A parcel from

Bethany Knights

Hi, Sharon and Geoff
I've been thinking about Tanya so much on my trip ... I think she would be proud of all the planning I've done !!
I sent you something about a month ago, and just wondering if you got it ??

And 'hi' to you and Lachlan way over there in Switzerland !!
Tanya Mary = Planning and Lists ... bet you've done her proud !!
She loved her 'world tour' and you may get a bit sad at times but be happy too, especially when you get to Venice
Here is a quote from her Diary ... "Venice beats everywhere I have been so far and the places I have yet to go will have a tough time beating it !!"
No, we haven't received anything from you at all ... I presume you sent it to PO Box 62 Trinity Beach
As a Postal Manager, Sharon can sometimes track down "lost items" so if you send dates and details, she'll see what can be found
Whatever it is, it's disappointing, and hope it arrives
PS - your passport getting a few stamps in it ?? ... another souvenir to keep !!

Will chase this up when I get home

Okay ... and we'll let you know if anything arrives / delivered
Have a Great Day, you tourists you !!

Thanks
I miss her
You guys are the sweetest

Hi to you two
Sunday afternoon ... and I am sitting on the back patio ... with Sharon + Sherry + Cigarettes
I suddenly had a brain storm !! ... "What if Bethany posted it to our street address ??"
We hardly ever check it but went for a walk to the mail boxes
THERE WAS AN ENVELOPE FROM BETHANY !!
Sharon wanted to look right then but I said ... "Let's go visit with Tanya while you open and read it"
"SHAKE" ... and I hope the photos turn out okay
That's all from me ... Sharon is going to write herself later
Bethany, just before we left Her Plaque to come home, Sharon said ... "Tanya, you've got a Very Special Friend"
She is right !!
( I'm going now to read your note and the story )

I'm so glad you got it and I hope you enjoy what I sent

I loved your note and I love the story
I was so happy Byron got to shake his brother's hand !!
Would really like that pair of glasses to see My Girl in Heaven !!
Tanya would be so happy for you and Lachlan having this wonderful trip and we are happy for you too
We want you to enjoy it and make wonderful memories
Want to finish by saying have a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to seeing some Christmas Day pics
Much, much love to you

I want glasses like those too !!
Thank you, I love the comments and that you're thinking of us
Tanti Baci

Sharon, I had to look it up ... Tanti Baci = Love and Kisses
She has been using a bit of Italian over the last few days, and I think this Bethany girl is not coming home and is going to stay in Italy !!

Hahaha ... I learned Italian all throughout high school and it's nice to use some
Un po, de certa
I'm thinking of taking it up again and wondering if I should spend next summer in Florence learning more ??

Or you could live there and just holiday on The Tablelands every year or two !!
Have a great day

Hahaha yes ... Mareeba does quite pale in comparison !!
