ANOTHER MONDAY

Well, here we are on another Monday. I hope you all had a blessed and peaceful Sunday. Ours was nice. A nice big dinner early yesterday afternoon and then last night THE AMAZING RACE started up again. At least I'll have something to watch on Sunday nights now, since series three of CALL THE MIDWIFE... Sign in to see full entry.

STEPPING IN

Some people infuriate me no end. And some more than others. I may not always witness the things that infuriate me, but they do nonetheless. Sometimes it infuriates me even more just hearing about the cruel, idiotic things people do. And what infuriates me even more than this is the fact that they... Sign in to see full entry.

HOLLOW

My best friend had to bury her oldest brother today. Their parents had to bury their oldest child...their son. He was only a year older than me. Just two years older than Becky. If the world makes little sense to me tonight, I can only imagine that it makes far less sense to them. His two incredibly... Sign in to see full entry.

DISTRACTED

It's such a beautiful day outside. It's still quite chilly outside, but at least the sun is shining today. One of my little squirrels just scampered happily across the back yard. I wonder where it's off to? It is a beautiful day outside, but...I don't want to do anything today. I don't even really... Sign in to see full entry.

IN THEIR TIME OF NEED

I just finished writing out the cards for Becky and her family. I also learned that there is going to be a benefit to raise money for the family, most especially Richie's children, Joey and Hannah. The money won't ever take the place of having Richie with them again, but I hope it provides them with... Sign in to see full entry.

REMEMBER RICHIE

Becky posted a link to Richie's obituary on facebook this morning. What a moving, loving tribute to the person he was. I just read it and I'm crying. I'll always remember Richie for being a kind, loving, generous and compassionate man. Richie died doing what he loved most of all. He was actually... Sign in to see full entry.

A BLANK SPACE

That's what my mind has been all day today. Nothing but an enormous blank space. I've tried to write, but can't. Nothing will lend itself to my mind. Perhaps I'll go in a few minutes and have a look over some of my old writings. Sometimes that does the trick in getting the juices flowing again. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

CALLING LONDON

Happy birthday, Juliet! I wish I could be in London to be with you today to celebrate! I'd take you out for a nice veggie pizza and we could laugh ourselves silly again just like when you went to the pub with me here! I wish you your happiest birthday yet! May all your dreams and desires be realised... Sign in to see full entry.

TEARS FOR PETER

I'm so sad. I'm sitting here waiting to cry again, but for the moment, I can't. I will eventually, I know, but not yet. I can't even shout or scream. Hearing of Richie's sudden death-about which I need to make a correction, he left us on Saturday, not yesterday-only reminds me of how unfair it is... Sign in to see full entry.

IN SHOCK

My dear friends... I am so sad. I'm in shock. I need to ask for urgent prayers for Becky, her parents Rick and Donna, and her younger brother, Daniel. I was just on facebook and... Becky's older brother, Richie, passed away very suddenly sometime yesterday. Whether his death was related to his... Sign in to see full entry.

MONDAY AGAIN?

Happy second day of Fall, my friends... I hope you all had a very blessed and peaceful Sunday. It's chilly here today, but not so bad that the windows can't be open for a while. One of my little trees is swaying back and forth in the wind. Poor thing! It looks as though it may topple over! At the... Sign in to see full entry.

TIME'S RUNNING OUT! SHOP 'TIL I DROP!

It's now less than a month until Mum's birthday, and a little over until Margaret's. I can't believe they're so close! It's time to get off my duff and start shopping 'til I drop! Now, if y'all think I'm kidding, let me assure you, I'm not! Hehe! Not to fret, dear ones. I won't actually drop. After... Sign in to see full entry.

A NEW LOOK, AN OLD FRIEND

Hi everyone... I hope you're all having a peaceful and pleasant Saturday. Can you all believe it's the last official day of summer? Where did the time go? Here where I am, signs of Fall are definitely in the air! It may well be the last day of summer, but it is chilly outside! The sun did manage a... Sign in to see full entry.

CREATIVITY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS...LITERALLY!

I'm so excited! I got the coolest thing in my email yesterday from one of my online crafting shop. Once every month or so, they send their customers yarn newsletters. The letters let you know about new yarns that are available, different projects that you can purchase, new books, and so forth. They... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE PRAYERS NEED FOR BRUCE

Hi everyone... If I may, I'd like to ask for your continued prayers for my friend Bruce. He was re-admitted to hospital late Monday with more chest pains. He's resting at home again now, but may need more meds or med changes. Thank you all and God bless. Sign in to see full entry.

STILL STUFFED AND FEELING FABULOUS!

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a fabulous Saturday! We had a beautiful day here. No rain at all today! I was hoping it wouldn't. We've had so much over the past two or three days I was beginning to wonder whether I should start building an ark! I'm so glad the weather was kind to us today and... Sign in to see full entry.
