Hello, my friends, and welcome to Life with Sally podcast. I'm so glad you're here, so please make yourself a cup of tea and come on in.

Hello, my wonderful friends. I am Sally and I'm sitting in a chair in Colorado having just finished my tea time. Every single afternoon, no matter who is at my house at about 3.30 or 4,

we all sit around and drink tea and discuss the issues of the world and eat some kind of a sweet or cookie.

And then sometimes we go on a walk an hour or so later.

And it's so beautiful.

Finally right now, it's been so cold here.

And everyone else has said it's been hot where they are.

So I hope that you've had at least as good of a moment as I have had.

Anyway, I bring my greetings to you.

I am, for those of you who are new to my podcast, I am a mama of four adult children.

Sarah lives with her five children in Oxford, England.

And she is quite a writer, but she's quite an everythinger. She cooks, she teaches, she hosts people, she does hospitality, and she's got, of course, the cutest, most intelligent, most outstanding children because they're my grandchildren.

So anyway, I try to see if I can work in a time to go see them a couple of times a year because

they're so lovely to me.

Then there's Joel, and he is applying for and hoping to get a visa based on his,

he has a real skill and involvement in composing choral music, leading choral choirs and

doing interesting things.

And if he can get his visa, which will have to come through an interview and a long,

a long, I don't know what you'd call it.

It's like 10 people that have to refer you and 10 experiences that you had and some of your

samples of music and this and that. Anyway, it is an application to become an arts leader

in the country of England. So he's working on that right now. And then there is Nathan and Kelia. and I'm so happy to have Nathan and Keelea.
