You always have such interesting thoughts. I love what you say about neighbors -- isn't it funny how neighborhoods can be so different? We live in a neighborhood where we hardly know each other, yet we've lived in ones where everyone were friends and socialized together. And best wishes for you and your SIL to get your health woes straightened out. The AU health system is something I haven't thought about -- guess I should though as my youngest will be coming your way in February for a semester of study abroad. I'm very excited for him and wish I could be bundled in his suitcase!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-58520993055321829032007-10-23T11:09:00.000+10:002007-10-23T11:09:00.000+10:00Your SG will always need you more than anything el...Your SG will always need you more than anything else. My son is currently asking me for stories about when he was very new in the world. "And what did the little baby do then, mummy?" which is just adorable.

We talked over the fence, they came to borrow some sugar and visited us on birthdays. Here in Christchruch are the fences so high. We see our neighbours only once a year. <BR/>Oh and what a lovely nanna you are.<BR/>That was quite touching.

You are hilarious as usual! Sometimes I think about how lucky we are as kids not worrying about taxes and bills and such.
