Our last day in Melbourne has arrived and as you can see, we're doing test runs of our flight to Brisbane (notice who is in charge here- ha ha!). Mark is having his final day at the office. We're ready for a sunny vacation in Queensland! Yep, we're leaving- on a jet plane- don't know when we'll be back again....actually, we'll be back through here on Sept. 23-24 for a couple days before flying home to Portland. But we'll be in a hotel, living out of our suitcases. Yesterday morning I did instant messenging with friend Mary who lives in Garnett, KS. It's just amazing to me how she can be there in Kansas, and I in Aussie land, and we have instant communication! (A few weeks ago, I got to see her and the family via webcam, which was really a treat). Yesterday afternoon I went to the Booktalk Cafe in Richmond and traded in some books. Today I'll go to the city library one last time, and stop by a cafe for some flat white. I'll probably walk around the Botanic Gardens one last time- it has been one of my favorite places here in Melbourne. So, my friends, it's time to stop blogging for now (we won't have laptops with us on vacation although I'm sure when we get home I'll be posting vacation photos). What an amazing experience it's been! Thanks to you all for continuing to read my reflections on life in Oz.

By the time you get this, you will probably be back in Portland, so: welcome home!
Also, I will email you, because I am making something for you (or will be, once I get the right kind of wire) and hope to present it over the traditional delicious goodness of coffee or coffee-related beverages. Mmm.
