settling in St. George
we're finally done in Emerald! yahoo! we had a good Sabbath last weekend. . .walked to Emerald SDA church. . .there were about 25 people there. . mostly kids. .it was a nice service. . .they invited us to stay for fellowship lunch and who could refuse that offer?. . haa haa. .not us. . we were "adopted" by grandma Jean who drove us home, but not without a tour of Emerald first. . .she was a crazy driver which made it fun . . .
our multicultural crew of 20 (german, aussie, kiwi, japanese, finnish, russian and of course CANADIAN) travelled to St. George Thursday afternoon. . .the last night our boss treated everyone to dinner and drinks. . .as for rob and i we had "soft drinks". . the rest of the crew. . not so soft. . .the boss trusted us with his vehicle keys and we left the party as it was just beginning. . .it was interesting to hear their stories the next morning. . .as some of them didn't even remember what they did. . .and to see the shocked looks on their faces was very entertaining as the stories unfolded. . .cuts and bruises were explained. . .haa haa. . glad we missed out on that part of the evening. . .the next morning at work was quiet. . .only 5 of us showed. . .and the rest slowly staggered in. . .we managed to finish and start our eventful trip to St. George by 1pm. . .lucky rob was assigned to drive the luggage van. . .yay!. . .no A/C, tail lights, dash lights or horm, but our own vehicle was fun! :) then came the action. . . car troubles and more car troubles. . .we finally arrived at around 10pm. . it was only supposed to be a 6 hour trip. . .ahh well. . at least my mechanic came in handy. . .haa haa. . .that's why i carry him arround .. haa haa
here are photos of the week. . . enjoy!!! :)
our caravan home in Emerald. . .it was sufficient! :) :) :)
sunset over the vineyards. . .makes a nice postcard. . :) but especially a nice end to the day!

The pictures prove it - hard work!! Hope your next stint isn't quite so hard. Glad you had a mechanic along on the trip - and yes, a great looking couple.
