Family Connections - Brunswick Heads and Coolangatta

If you are lucky, you have many families. We met up with Marg's sister Jane and  nephew Sam and his family (lovely wife Sally and adorable kids Layla and Jamie) for lunch in the town of Pottsville near Brunswick Heads. Notice Jack's new Aussie hat (thank you, Janie) which will also shade him from New Mexico sun.

We also have Santa Fe family. Sadly our friends Bonnie and Ed have moved from Santa Fe to New York and Florida,  but incredibly, Bonnie's sister Michelle lives very close to Brunswick and kindly agreed to drive into town.  We met for a fabulous lunch and started a new friendship.

Finally, in Coolangatta, Queensland, near Surfers Paradise, we met up with Zara D'Cotta, Sarah's daughter whom Marg has known for years....part of our Australian family. We were happy to celebrate her 40th birthday with a lovely lunch at Siblings Kirra (love the name). Even the restaurant has family connections as Jack's cousin Julie recommended the place because she has ties with the owners.
