Anne from Albany W Australia

Gorgeous photos Anne! We saw some of the Outback when we were there for a month, but your photos are spectacular! ❤️💕❤️

Anne, whilst looking at your photos the other day, I thought hmmm I want to do this trip.
I showed Peter the photos, and he is thinking the same, want to this trip too.
Roll on Retirement!!!!

I have noticed your pics on my completion. I was there in April. Great part of the world

Hi Anne, thanks for the birthday wishes. The last 25 months have been a challenge. Two successful corneal transplants, one not so. A torn cornea. No driving for two years together with vision that does not have the last little bit of acuity, so no reading etc. I'm almost there. Should be doing puzzles again soon. Thanks agaun.

Oh Anne, I am so envious!!! One you had a wonderful trip in a hot air balloon and two, you have kids who give you rides in a hot air balloon as a present!!!

Hello Anne, loved seeing your photos.
I love seeing the balloons,when we stay at my brothers place at Glasshouse Mountain two balloons come over his house every morning,unless it's too windy.
Cheers Amelia.

Hi, Anne - thanks for answering all my questions scattered throughout your hot air balloon photos - I wasn't aware of how many until I began reading your replies. We had friends who did ballooning ...which surely wasn't a solo sport - it took many willing helpers for lift off as well as to follow & locate where they landed to help collect all the paraphernalia after a flight!

It was a wonderful birthday gift!

I passed your Birthday wishes on to my husband ... and he thanks you! They caught a lot of fish and had a great bonding time. Our son made dinner this evening, so all in all it WAS a great day!

Thanks Anne for your good wishes. All good with the procedure.

Thank you, Anne ! The whole family turned up at my sisters place on Sunday and gave me the best surprise party ever and today I'm being taken out for lunch.

Thanks Anne for your kind comments re my birthday. May Christmas and the New Year bring you and your family lots of contentment and joy

Hi Anne, I know what you mean about not being closer for cuddles. Even though Avery is closer than your Ario,I don't see her as much as the other little ones. I'll see if I can post a photo of my two youngest great granddaughters on my page.
Hope you can get the computer to behave itself soon.

I had noticed your absence, but we've been gone so I decided I'd likely missed some day's page of comments & you'd announced another exotic escape/trip/adventure - maybe just a return trip to rock that new great grand-baby! Nice to see you back saying 'Goodnight, all'!

Thank you for your wishes ! Serban

Happy Birthday Anne, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sorry I missed your birthday down under, but it is still your birthday up here so I will celebrate!

for the Birthday wishes, Anne! My Bucket List has you and I going going biking together! That would be so cool! Have a good year yourself, Old Gal!

Hi Anne
Yep, that was the trip. One of the best things I've done. And visited Albany too and the old Whaling Station, but the whale calling made me too upset to see it all. Big sook huh?

The Gibbs River Road was too rough in 1998 for my road bike so stuck to Route 1 through the Kimberley.
I hoped to have been there by now but my kidneys went AWL two years back and the recovery process is a long one. I dodged dialysis but too old for a transplant.

Thanks Anne for your kind wishes and thoughts

Awwww! Thank you, Anne!!! One of these days after this crisis, I am going to make it Australia and one of the first people I want to meet is you!!! Let's go for a tea, my treat!! You just pick the best place for tea!

I love your Little Beach at Two People Bay! Secluded enough? Bet you could sneak off to it now!

Thx Anne. Got a call from the recovery room nurse saying she's out of surgery, but not yet awake. It was her impression the surgery was a success.

Because of the shelter in place rules, hospitals aren't allowing visitors. Frustrating, but we're talking on the phone and texting. So far, recovery isn't being smooth, but apparently, the surgery was successful.

Thanks Anne for your kind wishes for Friday's procedure. I'm late with with my return post because I didn't see your post until now.

Hi Anne,
Well the virus is a little closer. A case has shopped in my local Super market in Bendigo in the past week. I was there about 10 days ago.

I have little faith in the Daniel Andrews State govt. they have stuffed up constantly so far so no confidence their latest measures are the best choices.. but will comply as I don’t like anarchy.

Hate wearing a mask. Live in a house surrounded by trees.. so reasonably pleasant to be at home.

Enjoy WA. A good state to be.

Thanks, Anne. Hopefully this will be the last of it!

Hi Anne, I have just found my sign in details again. I had a quick look at your outback photos, they're stunning. Brings back memories of our round trip.

Thank you for remembering.

Hello, Anne,
You have wonderful, beautiful pictures here!
Thank you for the information on the personal page (yes, I did not realize after login, though read about it in the initial page of the site).
I also like the https (secure) feature of the site.
I need to get acquainted with the way people communicate on Sudoku. The notation (Eureka and nice loop notation) I understand well, but I've seen things like 'basics to 24', 'singles to 81'. Basics, singles I understand but the 'to xx' part is the one new to me. I'd guess it means basics moves from move 1 to 24 and in the other case, after some move, only singles up to move 81. I like that people seem to use rows (top to bottom?) from 'a' to 'i' and columns (left to right) from 1 to 9, right? It is a very elegant notation (similar to the one used in chess). Let me stop here to avoid asking too much.
I have to figure it out by looking around in the site.
Many thanks!
Regards,
jco

Hello, Anne,

Just saw Steve tips on Sudoku and realized the issue on notation (really like in chess).
Forgot to mention how nice it feels visiting your personal page!
Have a nice day,
Regards,
jco

Anne, Thanks for my Birthday Wishes - this year I've decided it is not a birthday DAY, but a SEASON ... I've been celebrating for quite some time now & will continue to do so whenever I have the opportunity - who knows what this upcoming year will bring; at this point, I've decided to stay safe but still enjoy each day as it arrives!

Thank you Anne, it’s been a wonderful day.👍🥳

Merry Christmas,Anne ,enjoy having your family with you.🎄🎅🎁🎁🎄

Hello Anne,

Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2021 for you and your family!
Best regards,
jco

Thanks for the birthday wishes Anne! Unfortunately I'm still in quarantine so can't get out to celebrate, but my eldest son is staying with me at the moment (he's the reason I'm in quarantine) so that'll help. I even get to bake my own birthday cake 😊

Thanks for wish

Hi Anne, Thanks for the welcome note you left on my new page. I was only in Australia once and was surprised by how much I liked it. If it weren't so far away from all my family and friends, I am sure I would want to move to Sydney. There are probably lots of other wonderful places too, but as I was there on a business trip for less than two weeks, I never had time to find them. The thing I liked best about Australia was how nice and friendly all the people were. Maybe some day I will get back.
Brian.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Anne......

Now where did I leave that whiskey bottle.......

to you!
to you!
dear Anne!!
to you!
May your special day have a and lots of
