BACK TO SWEDEN

Note: This is the next instalment of my dream travels. There is no bicycle ride involved here, and it’s also a bit of a dark mystery. We’ll see if you’re able to figure out the mystery by the conclusion. Enjoy! SWEDEN Jarlsberg, Sweden. Named after a count born in France, transplanted to Norway, and... Sign in to see full entry.

STEPPING OUT

Hi gang... I meant to post this afternoon, after my shower, but Roommie and I decided to go out for a late lunch/dinner at about two o'clock. Didn't do too much, just went to FRIENDLY'S for dinner and to share a dessert. The food was good, as always. Roommie decided on the ultimate bacon... Sign in to see full entry.

A FORGOTTEN STORY

THE MIRACLE OF THE LIGHTS The first night of Hanukkah, 1941 Somewhere in the Polish countryside It’s dark now, and bone chilling cold. She has walked for miles…countless miles, the journey beginning yesterday morning. She has no gloves or mittens to cover the thin hands, and only a thin black silk... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE SADNESS

Dear God, Help those of us who will suffer their losses. I still can't fathom that P will have to be without her sister, and I know You alone can ease her aching heart. Please do this, Lord, so she will know she is not alone. And there is more heartbreaking news. I've just spoken to my cousin, and... Sign in to see full entry.

STILL HERE

Hi everyone... No, I haven't left blogit. I just couldn't write anything for the past couple of days. I had to let Mum know about R yesterday morning, which was hard. Mum was the one who informed me of her illness last summer. Mum asked me when her funeral would be, but I have no idea. I assume that... Sign in to see full entry.

NO COMPANY AFTER ALL...THANK YOU, GOD

It turns out, Belle and the kids aren't coming after all. It has nothing to do with the fact that we said no to taking on S's baby, S just decided that since Belle is currently of no use to her-apparently, she's found someone else's bum to shove herself up, as the saying goes-she doesn't want to...

DAY OF SADNESS

Hi gang... Sorry I haven't been here sooner today, but we looked after Luann's children for about an hour and a half this morning so she could go to an appointment, and she just picked them up a few minutes ago. I have some sad news regarding Jazzy, Becky and Walter's cat. Becky informed me... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT NO MEANS NO?

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a very happy Valentine's Day. It passed quietly for us, which was just fine because neither of us cares for the holiday anyway. We had Chinese and watched a couple of the old CHARLIE BROWN VALENTINE'S DVD's, but that was about all. At the moment, neither of us is... Sign in to see full entry.

FRIGID SATURDAY NIGHT

Hi everyone... I hope you've all had an enjoyable Saturday. We slept in late again, and didn't wake until Belle rang us at about 9:30. She thought I was cross with her when I answered the phone, but I was still sleepy. Took a shower after I worked out this afternoon. Will work out again in a bit.... Sign in to see full entry.

A DILEMMA

I have a serious problem. My friend Jim, in Scotland, asked me a couple of months ago when we found each other on facebook if I had my ex's address and phone number. I told him that I don't have ex's new address-he'd moved just before I stopped speaking to him altogether-but that I thought I... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF CHILLY WEATHER

Last night, I decided to take up my knitting needles again. I've managed the casting stitches only so far, but last night I think I nearly made my first actual knit stitch! So tonight, I'll have another go. Grammy is coming back to visit us in March, and I know she'll be pleased that I've tried... Sign in to see full entry.

According to news from Luann's husband Joe, Margaret was up and walking around today. Whether the proceedure will work indefinetly, we don't yet know. But this... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE PRAYERS NEEDED

Hi everyone... When I was here earlier, I forgot to mention that prayers are also needed for our friend and former neighbour, Luann and her family. About a week and a half ago, Luann's mum, Margaret, was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung. It was reinflated, and she was released a couple of... Sign in to see full entry.

UNWELL

Hi gang... Sorry I haven't been here to post sooner, but its been a really bad day, and it's just gotten a whole hell of a lot worse. At about two o'clock this morning, I woke up with the most excruciating pain the Gestapo has ever dished out to me. I felt as if my entire back and ribcage was being... Sign in to see full entry.

ANOTHER MONDAY ALREADY?

Good morning gang... I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I can't believe it's already Monday! Where did the weekend go? Too quickly, and it's gone! I've got some letter writing and craft work planned for today, along with one or two workouts. In the interest of paying a bit more on the cable... Sign in to see full entry.

MY ROTTERDAM COMES TO AN END

Here it is...the end of my beautiful Rotterdam dream... Note: Just for a change from my usual writing, I thought I’d write a description of some of the places I’ve seen in my dreams. I’ll start off by writing about my visit to Rotterdam, Holland. ROTTERDAM The moment I arrived here, I knew I had... Sign in to see full entry.

LAZY, FROZEN SUNDAY!

I'll have to apologise for this being my first entry of the day. I needed a shower today, and it being Sunday, we try to leave the laptop turned off for as long as possible. Roommie needs her television programmes for tonight checked, and I need to check on something in my ebay watch pile. To my... Sign in to see full entry.
