She didn't elaborate on much else but one can only imagine the other damage they have suffered.

She asked to be remembered to you all.
Hugs and blessings, Meganne

I will defnitively keep her in my prayers, as I have been praying for all of the people in their area too. Here we are having a heatwave for the last three days, and as I am sitting here I am dripping with sweat, and it is so hard to see everyone so far away battling so much water. I would rather battle the heat, than be in their shoes.
My prayers goes out to her and may things start looking up soon.
Warm hugs and Gods blessings.
Marietta

Many of the news in television do not really upset me- healthy mechanism not to go mad about all the bad things going on in the world.
But when I hear someone I "know" is involved, things change and I understand that these pictures are real. Real swimming snakes looking for shelter in your kitchen cabinet.
That's tough.
But as far as I know, "Aussies" are tough too and face problems the very cool way.
Best wishes to you, Libster.

I can't even imagine what a hardship this is for her & the whole populace affected by this disaster. These natural disasters are so devastating and I will definately keep her in my prayers. My Aunt & Uncle lost everything in the New Orleans disaster and it took years for them to rebuild their lives...
I wish there was more I could do for her....I know the trauma she must be experiencing.

Have seen some TV news clips of the devastation the floods have caused in your country. Will be thinking of her during this difficult time of recovery.

Even though we live in country Sth Aus. our TV stations are Imparja and Southern Cross 7 which both cover Qld. and of course we only get Qld news. (except for ABC which is SA news) Subsequently, we are very aware of the floods and it certainly devastating. Prayers with all residents of Rocky and Emerald and others who are affected.

HI all, yes I have been away for some time now. Those who were on the discussion boards "back then" might remember I was back to the books and with the kids growing madly, I have let some things slip away, such as cute (and lots of sewing time to boot). The quilt was the one that we all started to put together for the Ronald McDonald charity house here in Qld. It was a slow project, but I feel sad that all the efforts from those who contributed have gone to waste. Apart from some patterns and fabric, we really suffered little more than inconvenience compared to others who have had water more than halfway up their walls. What got damaged for our home was a room at the back of the garage that was used to house the stuff that hubby was cranky about and gave me somewhere to 'poke about' my business without cluttering up the house. Thanks so much for your thoughts, but if you really want to do something meaningful, try going to facebook and doing a search for cq floods adopt-a-family for school supplies. One wonderful lady has started a small idea of helping out schoolkids who have no home and parents who have no income (particularly those done over by the insurance companies) to buy books. The lady remembers the floods of two years ago where some kids went to school with one pencil and a single book. It was heartbreaking for her and the community, so she is doing this now.
Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers, I should be coming back again occassionally amongst the essays and assignments, but still a long haul ahead of me.

cheers, keep safe all, Lib.
