Christy's couch

Okay, I'm going to try and write this post again. I tried writing it earlier, but I had a spasm in my right hand and poof! I accidently hit the backspace button and away it went! Tricia came by to have breakfast and coffee with us this morning and stayed until about 1:15. I just went to a little... Sign in to see full entry.

THE CLOUDS ARE CRYING The clouds are crying today I wonder why? For the joy of a new birth The sorrow of a loss Some dark and painful secret That can’t yet be told My trees stand solemn Against the droplets Falling from the clouds Washed in tears I can’t explain The clouds are crying today I just...

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a wonderful Labour Day holiday. I am so sorry I couldn't get back here yesterday to write the way I wanted to. I just didn't feel well enough. I still don't feel well today. My ankle is swollen and hurting again. But hey, at least I can sit here and write about it!... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Labour Day my friends! I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday. I also hope that we take some time to remember those who are serving abroad to protect our lives and our freedoms. My prayers are with them and their families today. I didn't feel well enough to write anything yesterday. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I must admit I'm feeling a bit sad today. Not overly so, just a bit sad. The reason is that recently I've been thinking of two of our dear blogging friends who are no longer here. I love my beautiful little trees. But for the last day or so whenever I look at them, I think of our dear Offy and how... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend so far! It's another gorgeous day here today. It's warm, too! It was cold all night last night and for most of the morning but that's burned off now thank goodness. According to weather reports, the good weather will continue straight...

It's so beautiful outside! Not at all chilly like it was yesterday. My little trees are looking as lovely and peaceful as ever. They look so proud standing there, like their gaurding the world's best kept secret! I can't believe Monday is Labour Day already! We wanted to go to the movies, but I'm...

Oh, no...It's happening faster than I thought it would. I've done so well the last few days, apart from the wound constantly throbbing. But now it seems my good fortune has run out. My feet and knees are throbbing away at me and now the Gestapo has returned as well. They, of course, are worse than... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, lets try this one again. I tried to post this earlier, but for some odd ball reason I lost control of my mouse. Literally! I can't believe it's 1 September already! The summer has just flown by and so has this year. Where did the time go? The children here go back to school next Tuesday. I got... Sign in to see full entry.

Ho-hum. Tricia just left us for home a few minutes ago. It's not that Margaret and I don't enjoy our time alone together. We certainly do! But it takes us some time to get used to being on our own again because the house gets so quiet! She'll be back on Sunday and the fun and craziness will start... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Margaret and Tricia have gone out for about an hour or so, so I have some time to myself. I'm rather grateful actually because I'm in a bit of a mood. Never mind that. I can see my beautiful little tree from the window. It looks so bright and cheerful that I can't help but smile to... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sure I'll get mixed comments for this post. I'm fully prepared for that, and I want each and every one of you to know that I respect your feelings and opinions. Likewise, I would ask the same of you all. Margaret sponsors a young man from the Dominican Republic. Sadly, the time of her... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Praise be to the Father this morning. We all made it through Irene unscathed. We're all(especially me) feeling very fortunate this morning. There was rain, strong winds, but we expected this. We were without electricity for about four hours, but it wasn't too bad since we had each... Sign in to see full entry.

I keep looking out the window at my little tree. I want to keep pleasant visions before my eyes in case tomorrow is bad. According to the weather report we heard earlier, it seems that now the brunt of the storm isn't supposed to move in until tomorrow evening. Winds, though, are supposed to reach...

We're getting Aaron ready for bed and we'll be off ourselves soon, so I want to wish you all a good night and the most pleasant of dreams my friends! Our story time will continue tomorrow. Good night! Sign in to see full entry.

Tricia and Aaron have just arrived. I think we'll probably have to start dinner soon because Aaron is probably getting hungry. I will be back soon. Sign in to see full entry.

After two hours out of the house, they finally make their way home. While they were playing in the park, Kate ran into one of the neighbours, Cassie Pollock. Cassie herself mentioned the fact that no one had seen him about. “Maybe I ought to ring the police when I get home,” Kate suggested. “Just to... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend. We here are expecting some of the remnants of Irene, though no one can say with any certainty yet just how rough things will get. I'm praying it won't be as rough as the weather forecasters are predicting at the moment. Still, we'll... Sign in to see full entry.

I posted the beginning of this story a couple of days ago, but I'll re-post it now just in case some of you missed it. THE HOUSE OF LIONS There had been a strange sound coming from the house all morning long. Everyone, in all the houses along the road had heard it, but couldn’t be bothered to find...
