Yes, Flutters. Population about 8,000 and still very much country. Like, everyone knows everyone else's business and is also related to everyone else, lol

Sounds lovely one day we would like to more further out but for now we are here...The open spaces are just fantastic....

evening all, Lew, thankyou for the lovely moon photo, if i had a camera i would take a shot of it over the sea. haven't got a lot to write, been out all day but not doing anything interesting. Doing Fh last night wore me out. Does any body else find it draining? Enjoy your holiday Laurie. Trifley, bet your stuffing's almost been squeezed out with all the hugs (((hug))). Your photos are fab. Tony. Youngest male child and I are going campping tomorrow for some time out. hope the rain stays away. Love to everybody from Yvette x

Hi Yvette where abouts are you going camping? when mine were young I used to take them to the Stinson Memorial park near Rathdowny luv Jillx

were going to Coolendel, which is up the Shoalhaven river from Nowra. its nice and quiet. I had a look at the location of Rathdowny. It would be pretty cold there at this time of year too, hey? I try and go places that don't take forever to get to. 2 hours is the max I like to drive - anywhere. Theres only the 2 of us going, no other takers love Yvette

Evening Wattlers Well I havent got much news from when I was on here earlier. However I did get a message from Honey Rum about the birthday thread and she asked me to let you know that things have been a bit hectic and she hasnt forgotten anyone, and will reply to you when she can, also she wanted me to pass on her thanks to all the Wattlers for their messages she has received. Cheers Sue

oooOOOoooOOOhhhhh - full moon - crazies around!!!! Lovely pic Lew, and such a yellow golden moon, too. Trifley, healing thoughts coming your way. Tassie - I asked HR for the photo address, its gc photos / next generation. .. I can get to gc - but dont know where next generation is - can you help??? Tony, I thought that Waffling Wattlers Web site address was pretty good too! Jood

Just popped in for a minute to give you address for pice... http://groups(.)msn(.)com/GCPhotos-thenextgeneration/ remove brackets and remember... the poledance was my twin!!!! Anne xxx

have been looking at the photo pages, they're great

Evening Wafflers I've discovered a wonderful remedy for sore boobs.....tee many martoonies...I mean martini's.....lol Having an early night so I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed to go to Tamborine tomorrow. See you when I get back. Thanks for all your support. love Trifley X

Evening Wafflers Laurie, hope you are okay and have a good trip. Nothing like a change to take your mind off any sore bits. Go and really bend the plastic - maybe some new shoes. hehe Vonney - glad to see you arrived home in one piece. Did your luggage arrive with you? Last time I travelled from USA, I missed connecting flight home (storms), one piece of luggage made the plane I didn't, and 1 piece went to Melbin. At least I ended up in Brissy. Gwenda, did you and dd make the bus this morning. Wilson enjoy your cuddles. Shaz, hope you were typing real fast before g/son wore his lungs out. Jill, hope your little fellow is okay. Deviley, have the antibiotics kicked in yet? Once they do, you will feel much better, I'm sure. Oh Queen Trifle, everything's crossed. Will give you a special hug on Thursday. Mary keep plodding away and before you know it, you will be ready to move. Keep packing girl, but don't over do it. Take at least a 15 minute break every hour. Wattle Union rules. Yea Jarra, I'd panic too. Panic if I don't hear from my little girl (living in the USA) every week. At least if she is going away for the weekend, she lets me know so that she doesn't have a manic mother trying to find her (I think she is worried I'll have the US police force out looking for her - what an embarrassment). Tony, think you have already had a tablet of two before you resent the lotto dates. Go LIONS (Yea, I know, they need lots of GO at the moment). Please no, please not the 303. lol. Lew, I'm too old and really tough to dine succulently on. (maybe this will save me). Fanny enjoy you camp. We used to take the kids camping for Easter and the school holidays at Lennox Heads, NSW - just bewdiful - on the beach and beside the lake. 6 families used to go every year and we had a ball. Long weekends, we'd go with the same group to Binna Burra, O'Reillys and other places in the surrounding areas. If it rains just send it up here to Bris, we really need it. Came over all rainy looking today, but nothing on the forecast. Bu**er !!! Have a few more, Trifley (martinis that is). How ya going Joodles? I have been waffling on for so long now, probably most of this is old hat. The moon is not as big and gold in colour tonight as it was this morning at 6 am when I tookd son to work. Beautiful along the waterfront with the moon just shimmering on the water. MAGIC Hi to all that I haven't said hello too including a certain puddy tat Pam

