Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Freddie,

I completely forgot to say that I read your posts when you were looking after your Princess and they warmed my heart to see the care and love you gave her.  A wonderful opportunity to repay that which they gave us throughout our lives and I know you felt that also.

So many occupants of those homes never felt that love or care - having been dumped there for convenience on many occasions - and the body language of some rellies who visited spoke so clearly of their desire not to be there and that they were just visiting out of obligation.

Weren't we so very lucky to have chosen our Mothers so well

Just heart breaking to see the footage from residents families -

I wanted to put a camera in my Mums room after her lockable

draw had been jemmied open - I was told it was illegal to have

a camera in residents rooms - I wish I had taken that directive

further - The good think was Mum was still as sharp as me and

knew what was going on. I caught a little of the Joanna Lumley

doco some amazing scenery - I love her speaking voice

We were Laney exactly - My dear old Dad never wanted to go

into care - he passed as a fit 81yr old - I often tormented him

asking him how he was going to get up and down the stairs

in their home when he was unable to get about - he told me

he would make a bed downstairs and live down there 

I would never have allowed him to go into care - and he knew that

Today is 'S' day or rather tonight is 'S' night .... will be 'interesting'.

Awoke to wet paths this morning - must have been a good sleep as I heard nothing.  Put paid to our gardening plans until everything dries out but the garden certainly is smiling.

Have the 'I dunnos' today ..... don't know whether to go to the movies or not.  Want to go and see 'Ladies in Black' as I have heard great reports of the film.  My sister's first Christmas holiday job was in the toy department at David Jones (I recall her describing some of the difficult parcels she had to wrap) and she saw so much of her time there in the movie.  

Anyway, we will decide in the fullness of time lol

Have happy days my friends ..... take care ~~~~~

Should go see Ladies In Black, Laney.

Parts of it were filmed at May Gibb's house right near here at Kurraba Point.

Hi Debra and Kopes

Just in case I do not get in tomorrow (we have a heap of other stuff happening here in Freo tomorrow) wanted to wish you 'Happy Grand Final Friday' as I think it is a public holiday over there.

Hope you enjoy the GF on Saturday and good luck to your boys TGSE.

Freddie - same for your boys on Sunday although I expect to be back here before then (hopefully) anyway.

~~~~ to our Friends, posting or not, travelling or not, MIA or not ~~~~~

Thanks Laney - very disappointed with the decision made to dismiss

the shoulder charge by Billy Slater - I think they will regret their decision

in the future - Have a lovely week-end enjoy the sunshine food laughter

and good times.

it is a public holiday here today Laney.... my daughter who works part time in retail tells me everyone's been wearing Collingwood jumpers this past week

today they have a GF parade in the city.. which I'll be steering clear of  

Freddie, you must be getting excited about Sunday.... good luck

Ok...........what is everyones predicition for tomorrow.

I dont care who wins.......as long as the margin is either 82-36-60-67.

Our daughter talked me into buy the last four margin tickets for her work

Freddie................hubby parents were lucky enough live all their lives at home..............both living into their 90's.

We all gave his Mum a lot of help over her last few years so she could stay at home.

I'm not planing to watch the match, but I'll be hapy if the Eagles win. Fingers crossed that your ticket turns out to be a winner, Flashie.
