Sandie's thoughts

Hi all and thank you thank you thank you to Colleen for setting up this blogspace, hope to see you all here! Below is a copy of my original email to jog some thoughts and I will post another entry with some of the comments to date!

Time has certainly flown passed quickly since our last get togethers, both at the Bunya Mountains about over 6 years ago, and the afternoon at Colleen and Andy's over 2 years ago. Many comments on what great times they were and whilst we always say let's not leave it so long again, the days creep on by into years. In the meantime a few of us have kept floating around some ideas through emails and would like to see if we can get something happening. Here are the thoughts to date!

Please pass on to other family members I do not have email addies for, especially great grandchildren.

Option 1.

* The Bunya's was such a great weekend, staying in the same place with time to catch up with everyone, plus the visits to the farm and local places of interests. Such a beautiful place, even in the middle of summer. We've done it once with success, why not again! Might need to do it in school holidays to enable travel, or keep with the Xmas -> New Year break, need to check what accommodation is available etc as well. So Boxing Day and the day after, or New Year's weekend, or Easter preferences?

Option 2.

* The afternoon at Colleen and Andy's was wonderful, everyone brought food and people could call in as they wanted. The number of people that came made us think that maybe a park area or the like might be better, save people's houses! Or maybe someone is willing to volunteer their place?? This time aiming to have it in Toowoomba for a change, plus to share around the travel, (Cairns is next... kidding!!!) If people want to stay for longer over a weekend or the like they can do so and catch up with more people. Suggestions included the Japanese or scented gardens, sorry not good on the names but will find out when needed. This option allows people to attend just for an arvo or for the weekend, whatever they choose. Again have to sort out dates, but am assuming either option will have the same time/date preferences.

Option 3.

* Your suggestion!!! Pass it on!!!


So that's for it for now! Ponder and pass on your ideas.

Look forward to hearing from anyone!

Love, hugs and honeyjumbles!
