Happy New Week all.
Back from busy day; friend's 'celebration' of her husband's life was lovely - she's a whizz with cameras, videos, etc, etc., and compiled a lovely video program that captured his life, interests, family, etc.. Lots of people turned out for a much-loved person. Two other friends and I were in charge of the lunch for the family after a memorial rock (from the part of the Sierras where he hiked every year for 70 straight years!!) was placed in the church's garden. The church group took over the post-service reception food. I'm not only tired but stuffed to the gills!
Lindybird: Interesting that our camellias are out tool love the daffs though - that's Springtime!
Hope all who have/are getting colds, etc., recover quickly.
Have a good Sunday!
Parts of our garden under water - but we dont have a wet garden usually!
Its stopped raining now, thank goodness.
Hope OG and EE haven't got the snow...
Morning all:
Heather: Your husband was smart to make sure you were in on the finances. I've told this before - but when I worked for the American Association of Retired Persons (in those more traditional days when men took care of most of that stuff), we were always reminding readers that women really need to know the family financial situation and understand what needs to be done in the event of a death. The other smart advice to readers: Make friends of all ages throughout your life (so you aren't the last one in your generation left standing!). Cheery - but true. Enjoy the trip to pick up the new car.
Lindybird: Hope your OH is doing better and that your 'water feature' won't expand.
AQ: Do you have a industrial strength shredder handy for all those paper? I'm hoping that when the house is painted and we have to empty and move OH's bookcases that he'll take the time to cull some of the books for the library, etc..
Diane: I tend to follow my Mom's advice: Believe nothing of what you hear and only 50% of what you see.
Take care all
Rain Rain Rain in Suffolk. The the girls got out on Saturday am but Luna had had a bad night on Friday which made her grumpy .Coughing and keeping her and my Daughter awake. Her sister Seraphina wisely came into my bed and she was the perfect hot water bottle Spent the afternoon doing arts and crafts and thankfully Luna slept thru the night on Saturday.
Sunday am was relaxed but we got out to the beach in the morning just as high tide appeared and the waves were huge. Seraphina was reckless and I had to rush to make a few rescues or she would have had wet shoes. Just as we were leaving the heavens opened and my Daughter heroically ran to get the car while we stayed in the dry.
I am off to Crystal Palace to see the new addition on Saturday -she is still the baby with no name but very beautiful.
We seem to have rain and wind for days to come so all those in the same boat or with snow - keep safe
