Hmmm...


New Toyota Corollas to be distributed to senior missionary couples who have older Camrys. License plates include consecutive numbers 14 through 20! (We keep the Camry we have.)

A visit with Roy Brough--a fourth cousin


Entering Nords Wharf, a small town on the shores of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales--Sunday, April 19, 2009


Dad with his fourth cousin once removed, Roy Brough. They are exactly the same age.


Roy and Joanne Brough with Kylie, their daughter-in-law. She and Andrew live just up the street. (Andrew was away this day.) The Broughs' daughter, Nicole, lives in Melbourne.


The three of us, with Roy and Joanne Brough


Roy and Joanne's back yard, at dusk. This town is for those who live to sail!


Joanne, daughter Nicole, son Andrew, and Roy Brough

Fun with a nearby sign


From left, Elders Embley, Larsen, Brough, Warby, Wright, (now to back row) Oldroyd, Pierson. Embleys work with us in family history. Larsens are our neighbors in the flat. Elder Oldroyd is Dr. Oldroyd.

Heavy rains


Our driveway during a rainstorm


Looking out our bedroom window. (You can't really see how heavy the rain is, because the camera focused on the screen!)

More flora of Sydney


Purple blossoms for autumn


Blossoms are wax-like--petty enough for a lady's hair!


Our neighbor's tree


Near entrance to Distribution Centre (building next to our office)


Notice the interesting long pink blossoms at the top of this tree.
