Myself, with neice Marie, took Aunty Ada to Fremantle to view the Welcome Walls where back in 2010 the third stage were unveiled at the wharf on the 11th December and Aunty Ada had gone to the unveiling. At that time I was living in Wynnum in Queensland. Now back in Western Australia in Kelmscott, we went to the walls to see the names of these special people: Henry Lockey, Aunty Ada's father and my grandfather, Margaret H Lockey Aunty Dad's Mum and my grandmother, and M.E. (Margaret Elizabeth), their daughter, Aunty Ada's eldest sister and my mother. My sister Lorraine, called Liz, came down to meet us there as she lived nearby in Spearwood. It was a wonderful moment seeing this link of our ancestors that started off the family in Western Australia. Granddad arrived on the Jervis Bay in 1923 and he sponsored Nanna and my tiny Mum, who was two and a half, out in 1924. They arrived on the Barramine

Understanding blogging
I have a lot to learn but am willing to give things a go. I like putting interesting articles, stuff about my Church, what's in the news lately and things and people that I care about, on my blog. Perhaps all these should be put in pages, but I know not how to do that. So back to the blogging lessons....

Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney
This will be a wonderful, most providential event to take place if Mitt Romney makes it to the President of America. He has been gradually creeping up the lladder
GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Bowing to the inevitable after an improbably resilient run for the White House, Rick Santorum quit the presidential race on Tuesday, clearing the way for Mitt Romney to claim the Republican nomination.
"We made a decision over the weekend, that while this presidential race for us is over, for me, and we will suspend our campaign today, we are not done fighting," he said.
Santorum, appearing with his family, told supporters that the battle to defeat President Barack Obama would go on but he pointedly made no mention or endorsement of Romney, whom he had derided as an unworthy standard-bearer for the GOP.
The former Pennsylvania senator stressed that he'd taken his presidential bid farther than anyone expected, calling his campaign "as improbable as any race that you will ever see for president."
"Against all odds," he said, "we won 11 states, millions of voters, millions of votes."
Santorum signaled his intention of maintaining a voice in the campaign to come, saying: "This game is a long, long, long way from over. We will continue to go out and fight and defeat President Barack Obama."
Santorum spoke with Romney before the announcement, a Republican source close to the campaign said, and Romney asked to meet him sometime in the future
The delegate totals told the tale of Santorum's demise. Romney has more than twice as many delegates as Santorum and is on pace to reach the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination by early June. Still in the race, but not considered a factor: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
Santorum had hoped to keep his campaign going through the Pennsylvania primary on April 24, but decided to fold after his severely ill 3-year-old daughter, Bella, spent the weekend in the hospital.
Santorum, a feisty campaigner who took everyone by surprise with his win in Iowa's leadoff caucuses, ran on his conservative credentials and his experience in Congress — he was a House member for four years and senator for 12 — but was hobbled by a lack of money and organization.
He said that while Romney was accumulating more delegates, "we were winning in a very different way. We were touching hearts" with a conservative message.
In a statement, Romney called Santorum "an able and worthy competitor" and congratulated him on his campaign.
