In response to "Perth"

Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.

Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.

Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.

Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

Deep end

PROMPT November 3rd

Write about a time when you were "thrown in the deep end." This can be taken literally or figuratively.

Lots of times I've had to learn the hard way. The first time I learned not to trust anyone. even, or especially, your Dad.
"Go to the top of the water slide," he says. "I'll catch you," he says. Mmmm.

Scuba diving was another time. I did this as a bet with my husband. "You learn to scuba and then we can dive together. Then I'll learn to ballroom dance."
I did the Scuber which took me forever as I'm so claustrophobic. He decided that ballroom dancing was too stressful after one lesson! Cheat!

Abseiling, was the next time I took a leap of faith, literally. Duped I was. Daughter failed to mention when she asked me to come along to watch her and her friend have a go at walking backwards of a cliff, that she'd paid for me to do it too!

I don't know what pleasure people achieve from tormenting me.
