Thank you kindly, Catherine. No, we are in Noosa. 10/2/2014 01:34:29 am
Wishing I was there too! More snow on its way here in Colorado, which I don't mind until I see warm sandy beeches and beautiful prose. May your break bring refreshing to you, body and soul. :)

Dear Judy, may the snow melt soon into a warm springtime for you. For the moment, we are luxuriating in the cool, clear seas with fish swimming at our toes! : )
