INTO THE FOG

Hi everyone... I hope you've all had a pleasant Saturday. I meant to write earlier today, but we had company all day-and still do-starting with Roommie's niece. Our friend is now here trying to repair our washing machine. It's okay though, I can write and chat him up at the same time... Becky rang... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS THE POLISH WORD FOR JOY??!

My goodness! My day just got TONS better. I was on facebook again a little while ago looking to see if perhaps I might find I might find my friend Dave from London. Sadly, I did not find him, but... I decided to see if my old friend Kamilla, who was from Poland, might have a contact page there. I've... Sign in to see full entry.

SLOW MOTION

Hi everyone... I meant to write more last night, but ended up not having the energy. I had a terrible headache all day yesterday, and couldn't do much of anything. I hate days like that. I'm not really sure how much I'll be here today. I would like to do some writing, but I have some other things to... Sign in to see full entry.

THE JOURNEY IS OVER

I went to bed last night and had a dream...it was only a dream, I thought...I prayed. Please continue your thoughts and prayers for Becky and Walter and their respective families. Lilian DeBeau passed away earlier today, surrounded by her husband, son and daughter-in-law. She left this world as she... Sign in to see full entry.

OLD LETTERS FROM A DEAR FRIEND

A lot of people think I'm odd because I keep most of the letters and cards and such that I receive from friends and loved ones. Why do I keep them? Who knows? A lot of those letters came from friends who live abroad, some of whom I've sadly lost contact with. I'm thankful that I was able to hold on... Sign in to see full entry.

A VOICE FROM HOLLAND

HOORAY! I've just popped on to facebook, and an old friend from Holland is online there! I haven't spoken to or emailed her for ages, so it's a joy to have found her again. She's always been lovely to me and I miss her terribly. She only worked here in Maine for two years, and taught me what little... Sign in to see full entry.

THE THOUGHTFULNESS OF BLOGGERS

Yesterday in the post, I received a lovely card from a certain pair of bloggers. (They know who they are) I thought it was just a letter to say hello, how are you? but it was much more than that, even if they didn't know it. The card wished me luck on a venture I'll soon be undertaking. Since no one... Sign in to see full entry.

STRETCHING THIN

I've just done a bit more of the stretching therapy Marti gave me last summer. It feels good, and I think it's helping the knees some, which is what it's supposed to do. Yay! I've been doing them not only to help strengthen my knees, but also the stomach mucels, which are badly out of shape I'm sad... Sign in to see full entry.

BACK FROM AFRICA

Well, here I am. Back as promised. Though it took me much longer than I expected. Oh, well...it IS fun! The object of the game is to create differnt animal eco-systems. In particular, zebra herds, lion prides, wildebeest herds, flamingo flocks, baboon troops, vulture flocks, spring hare groups, and... Sign in to see full entry.

BRAIN FOG

Hi everyone I meant to write here much earlier, but today was shower day for me and then Mum came over for coffee with us before she goes to New York for four days to visit my sister on Thursday morning. I'm sitting here with a fog in my brain. I can't think of anything exciting to write. Think... Sign in to see full entry.

MY ROTTERDAM DREAM CONTINUED

Here you go, Grandmummy kabu...more from my dream visit to Rotterdam... 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,... Sign in to see full entry.

A JOURNEY ALMOST COMPLETED

Please keep praying for Becky and Walter and his parents. I've just gotten word from Becky that Lilian's doctor told her today that it's only a matter of time-a day to only a few days-before her journey is completed. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers during this terribly difficult... Sign in to see full entry.

SNAP, CRACKLE...POP!

I'm so pleased that I was able to use my peddler excersicer this morning, even if it was only for fifteen minutes. I'll do another fifteen tonight. Twice a day for now, because I haven't really properly excersiced in well over a year now. Mum rang me last night, and we got on to the subject of... Sign in to see full entry.

JANUARY THAW

We're having some really odd weather today. There's still a lot of snow on the ground, but its been raining since last night, and it's about 48 to 50 degrees today. Roommie and I got so overheated that we had to turn the heat down to 60! If only the snow would vanish for another year! Sign in to see full entry.

WHEN WE BLESS ONE ANOTHER

I want to thank my dear, darling Grandmummy Kabu and our wonderful wiley one for the love, kindness, and encouragement they give me every day, whether we get to talk to each other or not. When I first met John, he'd posted about the loss of his first wife, and his recovery process from alcoholism. I... Sign in to see full entry.

NO, NO, NO! I'M NOT LEAVING!

Oh, dear! I think I've seriously confused and upset some of you with my last post. That was not my intention, and I now offer my sincere apologies if this is the case. I'm not leaving blogit again. I'm only going to delete the posts thus far from Lena's story, because I realised that I've made a... Sign in to see full entry.

ABSENT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Now, before you all start worrying, I'm not going on a walk about from blogit. But I have decided to delete all of Lena's posts. The reason being is that I have taken the whole thing in the wrong direction. Don't worry, Ben's and Nikolai's stories will remain. And Lena will be posted again soon. Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE?

I love Mum. There are many reasons I love her, not the least of which is the fact that she gave me life-and so did you, Dad-but last night just made me love her even more. She called me and while we were talking, she asked do I know where our local chapter of the Red Cross is located. I told her I... Sign in to see full entry.
