Well, where has that time gone? We have achieved so much since my last post.
We sold our van, purchased a house in Tasmania, I traveled to England and Scotland with a life-long friend. Sadly, we lost my daughter-in-law to cancer, we sold the house in Tasmania and we are now living on the South Coast of NSW.
Do I have regrets? Only one! I wish my daughter in law was still with us! Looking on the positive side, I am so grateful that she chose my son to be her husband and together they gave us two treasured little boys and many, many wonderful memories that I will take to my grave. I could never have wished for a better daughter in law. Thanks, Shez.
So, after we reached Tasmania, we loved it so much we decided to sell the caravan and purchase a house. That house was just perfect! The only thing missing was my kids and grandkids. Eighteen months later a snap decision was made and here we are back in New South Wales. Back with the most important possessions in the world…..our family.
While I was in Tasmania I began to study online with the University of Tasmania (UTAS). Diploma of Family History was my choice (of course).
I have been researching our family since 1981 and I thought I was well versed in research, after all those years. I was so wrong! I have learned so much. I have one more unit to do and I will graduate.
Now, while I have been unpacking, I found my folders from Uni and I thought that I would like to preserve the stories I have written during my study. I was going to save them all in a file on my computer but I thought that they would eventually get lost. Then the lightbulb clicked and I recalled my WordPress Blog. This is the place where I can save them and share with those who wish to read them………and I won’t lose them!
So my next few blogs will be my essays. My last blog, being my niece’s wedding was part of my studies. I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed the wedding and the unit.
I hope you enjoy my stories.
My condolences for the loss in your family, but happy you’ve been so busy with other episodes in your life!
Welcome back, hope to catch up with all you ‘Southerners’ soon. Love to all.
You have had happy times and sad times had some moves.Done your research and accomplised a lot now it is time to relax continue with your studies.Love always.
