aussies......

ok, so i may, or may not have mentioned that several weeks ago my spouse and i hosted an overnight stay for a pair of aussies who were biking across america.....a couple about our age who met whilst working in the northwestern australia mining district......who semi-retired to a life of house-sitting on the eastern coast........they finished their trek......and rather than rushing back home from the atlantic seaboard.....felt compelled to travel instead to louisiana to help with post-katrina work....and so we received an email today from these fine folks who have been working relief for nearly 3 weeks now......a couple of aussie missionaries, if you will........who really have no commitments until christmas....when they have agreed to housesit for couple who will be spending the holidays in england.........what a wonderful life.........i should mention that this pair have not 2 pounds of body fat between them......
