Back in Home #2

After two months back in the Good Ol' U.S. of A., I'm back in Australia. Most of you know all this already, but just in case, here's an update. I went back to Florida in July to try to bully my dad in to taking care of himself (and failed miserably) and to visit with my Mom and some friends. I had a brilliant little side trip to Boston to see my good friend Lil G and had a wonderful time. I also took mini-trips to South Florida and Orlando to visit with other friends. But the most of my visit was just spent with family, acting silly with my Mom and just hanging out. Windsor came for a visit as well, which was good fun. It was his first time to "meet the parents" but it ended up being not-so-stressful, or at least I think so.

After a brief visit with Windsor to see some friends and family and a festival in California, we headed back to Melbourne just over a week ago. We had to fly through a massive dust storm in Sydney - which was a bit like flying through orange-colored milk. It was crazy! And a bit scary. Everyone applauded when we finally landed - thank goodness we had an experienced pilot.

So now we are back in Melbourne. Windsor is already back at work. And I am doing some editing and Martha Stewart-ing. I'd forgotten how FREEZING this house is. I think it was built in the 1920s or so, and has no insulation. So I am just (not-so-patiently) waiting for Spring to appear. The plan is to do a TEFL course and apply for English teaching jobs in South Korea. I'll keep you posted. If anyone's ever done that, I'd love some feedback.
