Well howdy y'all

That's my American accent up there - and that's about enough of that!  You guessed it, we went to the USA and have made it back safe, sound and without causing too much disruption to the good people of the United States.  Wow.  We had the BEST time.  I won't gush.  But.  If you happen to be wondering where in the US to visit.  Well.  A little town called Cody, in Wyoming.  Buffalo Bill's old digs.  Not particularly because of all the cowboy and Buffalo Bill goings-on - which was heaps fun and heaps interesting of course -  but, because of the people!  What a fantastic bunch of people we met, all local to Cody.  I don't know how to explain it, I have simply never felt so welcomed by a town.  We were even farewelled at the airport when we left, by a couple of locals we'd been chatting with while we were in town.  Just outta the blue, we're at the airport and in walk these locals to see us off.  Yeah we'd told them when we were leaving, just in conversation, but I mean, really!  It was such a thrill, and probably the No. 1 highlight of our trip, and you'd never think being seen off at the airport was going to be the thing you'd remember about your holiday would you?  but there ya go.

Oh yeah, my daughter got married in Vegas too.  Haha!  Ok ok I'm a rotten mother, THAT was another highlight of our trip.  Honest.  Elvis and all.  Actually I can't speak more highly of Viva Las Vegas weddings either, it was fantastic.  My daughter looked beautiful, she is beautiful of course, but they really had her looking like a supermodel, and the ceremony was everything you'd want, there were laughs and there were tears, and all done so well, in just the right way.  I cried of course.  Thing is, I didnt expect to, it was a Vegas wedding, Elvis and all that, and I really thought it'd just be a whole lot of fun, but the ceremony was touching (as well as silly), so what more can a mother say, fantastic wedding!

Best go, work to do ... hope all is well in your world
