Sydney. December 06

Sydney Opera House, the night Mom treated me to The Australian Ballet's Raymonda.
Michelle & Me. :) Another ten year reunion.
Rendezvous with Renee (one of my besties in elementary school) in Starbucks Darling Harbour. Fun times!

Australian Christmas Reunion

Christmas at Hat Head holiday house. L to R; Uncle Drew, Auntie Rae, Me, Mom, Jack (and Sossie), Dad, Auntie Jennie, Uncle Glenn, Amy (and baby), Steve, and Adam. Adrian & Jo with little Monisha, in England, complete the family. Grandpa & Grandma Bewsher would have been so happy to see the three boys and their families together after ten years. :)The river across the street from the house. The river met the bay, just down from the house. Perfect for both river and ocean fun: snorkelling, fishing, canoeing, swimming, tubing, water skiing...

Drew & Rae's boat.Dad's big catch! Cooked for "tea" later...and delicious. Just like old times.
See all the kangaroos?
A summer Christmas.

Tasmania. December 06

The beautiful beach I grew up on in Tassie. A cool, sunny summer day.

Gum trees.
City of Hobart, Tasmania's capital, 20 minutes from my old house on the beach. Quaint, historic, and picturesque...under Mt. Wellington and on a harbour. My great grandparent's house.

Other quaint houses in South Hobart.Hydrangeas (my favorite flower!) in St. David's Park.
The Hazards and Coles Bay. Tasmania's East Coast.
Friendly Beaches.
A wallaby and joey in her pouch!

Freycinet Peninsula. Tasmanian coastline...breathtaking!

Daddy & I climbed to the top of Mt. Amos, overlooking Wineglass Bay. This has to be one of the most beautiful views in the world.

Danielle & I...best friends in elementary school. Wow! It's been ten years.Katie Madden, all grown up. We had the sweetest time re-connecting after years of letters. The Maddens were our wonderful hosts, staying on "our" beach.

Sherrin Ward (soon to be Sherrin Drew!) & I reunited a few years back in Texas...and now in Tassie again. So great to meet Dave.

Easter 07

Grandpa Waas came from California! And Drew came, too. Our first time to be at Mom & Dad's together.


About to ride on the golf cart. A cold, crispy Easter this year!

Spring Banquet. April 07

We had a lovely evening for Antioch's Volunteer Appreciation Banquet. A great excuse for a fun date!

Here we are with Andrew & Michele Owen.
