Visit to the USA

While in Virginia we attended my cousin’s wedding. What fun. Relatives everywhere.

Then it was on to Texas. Diego is a doll. Christine and Rudy seem happy in Texas. Houston is not our idea of an ideal city to live in, but they seem to like it.

Peggy’s parents had just moved into assisted living and she was able to help get them settled. In the month before we began our holiday, Peggy’s mom had major abdominal surgery for an obstruction and then a stroke. They had already set a move in date of June 1. In the months since they seem to be adjusting. Their health has definitely improved. The regular meals and medicine and care are what they needed. My sister, Nan has taken care of so much since we moved to Australia that I can never thank her enough. She has been a champ.

Gus and Peggy came back separately, but they both noticed that as they approached the Qantas counter in Los Angeles, it sounded like home. It felt good to hear the Australian accent.
