Oh no Jo, poor Sammy, I hope he feels better soon.
LIghtning Ridge is in the desert, kinda, it's an opal mining town, Dh's bro is out there making an absolute fortune & has been begging us for years to come out there, we have mines out there & DH usually goes up 2 times a year, last month he went up & made some $$ & now he has opal fever. We're going after Xmas, yuck in the hottest part of the year, but I'm going to rent a place in town til our place is fixed up, alot he he .
