Update :)

Hi all!
Sorry it's been a while but really, nothing has happened. The biggest thing that's happened is the Sunday Aussie Lunch. Four of us were invited to eat over at a local families house we had the Averys. Lynn and Ken are in their late 60s and are too adorable. They've had plenty of study abroad students stay in their home for a year/semester and love it. They've primarily had girls from Asia as their home stay but have been volunteering for the Lunch since it started (apparently that was only last year!) At around 11:45am, Lynn picked us up from school (Liz, Heather, Dani and myself) She's a short lady with curly hair and the nicest smile, very chatty and so kind. She tried to talk almost the whole way to her house, sometimes to herself lol. She lives about 10minutes from the Uni in a beautiful home. If you've ever seen the movies and the grandmas house is very cluttery but homey and warm? This was Lynn and Kens house. Speaking of Ken he arrived a little late because he stayed for the full church sermon. We all sat down had "barbecue" which here means more sausage, salad and garlic bread. The best part was the homemade apple crumble cake with custard!! yeah! It's like their whip cream here. They put it on almost all deserts and mmmm it's good. I thought of my grandma when I was with the Averys, she would have loved this house. The parrots sit on the veranda and wait for Lynn to feed them. There are a few that would eat right out of her hand. My grandma would love to do that. :) Ken tried to explain a little bit of Rugby to us, impossible but it was so cute to see him try. In all it was so nice! Dani and I have a thank you card for them we'll be sending once the other girls sign it. Also nice ladies today I met TINA! everyone in Uni talks about this lady. She lives right down the street and has all the veggies and fruit you might need... ALL right out of her garden! Dani and I decided to check it out and it's so quaint! She's Italian, very old and so adorable! When we introduced ourselves she just held our hands and smiled and talked away! I'll definitely be stopping by later! Alrighty! That's all for now! Gnite!
