hello from Esther
Hey Chloe. Nice to hear you getting in control of a whipper snipper. i love mowing our lawns but must confess the whippper snipper intimidates me somewhat. Great to hear you are so busy and and getting all your programming done so soon. Awesome. Please say hi to MJ. Hope she has settled as well as you. Tell her we miss her as we miss you also. We were presented to the Parish this morning at Mass. We now have 43 on staff!! Can you belive it. My how we have grown. Bev Okane had a baby boy a week ago DAmon Patrick. Beautiful little boy with lots of dark hair. Lucky baby to be born into such a beautiful family. Look forward to hearing about your adventures. We got your postcard and we read it out. Thanks for thinking of us. Love and hugs Esther

i have a turtle
Hi Chloe, great to read your going on's. I like the top ten entries, keep this section up. Vegemite had a sleep over at Brenda's last night cause Dad and Trailer came home and Dad just couldn't resist. It's ok with me just this once cause I was working a back to back so I wouldn't have seen him the whole time anyway. The trick is getting Dad to give him back...at least in the mean time he is having fun frolicking at the beach with Trailer (can you imagine Trailer frolicking..!!). Love you lots, Mia xxx

Hi Chloe
Hi Chloe, Great to hear things are going well. Sounds like you have slipped into a nice circle of friends and are taking full advantage of the relaxed lifestyle. Jetty fishing sounds like a great way to watch the sun set. Keep the blogs coming - even if we don't always post a reply, it is nice to know you are safe and well. Sarah has booked her flight to London for 10 April and is looking forward to gaining some life experience living and working there. Adam is waiting for his new Aust passport so he can apply for a Canadian work visa. Seems like all the kids (and Brenda) have exotic places to go to. Oh well - maybe if I win this Saturday's $20 million lotto I can join all the jet setters. Take care, love, Pat.

Good to hear from you.
Hello Chloe. I so enjoyed reading your blog and I'm so happy that you have set up home so well. It looks lovely and I especially love the mango tree. We purchased a big box of broome mangoes after Xmas for 50 bucks. They were delicious and kept well in the fridge. So you are a lucky girl to have a whole tree. Looking forward to hearing about your class. How many kiddies and what age? Chloe you are so brave and I wish you lots of luck. Keep in touch. Much love Carol. Ps pleased you survived the cyclone. We were in Mandurah this weekend during the cyclone and the weather was fantastic. The water was like glass I just love it down there. Sorry we missed you this Xmas holiday.

wishing you well
Hey Chloe, Great to see you made it safely to your new abode. I will still enjoy your blogs and try my best to keep in touch. You are going to have an absolutely amazing experience there, I just know it! Enjoy absolutely every high and low it has to offer. Can't wait to hear about your teaching. Kylee and I are a team this year and I am very very excited. I think she is a brilliant teacher and I know the two of us will feed off each other's strengths. She and Joe came for tea last week and stayed till one in the morning. I have the feeling that we are going to enjoy some good times as a team together. It's been a wonderful and adventurous summer- heaps of crabbing, crayfishing, waterskiing (both RAH and Lainee can ski now), tubing, boogie boarding, fishing and kayaking. I should really be much thinner with all this activity, although the butter, bread and margaritas have probably not helped the matter. My time with my sister was truly cherished and the goodbye was even worse this year. I know you hold family and friends dear to you and understand what I'm talking about. Sorry I missed you, although I know your time on the farm would have been precious. Keep in tough my friend and stay beautiful! Love Kathie

Vege says hello
Hi Chloe. Mia and I have just returned from a sojurn to Voyage. Vege joined us. Almost as exciting as what you are doing. NOt!!!! He must know we are writing to you - Mia is sitting beside me in the study - as he is barking. Probably saying hello to you and asking if you remember him. His renewal for registration came today. It is due on Oct 31. Shall I renew it, or see if it can be transferred to Derby Shire? Also, your HBF is due on Nov 17. Do you want me to pay that? How boring, to be thinking of these things when you are enjoying all that Africa has to offer! All my love, Mum. Mia sends you her love too.

postcards
Hi sister don't they sell postcards in africa??? My fridge is feeling outdated with Asia still crowding its face. Only joking, i love you and am happy to read the small amount of info you have time to dish out. Missed you last night when i had a bitch about work and i had to tell jarrad "now can you just agree with me and say you're right darling so i feel better?" boys just don't cut the mustard sometimes. 1 more week till holidays!!!! so ready for them and when i get back it won't be long till you are home to play with me and Vegemite again. He is still having itchy spots and i think we need to investigate the cause further. Ok bye for now, love you muchly xxx take care ok xxx

Wow!
Hey Fisho Africa looks as stunning as I imagined it would, I'm so jealous but now even more determined to get there soon! Keep lovin life, I know what you mean about life at its best - not sure I can go back to reality :( Can't wait to swap stories over fondue! loontown xx

Coincidences again!
Hi Chloe, I am amazed at the coincidences you have on your trips. It really is a small world!! I am so happy that you are enjoying being back on the road again. I was thinking it is a lucky thing that you have an adventure awaiting you in Derby next year, as I think you would have found it very difficult to settle back into an 'ordinary' routine in Falcon or Perth. It was weird for me coming home to your absence though. I miss your company! I met Mia at work today and we had lunch at Voyage. Lovely. The ocean was so blue and shimmering. I love you my darling. Be safe. Mum

lollie jar is empty : (
Yay Sisi! Glad to hear your smile through your words. So glad everything is going well and you are enjoying your trip. It may be that Africa is easier than China....?! I miss having you around at home but Jarrad has been working alot so i have had some peace!!! I forgot to ask you about the fish oil tablets you give Veg...where are they and how do you give them to him? He is doing fine and being a very good boy. Love you, hope to speak soon. Big kisses, Mia xxx

What a story
Chloe I just read your last blog and I am amazed at your strength of character. To turn even the most terrible situation into a positive... I take my hat off to uou. God was surely looking after you and it restores ones faith in humanity to read how strangers helped you. To end let me say how pleased I sm that you are home and I'm sure your family will treasure your company till you leave us on your next adventure. Much love Carolxxx

Character building.
And you wonder why I don't want to travel O.S. anymore? I remember in Russia, back in '75, the van broken down, couldn't get parts into the country, couldn't get food, - but that was another time, another place. Love Dad.
