you can get the best fruit and veg
- Morning tea!
