Keith from CA

Hi Keith. Hope you had a great time at your last Sudoku meet up. It was wonderful how so many of our Aussie Sudoku gang turned out all over the country to meet & greet you. But I'm sure at this point you are getting tired of living out of a suitcase & are anxious to get back to "Home Sweet Home" again. We always find that one of the nicest things about traveling is how it makes us appreciate home (& our own bed!!) more. Hope you & Lynne have a safe trip home & return to find your bathroom finished!

Keith and Lynne.

Till next time...parting is such sweet sorrow.

ps Hope you got the chance to meet up with CP too.

Keith, your trip sounds as though it has been so lovely. To meet everyone an added bonus. Have a safe trip tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the photographs. Take care and love to Lynne x

Glad to hear you made it home safely...hope you aren't both totally exhausted.
It was wonderful to meet you both and I am so glad that you had a wonderful trip. I look forward to catching up again one day on your home turf.

Dear Keith and Lynne, what a joy you both were to have as my guests, you are welcome back anytime and perhaps we can have a trip out on the boat next time. Love to you both. Sleep well.

Welcome home guys! Can't wait to hear all about your travels. Also anxiously awaiting your picture update!

Hi Keith - loved all the pics. Have only commented on a few, I would have liked to comment on them all but didn't have all that time. Great job - great pictures. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet you and Lynne. Take care, both of you.

Keith, they are excellent photos. As I said on Sunday, you and Lynne have seen more of Australia than I have. I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday.
Kevin doesn't think I'm quite so strange/weird any more. I think he "gets" this sudoku thing now and he really enjoyed himself at the bbq.

A great collection of photos of your trip. How quickly it all went. So much to remember. It is now 4 weeks since we had the BBQ here. The leaves on the tree in my back yard have turned red and are starting to fall.

I echo Cyn's statement, each photo brought a smile to my face and a comment to my fingers! It makes it feel so real looking at places I know, or know of, and your comments were like listening to a running commentary.
Enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you.

Keith- thank you for sharing your trip with everyone. I just finished going through each including to canada..LOVE all of them. It looks like you guys had such a wonderful time. Makes my mouth water more for the same travels and visits. Also- that's awesome that you met so many aussie friends, in person. i'm jealous...

Keith - I had an absolutely splendid time touring your gallery - can't wait to chat and find out all the details of your travels!

Loved looking at all your pictures from Oz. It looks like you had a wonderful time.

Keith I really loved your photo's...

You have some great memories there Keith. Must have been a wonderful trip for you both. I love the statue poses too. I can't believe you are back already. Take care x

Hi Keith and Lynne - just finished looking through your photos - fantastic! So glad you had a good time in the wonderful land of Oz. We really enjoyed meeting you - y'all come back now!
I didn't know we had so many statues in our cities! :)

Keith, Welcome home. Sure happy that you and Lynne had such a great time. I will look forward to lunch when you come north and to hear of your adventures in the land of OZ. And ... weren't you taking a chance of catching the swine flu riding that pig?? YEEE ... HA!!!

I wondered how long it would take before somebody commented about my change from the bucking wombat to a bucking pig. Dave gets the prize.

Hi Keith and Lynne. Anne and I have just returned from a few days away down the South Coast of NSW and I have now had time to look through your wonderful photos. Clearly you two had a wonderful time. Your photos are great and reflect the fun you had on your holiday Down Under. It was a pleasure to meet you both, you are wonderful ambassadors for your country. Onya mate.

Three 'wonderful's in six sentences - that must be something of a record!

Just had a more unhurried look thru your pics and enjoyed them with you!! It was lovely to meet you both, and thanl you for providing the excuse for a get-together!!!

I love wombat central!

Keith...check out my second last post on SA....but keep it under your hat until Vici reads it

Keith - thanks for the warm sentiments on SA - I am just a reflection of you! What a fabulous time I had in the city with you and the Thrupps.
Thanks so much for making the trip down.
How did Jeanie like meeting your bag of friends?
Hope you guys had a lovely reunion...guess we'll be doing a birthday bash in SF in May for our Bean! What a joy it is to meet our Oz Sudoku family in person...can't wait until October.
Hugs!

Enjoyed the "pay back" Keith...your redwood pictures were amazing!

Hi, Keith! That would have been awesome if you and Lynne could have come to Florida! Maybe we can do a coast-to-coast skype! I still don't know where the meet will be, but hopefully, the restaurant will have wi-fi (if that's what is needed). I don't know who will have a laptop in our group, but I suspect Heidi might. Anyway, we will keep you in the loop on our plans. Ciao, amigo!

Hi Keith, I've finally seen some of your Australian pictures! Love the ice statues before them! Hopefully I'll get to finish viewing the Aussie ones tomorrow!!

Thank you Keith! Schultz was definitely 'dog of a lifetime' for me - and he came into my life precisely because he was meant to. I can't imagine what the aftermath of my brother's death would have been like without his solid form to wrap my arms around while I sobbed. There have been two predecessor dogs in my life whom I loved dearly - and there will be successors. Just not yet.

My condolences for the loss of your special family member: Simon.

P.S. I must check out your photo gallery! I can't think how it slipped my mind not to do so before this!

Hello Keith, thought I would just stop by to say hello. I haven't seen you around much lately so figure you have 'real life' to do, said smiling. I hope all is well with you and Lynne, take care x

Hello, Keith! I read your note to Kate and just wanted to say I understand about your feelings after the loss of Simon. I, too, lost my best friend Sandy, at the end of April, and was not going to get another dog until I healed a bit and also took time to travel to visit family. Fate never bothers to listen to my intentions, and a youngster named Jasper, an "unadoptable" rescue dog somehow ended up in my home. I have a wonderful "babysitter" though, and I had to go help out in a family issue 3 weeks after I got Jasper, and he did well with her (she lives in my home when I am gone). He has filled that empty space on the living room floor and in my heart (but not taking Sandy's space, for sure), and the effort I must put into him to prove he is a fine fellow has kept my mind occupied! He is high energy (read - beserk at times) so we walk about 3 miles a day, and this has been good for me as well. I am so pleased that this little guy has a good life now to make up for his dreadful start as an abused dog!

Hello Keith - I just checked out your Aussie pictures! Wow! It looks like your trip was FANTASTIC! I really enjoyed looking at all of the picture and your sense of humor! Is there any chance you will be going to Florida for the Fionafest? Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!

Well, Keith, I guess you can't blame a person for hoping. Your vacation will be fun with family. Have a great day!

HI Keith, many thanks for your birthday wishes to me the other day! pity you can't make Fl but maybe we'll manage a skype link up?

Stopped in for a hello, Keith! (Not many people jumped into yesterday's poser about "being the provider" but I liked what you had to say.) And I've always loved "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams. Thanks!

Hi Keith, thanks for my birthday greetings, I had a great day and I too, hope there will be many more.

I notice your interest in Classical Gas - have you heard the version by Tommy Emmanuel, and Aussie who seems to be doing well.

Happy 4th of July! Let freedom ring!!!

Keith, Jake Shimabukuro is awesome. Thanks for posting this. How did you stumble across him?

Keith, thanks for the link to the GB Uke Band. I actually posted that on my page after giving tribute to you on the Easy page for sending it to me. Cheers!

for the wonderful birthday greetings. It is so cool to be able to celebrate with all friends from all over the world.
You made my day very special! Hugs!
BTW - so cool to meet the famous Jeanne on your page! Hope she was as impressed with your collection as we all were. Been reading about wombats and falling in love with them.
