Staying at Auntie Carol's


The kids went rock wall climbing with cousins Jimmy and Richard. Susan dropped her glasses and broke the frames. So.... Uncle Jim had to try and glue them back together until we could get another pair made for her.

Steve was told our van was delivered to Dallas, Texas. He was a bit nervous about this as the van was supposed to be delivered to Grace Baptist Church in Flower Mound. Instead, it was in the middle of Dallas at a car auction with the keys inside and the door unlocked!!! So, he called a good mate to see if he could go and pick it up. Truong Lee said, "No problem." About two hours later, Truong called and said, "What colour did you say that van was?" By this time Steve is having heart failure and said, "It is red with a huge trailer hooked on behind!!!!!! Do you see it, Truong?" Truong said, "No, I can't see it." By this time Steve is about to pass out. Then Truong says, "I can't see it because I am driving it!" So Steve says the Vietnam war is back on.

We left San Jose (Up at 5:30 AM) and flew to Phoenix and then on to Dallas, Texas. We received all our luggage except Trevor's and the bag of treats (Tim Tam etc.) The airline said that our bags had gone to Houston and we thought we would get them back the next day! But that is another story we will tell you about!
