Nice to be back - I'll be around a bit more once we get our youngest's 21st. birthday done and dusted.

It is tough when they move so far away...though could have been worse...she could have moved to the other side of the world. Perth is the most isolated city on the planet and is over 2,000 miles from Adelaide. We can drive there [if we are *mad* enough] but that takes about 2+ days each way to do it safely, and I don't fancy miles and miles of nothing but the Nullabor [hubby is a car fiend though, so I'm guessing one of these days we will make the *great aussie drive*], the train is another option on the Indian Pacific but it is very expensive [sleepers where you don't have to share with a stranger are A$1250 ONE way]...so the plane it is. Olivia and Michael talked about moving to Perth last year and I was aghast at first but thought, "oh well...gives us a great reason to go to Perth", but gotta say, it is VERY hard when your first grand child is sooooooooo far away. Thank god for the internet and web cams.

Cheers,
Sharon
