Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Fair Dinkum

(karen)
We're at T minus 7 days and counting! Yesterday concluded about two weeks of solid merry-making and goodbyes as we prepare to leave our friends and home in LA. The scene at the Fergason household has been pretty much this:

packing up

While I was finishing up my last couple days of work this week, Steve went into overdrive to box up all the last minute crap that you don't even realize you have until you move. What a guy. He and Nick spent a day driving up to Oxnard to put everything in the storage facility until our return next August. I know it seems silly to take our stuff all the way to Oxnard, but at a savings of $80 a month I think you'd do the same.

In the meantime we're camping out in our sleeping bags in this big empty house for the next two nights and then it's off to Steve's parent's house near Placerville on Christmas Day. We'll spend a few days relaxing in gold country before we jump on the plane south. Tune in again...same bat time, same bat channel.

Who the heck are you Angelenos trying to fool with your fair dinkum jive? You haven't even left the country yet! Nice try.
Next thing you know Steve will be changing his name to Bruce.
On a future blog you'll have to show that you're comparing knife sizes with Paul Hogan.
Go eat some 'roos and find something Australian for beer.
Now get outta here.
love, mom
