Take care. Sounds lovely, can I come too? I have relies in the region too. I am over living in Sydney.
The person I would miss the most is my sewing machine service man and my sewing friends.
When we moved a lot with the Army, I always joined a local community service club. Great way to meet the locals and get involved.
Oh my goodness - You will have to change your wardrobe!! My sister in Bundi only ever wears 3/4 leg pants and a tShirt for winter.
1941Hey Pauline
Good luck with the move & enjoy your new life up there. At least you will be near family again. Good news about selling so quickly. Keep in touch

7955Where exactly in the Sth Burnett? I guess it wouldn't be too far from Hervey Bay? It is a big decision to move but being with family makes it worthwhile. Good luck with the move. Viv

North West of Brisbane and yes a few hours drive from Hervey Bay...about just over an hours drive from Toowoomba. Half an hour or so from Kingaroy also.
We are truely in a lovely position here in the south burnett as it is not too far from a lot of great places.
3643wow that sounds like really wonderful news, I am very happy for you. Sadden that you will be further away from friends Meg) but you can call anytime to stay close & just think now she can come vacation @ your house. ~hugs~
299559This is a major change in your life but I believe it will be a good one. Being closer to family is always good. Hopefully you and Meganne can visit each other. I am sure you will be talking each others ear off on the phone or Skype.
Good luck.
109774318426Want to wish you well, have been expecting this for a long time and fully understand, if I had daughters I would want to live near them.

HUGE (((hugs))) for the sadness you are feeling and hoping you have Skype to stay in close contact. Of course you understand why she is moving, to be closer to the children and grandchildren, but you are still hurting and I grieve for you and the loss you are feeling. More(((hugs))) Pam

122864I'M SMILING;;;;;
your heading my way yea!
Oh Pauline such a big decision huh but I do believe Family is the most important...I can imagine our darling Meg missing you. And Chris also.
At least you can still catch up on here...
love you, Kerry
Hope all goes well for the move...
25546Hello darling, thanks for the SMS on the weekend. I SMS'd Meg, but didn't speak to her till this evening. Been so busy with other things and she understood that. She also told me that she was devastated about your move, but that she was expecting it. I see Pam has suggested Skype, I've got Skype and I'm sure Meg would have it. We had a good laugh about my visit today with the Rheumatologist and she felt a bit better. She said "Well at least you are not that far away and I'm definitely closer than where Pauline lives". I also hope your move goes smoothly and how wonderful you'll be closer to your girls. I wish you every blessing Pauline and I'm sorry to say I won't be able to come down and see you before you go. I need to strengthen myself first for long car trips!!!!! Love Chris
234495Check to see if skype is available in Australia, it works like a phone call through your internet connection and the camera of your computer projects your picture to your friend and your friends to you. You will see the person speaking to you and what is happening around them. Skype has a free version here in the states and when our daughter had moved out of state, it was skyping regularly with our daughter and grandson that helped us all stay in contact. Our daughter carried around the lap top throughout the house giving me a tour of not only the inside of the house but the yard and a bit of the neighborhood also. We also could watch our grandson doing his headstands or jumping on the trampoline and would still read him stories and show the pictures across skype. Hopefully you also have skype available to you so you can stay in close contact with Meg, even though you will be far apart. Hearing and seeing the person as they share their life with you makes a world of difference. Maybe this can help you continue to share with your friend. Good luck with the rest of the move process. Pam
8217Good luck, Pauline! It's always hard to leave but you won't regret it!
Best wishes and hugs, Lidia
78118I wish you good luck with your move and hope that all goes well for you and your family. It is such a stressful time, leaving friends where you have lived, but bright days ahead when you get settled. Can always visit back to N.S.W. I hope that your new home fills all your desires, and that you shall be happy. Sandra.
2433145918Enjoy your new home. How far will you be away from Meg?
