PP I could just visualize the lovely spot in the swiss alps..ah what peace!
Also got a nce visual from Deb too! The "most beautiful man in the world" huh?

Well, this jumped right out at me and I have an interesting bit of syncroncity for you.... (wish I could say I saw the man too but nope..didn't dern it..)
If you were on Waikiki yes...you are right and not only that...The sand from that beach came from our favorite local beach, Warilla. It is situated close to two openings for Lake Illawarra to the sea. Back when the sand was taken for Wakiki, I believe they were natural openings. and they would silt up with sand fairly quickly. They closed the lake off to the sea years ago but found it had detremental effects as the Lake became filthy with algae and bacteria. Last year they reopened the lake and now the ocean flows into this area freely again. Already there is positive results and the Lake looks and smells better, but the sand will probably once again be a problem and have to be periodically removed from the openings.Not in a check him out kind of way but in the early 90's I went to Hawaii and fell asleep to the sound of Australian voices around me, I was even told the sand was brought in from Aus?
So that sand you slept on in Hawaii is sand that came from a beach that is very close to our heart.

Hope you and the family feel better soon Sis! What you need is some of my mother's chicken soup! That always made me feel better when I was ailing.
Love you guys!

Oh I almost forgot to tell you I finally got to talk to Petra last night via my computer...she sounds so elegant and gorgous! Petra would probably choke on her coffee if she heard me say that but it is true... I was quite the chatterbox and didn't let her get a word in edgewise.
