Good morning Stringsters

What a year....I won't begin to describe it all but I don't want another like it.

As well as a few other issues, my darling eldest sister was quite ill and passed away last Friday. Thank God she is finally at peace. I have been going up the coast on a weekend to visit and help nurse her. Between work through the week and weekends there, I have had very little time for anything else so sorry for my long absences.

Sis was 14 years older than me but we were very close, we had a special bond. She was my mentor and I will miss her very, very much.

I hope everyone here is well and life is peaceful.

Nics,  your photos are heartwarming and uplifting in spirit. Such beautiful children.  

oh Prim.... I am so very sorry to hear that...

so nice to see you here though

Oh Prim, I am so sorry.

why oh why do the weekends go so fast

Prim my condolences to you and your family a very sad and emotional time for you all

morning all  

I'm running late here for my coffee with Mum & Dad

better get a move on... I'm a bit slower on these  cold mornings

It's not just the weekends Deb, my whole weeks are galloping by at an alarming rate these days. I think it has something to do with the ratio of life already lived to life still ahead.

so true She-ele.. the week's nearly half over already

morning all  

today is going to disappear fast for me too, I really need to have a day at home so i can get some housework done... so far Thur and Friday are free. So the housework will just have to wait till then
