The Goonetillekes

December 26 - We have had three, very slow weeks.  But that has all changed with the arrival of Nigel and Linda.  We share something very special with these folks: Ayla, our granddaughter.  Oh yea, I almost forgot:  first our son David had to marry their daughter Jeanelle for this little miracle to happen.  Smile.  And as some of you know, there is a second little miracle in the oven.  It is rising every day, getting a little browner, and should be ready for delivery sometime in February.  

Our elder and his wife are on vacation, so we had the meeting this morning in our living room.  Nigel and I drove over to Pythagorio and picked up the younger Helen.  Seven of us gathered around the emblems and shared a little from the heart.

We couldn't keep Nigel from the waterfall, even if it was late December


Two crazy old coots: grandpa Nigel and grandpa Karl


Linda seems to be taking to Greek Orthodoxy in a big way ........
