MarieBrewer 1 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Good for you for moving nearer to the kids. Mine just moved to FL this month. Am still having a hard time without them but I know it was a good move for them. I'll just have to get on "de plane" and go see them.

Dustee 5 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 I am so happy for you! I know what it is like being away from your kids and grandkids. All of mine live out of town. I am fortunate in a way that most of them are 3 to 4 hour drive so I do get to see them. Not often enough. We have 5 grown kids with grandkids and then we have our 5 adopted little guys that are all in football and band. With practices and games it is hard for us to get away. I am glad you are all moved and getting settled in. I look forward to you posting soon. Good luck!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustSewSimple 596 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Now, it is your duty to work on that Southern Accent.

IBQLTN2 291 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Yay! Linda So where did you settle, is the appt. temporary until you find the house you want or did you decide to rent now? I can't wait to meet you, hopefully you will join the quilters of sc and a local guild and we will be able to get together at the meetings and retreats twice a year. I know it has been a long awaited move for you and I am so happy that it has come about for you. :D welcome to SC Quote New Lenni Mom http://www.jeannepedersen.blogspot.com http://community.webshots.com/user/IBQLTN2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lindasewsit 111 Report post Posted August 31, 2012 Jeanne (IBQLTN2), We are renting an appt in Lake Wylie right now.. hopefully, we will find a house within a couple of months...then we get to move again!! :o:o I hope to get to meet you too! I have been to Mary Jo's before. My daughter took me there when we visited one time... bless her heart, cause she does not like to sew...so, it was certainly a love trip for her!!
