Australia-Sunshine Coast

 

 We stayed in Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia. Jeff and Clare's friend Scotty has a condo there. We could watch the sunrise without getting out of bed!

 It's the sunshine coast but we got a good bit of rain.  Good thing they have spots to bag your brolly!
 Clare and I spent quite a bit of time shopping and floating in the pool while the guys swam, biked, ran and fretted!!

  Watched kayak races from our balcony.

 Actually saw some kangaroos on the side of the road! You don't see that in Spencerport!

 
 
 
We came to Australia so Lou, Jeff and Simon could do the Mooloolaba tri. Clare and I did the twilight 5k a couple days before.

  
Here's the altitude. You know how I love hills!!😡
   
Clare coming in. They interviewed her at the finish!
 The sea was angry all the days leading up to the tri! That's no lake Ontario!





 

 Jeff was ready for the tri... the night before!

 

 he looks fast!!


 Ready!!


 

 the rainbow at the start of the race was a good sign!





 And they're off!

 

 it was rough coming in.

April 2019 Dogless If I counted up the years of my life I’ve spent without a pet, I am guessing it would be less than 5 years. Most of my life I’ve lived with dogs, but I’ve also cohabitated with   cats and various guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, and even hermit crabs. I recently lost my   buddy Teddy.   If you have also shared your home with a little buddy, you get it. My house is empty. Funny thing to say when there are   two of us here…but there is a little dog shaped hole in every room. It is strikingly noticeable how   everything I do, once revolved around a 10 lb. bundle of energetic fur. For a little guy, he had a big presence!   If I was in the house, he was by my side.   My last sight as I walked out the door was those panicked eyes pleading me not to go.   My first sight when I returned was those eyes of Joy that I was back.    I’m told, when I was gone, he was at the top of the stairs waiting for my return....
