We Heard From Gary

He got to Melbourne safely, was picked up on time at the airport, and rushed off to a presentation. He phoned from his temporary office on the 6th floor of a University office. He said he got plenty of sleep on the airplane.

It was hard to talk, since our phone was still bad, so I didn't get more details. But , now the phone has been repaired--they guy came this afternoon and fixed it.

Rachel has some very good news, but I'll write more about that tomorrow.

Auntie Carol has arrived and will be staying with me and Rachel until Saturday. Her birthday is Friday, so I'll be baking a cake, maybe an Italian cream cake, or maybe cheesecake.

The first wildflowers of spring have come out. Due to the bad drought this past winter, we're not expecting such a good crop of flowers this year.
