Subject: Just catching up

Been a bit busy over the last week or so and haven't had a lot of time on here. We are trying to help our son get all the paperwork organised for going overseas, passport, work Visa, resume for the nursing agency that will help with finding a job. Doesn't help that most of the paperwork required (Birth Certificates etc) is here at home with us and not with Leigh. Anyway, we are getting there but I must admit I wish I wasn't helping him go away (lol).
The weather has been lovely for the last few days (low 20's) and have got up to date with the fruit picking. The late navels are not wanted by the packing house until 28th July, so there's a bit of a breather now. I heard the other day that the first shipment of oranges arrived in San Diego, USA last week.
Rob brought me home a lovely surprise from Adelaide last week. He bought me a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird. I had mentioned a few old classics that I wanted copies of and he found it on special. I was so pleased. I can't believe that Rob has never seen this movie until now.
Well that's all for now, hope everyone is okay.

Oh.Susan, we'll have to commiserate with each other while our boys are away. I've been through it before (having 4 children it gets spread around a bit!) Simon first went to canada when he was 22, he's been overseas again 3 times since then, Canada again and Europe. Second son Darren has been to Europe twice, daughter Pam to Canada.. tho not for really long periods, 3-6 weeks..Peter's 12 month stay will be the longest.. I know you will miss Leigh badly, but you have to let them 'fly' whatever the feelings in your heart.
Glad you got To Kill a Mocking Bird, I've read the book, also seen the movie.
Ellie.

Gee, your kids have really travelled. Yes, I have been totally supportive of Leigh's wish to travel. Being an only child it will be hard, but I keep thinking how wonderful it will be for him, personally and professionally. He has matured so much since starting work in March and is a lot more organised than he was at Uni so I think he will be fine. He has actually been offered a permanent position at the hospital he is at and they have also ask if he would like to do his Graduate (I think that's the term) in Emergency. He has told them of his wish to travel overseas and they asked him to contact them when he returns. They also stated that working overseas will put him in good stead for any future position he applies for in Australia.

Glad the oranges are on their way- it's been very mild, maybe it'll rain again!?
