Thanks everyone for the kind responses. This community has been so good to me. As discussed in earlier postings, Zack plugged me in with Luke. And Ross plugged me in with Worx, it just fell together after that. Very thankful to have such good friends in the States and in Australia.
I will be coming home next Tuesday to surprise my family. None of my family know! I'm really excited to surprise mom. I was thinking of talking to her on skype and then say, "Can you open the door?" We'll see how it goes. But keep it quiet! Its a secret! If anyone has any better ideas please share!
