Thanks Gabe,

Thank your for your always upbeat attitude!! I have enjoyed all of your posts that exude such kindness of spirit. I hope your new job goes well and that moving will not be too big a project.

As for the Entocort from Vanuatu, I wish it smelled of frangipani, but no. Maybe I'll ask them to put in a couple of flowers in my next order!

I have not visited Australia, but have spent a good deal of time in NZ and I love that part of the world. We still have many friends down there and hope to get a visit in again sometime.

I always look forward to your posts--you often make my and many others day!

Enjoy the weekend,

Robin
