Possession
Mary stood at the side gate of her Nan's lovely old home. An Australian bungalow with wide windows and a verandah around three sides. The sounds of happy chatter and the squeals of the children emanating from the pool made her hesitate. Had she forfeited he right to be pat of the gathering when she...

Independence
Mary sat on the swing rocking it backwards and forwards, one leg dragging her new brown shoe across the ground to keep it from swinging high. One desultory hand clasped the chain side the other she held to her mouth while sucking she baby sucked her thumb. "Some holiday,'"she thought. " Mark is away...

Little Aussie hen has her feathers ruffled
If you ever watch a mother hen or duck, they really do fuss over their charges. Well Wiley has taken himself off for some "me" time and has gone to have a hair cut. I am so glad for him but I nearly bit a hole in my arm to stop myself from saying I would go with him. It's very difficult to let go...

At last ...Normal!
What, Wiley and Kabu Normal?????? Never I can hear you screaming with a mixture of laughter and tears. Never, never normal; but Wiley's temperature was tonight when I took it. He's been damp all day, not sort of fever sweating but just as though he was washing out the infection. So after a day of...

Off to the hospital early thismorning but the news is better
Wiley had another rotten night and early this morning we drove to the hospital. No waiting at that time. t was so lucky. He was seen straight away and this time a really good Dr. I had had enough of everything and so I told her the history in detail. Poor Wiley was having trouble talking, fever and...

Wiley says Hi and thank you as the see-saw ride continues.
or is it the big dipper at the fair ground. I can almost hear the music and see the somewhat sinister clown laughing as we scream. Poor Wiley, he's still pretty sick and as always, worse in the evening compared to the mornings. He's still spiking a temperature and between the spiking it won't hit...

Our poor love is sick
He's fighting a really nasty UTI. not surprising but very debilitating. He alternates between those awful cold shivers to burning hot to pouring out the sweat. Then it starts all over again. I stole....yes stole some reagent strips from the hospital so I can keep my eye on his progress. Dipped in...

Wiley not so well today I'm afraid
We were up early and off to meet the Dr. at the hospital to take out this wretched Catheter. All went well except we had to be there for hours while we waited to see how the water works would function on their own workings. All seemed well so we came home. The he started to feel very ill and their...

Feeling very positive about life
Today was such a happy day for me. The arm has kept me quiet but as it rained for most of the day, the gardening was on "hold" anyway. It's my "bad" arm of course that I hurt trying to disappear down a chipmunk hole, and so I have to be very careful I don't end up with lymphoedema. Sigh! Life is...

A man of many talents
How shall I list them for there are too many to count. This man who can turn his hand to almost anything he sets his mind to. He writes, first articles for magazines then a book. A book so heart-rending and honest I had to read it four times before I could put it down. He taught me so much about a...
