We've had a visitor.
All the way from "Down Under" to "Up Here".
At least, from our perspective it's up. :)
It took fourteen hours of flight for our guest to finally
arrive in our neck of the woods.
Australia really is on the opposite side of the globe.
What a thought!
This is the first time we have had the opportunity
to host the daughter of a blogging friend in our home.
Isn't it amazing what can happen when you blog?
Real live people are on the other side of the screen.
Sometimes, they are on the other side of the world.
Those people have the potential to become our friends.
And, that's how it happened. What fun!
Miss M's Mum sent us treats from her homeland.
Included in the mix was a tube of Vegemite.
Now, that was a taste experience!
I preferred the chocolate. :)
It's been like having a big sister for Emma around here.
They went ice skating together and played "Life".
They cleaned the dishes together and made friendship bracelets.
And, that was only on the first day.
Emma will be sorry to see her go.
On her second day with us, we put her to work.
The employment? Baking a Lemon Meringue Pie.
It was yummy, nummy! SO good.
Her Mum was right ~
she knows what to do when it comes to baking.
We headed out for the afternoon to our local beach.
The girls climbed up a big rock at which point
Miss M informed us of her fear of heights.
Ann...I was trying to take good care of her ~ truly!
Just prior to her flight out of town today,
we were able to scoot down to the city and visit Stanley Park.
It was a perfect day ~ warm-ish with blue skies and sunshine.
We've all become fast friends.
A pile of leaves is an open invitation for this ~
Wouldn't you agree?
The real reason she came to Canada was to
visit with friends who live on the Prairies.
So, we only had her with us for the weekend.
Just before she leaves for home, we will have her for one more day.
We are looking forward to it ~ I think she is, too.

They conquered it.
However, coming down was more of a challenge.
Thankfully, nothing got broken or even bruised.
I breathed a big sigh of relief when they were once again on solid ground.

Thank you, Ann, for letting your girl come stay with us.
It's been a blessing to us all.
Anyone else want to send me their young people?
Let's talk.
With Love,
