Go West Old Folks
Well it seems that eventually things may turn them selves around with the Wall street markets. Dividends will be paid this year in Australia according to my financial type son. I can't remember what I'm doing tomorrow so no point worrying about next year! And any way we're going Ta-tahs on Saturday...

I'm busy and watching history unfold
Sorry I have been away for a couple of days. I have been sending out more copies of Tom Ugly in the hope someone somewhere picks it up some day. Every time I look at it it needs a bit of work another rewrite so that's where I've been. Now today are we watching history in the making. Are we going to...

wiley is always rescuing me it seems
I hate files and tax and paper work and anything that feels remotely like book work. My new lawyer needs document as of proof for certain sums of money and that I am telling the truth with what I have declared. My son in Australia has most things but some are here with me, which meant a scratch...

Nervous tonight
Last night just before shutting down my computer for the night, I took a last look at my email address. With the time difference not to mention the day ahead thing, I can receive mail at the oddest times. This was one of them. Email from my lawyer. Why is it whenever I see the lawyers name my heart...

Sarah's biggest tragedy
Well that's how her granddaughter sees it anyway. I have no connection with her first husband Mr. Mills except through my Uncle and cousins whom I never need see or deal with again. Before my Daddy turned twelve, his Daddy died of pernicious anaemia. Her was ill for a short six weeks and back in the...

Naughty Nans

No Sarah story tonight It's the Sabbath
Actually I have just been to my first hockey match ever tonight and then to Tim Hortons for coffee. No donut or cookie because of the diet, just coffee. The game was really great and the local team won and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the speed of the game. We play field hockey in Australia...

Changes just kept on coming in the new century
The last baby was born in 1911 and Life continued on the farm for Sarah. Susan died which brought with it grief tempered with relief. Three generations under the one roof have always brought their own joys and difficulties. The two eldest boys, both being the same age, left school when they were 14...