Trifley have a great time at Tambourine... Lots of nice retail therapy there I was told.. Sus it out for us..for future reference... Lew and Laurie Our two moon children.. lovely picks..lew I think you are in for a frost in the morning.. Honny Rum Ann. Had a look at the meet picks,, looks like a good time was had by all..Pole dancer and all...LOL Well I am off to bed ready for another day tomorrow packing... Love Maryxxxxx

well dun ducky wucky you got everyone howd u do that, no seriously I try and remember all bits of everyones postings and unless i write thing down I always miss someone and I never mean to because we are so important to each other, well I think we are, luv Jillx

Hello there folks. Vicki Reedy here. Laurie told me to drop in and say HI. So Hi. I have been contacted by quite a few distant cousins via GR and think is it wonderful. Laurie tells me that this is a wonderful little group and I hope that you will let me join in. I have been researching my various tree branches for about 4 years or so and have been a member of GR for about 2. I spread myself a little thin at times and must admit that I probably haven't used the site to its full potential. That is about to change. I live in Toowoomba Queensland with my husband and 3 grown sons. I am addicted to genealogy.

Greetings Vicki. I have a Vicki Irene Reedy (nee Bates) in my tree born 8/11/1959 in Adelaide. Can I presume that this is not you? You'll love the Wattlers. They're just a bunch of normal, boring type people who spend too much time on the net. Just your average Joes! Lew Lew xxx

Hi Vicky, I'm laughing so much at what lew said I can hardly type, he he he , hello and welcome Mt Tamborine eh! what are you doing on thursday? how about meeting up at Jupitors at 11.30 with a lot of strangers, I'm going, maybe see you there, and I can be strange at times, Jixx

Hi Jill Will tell you my secret Thursday. It is simple really, if I can do it so can any one. Hi Vicky, I am the normal sane one here in this group. Lots of others will try and tell you the same but a word of warning - Dr Lew, ohhhhh be so careful of her. She will be dishing out all sorts of medication to you. Funny coloured little pills. I have been with GR since last Nov and have only been doing research for about 12 months. Joined this mad mob just recently. They have corrupted me totally. If you want to travel down to Jupiters Casino on Thurs and meet up with some of us, we would love to welcome you. Enjoy the waffling wattlers Pam

off to bed, trying to get there a bit earlier tonight. i dunno how they do it jill, i can't write it down either as my pen always walks off. Sometimes i get carried away and waffle tooooo much and then feel a bit silly. Pam, your welcome to the rain, oh reckons if we ever need rain all i've got to do is look at the tent. it has the ability to break a drought. Hi Vicki. Suzi, i'll write when i get back, Lyn, thanks for the lovely mail and everybody for the friendship sweet dreams to you all from Yvette x

Yvette, That is probably what I need to do. Get the tent out again. Haven't used it in years. Huge new 'Great Outdoors' tent, just going to waste. Don't know if Brissy can handle another 1974 flood - that's what usually happens when we go camping. Night Pam

Lew. Have pm'd you. Hope you have Micro soft Excell spreadsheet. Hi Vicki....:>))) I'm Tony...the Wattle mascot. Welcome to the Wandering Waffling Wattles.I live darn sarf in Malbin, Vic. Been chasing my Ancestors fer 35 years now, but some one told me there all dead. 5 daughters and 3and a half grandkids. Apart from that......I'm the sainest person on this thread. Tony Oz...:>)))
