I was particularly glad to see "home" after my time in Normanton. I took the rest of the week off, after returning to Cairns.

She was born and raised in Mackay, north Queensland. I'm not exactly sure what she's doing now but I think she helps in junior training camps etc., visits and works with a lot with young Aboriginal children in the outback to inspire them. She probably is on the talk circuit, too...though I'm not to certain about that as she is a shy person. I know she spent a fair bit of time overseas immediately after her retirement.<BR/><BR/>Hey Shelly..good to see you...yep...I think the diary will open the floodgates for your little girl. Soon she'll be the best at journal writing...just you wait and see! :) I'm glas you think it's a good idea. Thanks for your comment.<BR/><BR/>I had a very relaxed Sunday, too Merle. Did very little other than read and annoy the cats! ;)<BR/><BR/>G'Day, Big Dave...no, there was no Creme de Grand Marnier. There wouldn't have been any call for it.
