This was a big day for us. We had to be out the door by 5:30am to get picked up by a 4×4 vehicle to take us to K-gari (formerly called Fraser Island). This is a sand bar island off the east coast of Australia. It is the largest sand bar island in the world…

Influential People In My Life – Part 2
Here is another writing about some people in my life that made major impacts on me. This one is going to hit a larger section of time. What they all have in common is God. All of these men were people that made Godly impacts on me at different times in my life when I…
A Treehouse, A Waterfall, Shells on a Beach, and Driving.
So, yesterday was fun and all. Since we weren’t able to extend our stay at the Treehouse Airbnb we had to get everything loaded up into the car before we headed out. All good. Here is a picture of the place we were staying at – it was very pretty. The shower and hot water…
The Dryer Repair
So, the other day I talked about things needing to be fixed around the house once we got back from our trip. Well time to add one more to the list – the dryer. I went to get laundry out of the dryer the other day and half of it was still quite wet. So,…
The Great Barrier Reef
We woke up the next day and had breakfast and had to get down to the pier to head out to the Great Barrier Reef. This was one of the BIG things we had planned during the trip and we were blessed that we didn’t miss it after all the issues with getting to Australia….

Am I an Introvert or Am I Just Getting Old
As we age, we change. I think we can all agree on this. Our bodies change, our friends change, our understanding of things change, our hopes change, our needs change, our outlooks change, our beliefs change, and so much more. When I was younger, I was someone that liked hanging out with others. I liked…
An Island (not the main island) and Gardens by the Bay. Oh, and yes still Humid.
The next day we went to an island called Palau Ubin. This required a subway and then a bus and then a boat to the island. Once there we rented bicycles to get around on. These bikes we worn and uncomfortable. I know I am a bit of a bike snob, but these were bad….
More Outdoor Fun – Did I Mention it’s Humid
The next day we were off to the Botanic Gardens. “B” really wanted to spend time at their orchid area, and it didn’t let us down. It did cost extra to get into that area, but the rest of the garden was free so no worries there. The orchids were lovely. It rained on and…
