I'm glad you've had such a wonderful time and great weather. I hope and pray you'll go home to a rainy summer :) It was lovely chatting with you again last night and I'll look forward to future conversations. <BR/>I think the sound files of voices is a good idea.<BR/>I hope you have a safe trip home and manage to squeeze in a few days in Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619869.post-1162870421626868592006-11-07T14:33:00.000+11:002006-11-07T14:33:00.000+11:00First of all, before any photos of me are posted, ...First of all, before any photos of me are posted, I need to have mine professionally retouched. We can "blend" you in, just like they did with Tom Hanks in Forest Gump. I know! I can send you pictures of me from the early 1980s! That way, when Annette and John see them, they'd think, "gee, Robert sure has aged well".<BR/><BR/>And the next time you come to the states, let's all get together in Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639037626523859808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619869.post-1162866839838484572006-11-07T13:33:00.000+11:002006-11-07T13:33:00.000+11:00Sounds like you are having an amazing time.

Just read the latest journal of the Japanese Garden Society, and didnt realise there were so many in the San Francisco Bay area. But I still think I will head to Kyoto. Safe travelling to both of us!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743788129921238096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619869.post-1162846623742356762006-11-07T07:57:00.000+11:002006-11-07T07:57:00.000+11:00Hi Val, great to hear from you!

It was hard to leave you there on the platform and say goodbye. Seeing you again was just incredible and I am so glad Robert found you for me.<BR/><BR/>AnnetteAnnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438767390099203856noreply@blogger.com
