Good Sunday Morning, November 1st!

G'day ( monday) from a sunny South Australia!

Temp predicted to reach 35C today and it's already warm outside!

Thanks for the hugs friend's, I'm feeling much better today after a good nights sleep.

Today is housework day, have the washing cogitating, as Sabby says and have changed the sheets, back to using cotton now after the winter/early spring with flannelette, made the bed, had breakfast and after posting here, am off to tackle the bathroom and loo! Ahhh, what exciting lives we lead! lol

Great pics, Marla!

Wishing everyone a pleasant day/night/ whatever it is in your area!

Cheers .............

aw marla, i wanted to refer to your 1st picture- is his name eli (i'm sorry, i'm going blank)?
anyways, that is a face/head of perfection.
so, so gorgeous...of course those luscious curls don't hurt the image.

gracie, i didn't know you weren't well, but am glad you are feeling better.

i have either cotton sheets, or flannel.
and i usually switch them as well...
until i left flannel sheets on my son's bed (last year) longer than anticipated, and discovered they are wonderful to use in the warm months as well.
they absorb any perspiration, right up.

now i shall commit myself to the nearest psych hospital.
what on earth is wrong when a mature, intelligent (?????) woman wants to talk about sheets?
(i suppose, an eccentric woman?)

Haven't been unwell as such, Les. Thanks anyway. Am grieving the passing of a life long dear sweet friend who passed last saturday week ago. Funeral was last tuesday. It hit rather hard. I'm feeling lighter today and am glad for that.

LOL ... well since we're all nurses, I guess "sheet talk" isn't so far removed from some degree of intelligent discussion! LOL

Then again .........

Well I've completed those pesky but necessary chores for another day!
Last of the washing still going through it's paces in the machine and once that last lots hung on the line, I'm calling it quits from housework for today.

Will walk the boys in the cool of the evening later today. It's too hot outdoors - for them and me! - to do it sooner.

We'll have a BBQ for tea tonight, perfect BBQ weather and salads appeal greatly anytime but especially in hot weather.

Ok, what's news in the other threads?????

BBL ...........

i'm really very sorry, grace.
i lost my beloved mil on 9/10, and my heart remains incredibly heavy.
yet, it seems that death changes us.
well, it is changing me once again.
i find myself doing more, in terms of expressing love and charity.
mom was always about doing for others.
never met anyone with a bigger heart or capacity to love.

and so, while i profoundly miss her, i find myself 'changing'...
becoming even more tolerant, compassionat, out-reaching.
and it has me wondering if i am literally carrying a part of mom's spirit with me.

i only hope that you too, embrace and experience a lovely part of who your friend is/was.
it is very comforting and bittersweet simultaneously.

wishing you much peace, grace.:icon_hug:

Thank you Leslie, I have no doubt at all that you indeed are carrying your MIL's spirit with you. I believe we do in many ways. And I totally understand what you've written about death changing us. ((((hugs to you ))))

We are changed by the passing of those we love. I believe that's their legacy to us, part of the reason they were in our lives at all.

Part of mourning her loss, is remembering the joy of knowing her, and that brings some comfort. Knowing she lived a long and happy life also brings comfort.

It's just hard to process that only a matter of weeks ago, we were together with her and her DH, enjoying a morning tea and laughing and having a lovely visit as we regularly do, never for one moment imagining her time on earth was nearing it's end.

Further reinforces why it's so important to make each and every day count!

Her presence in my life has made an impact, her loss has impacted, hard, and I know her influence will stay with me and have enormous bearing on how I live my life. It had done so already and will only increase in the times ahead.

Nighty Night...a very busy day today. Tried to talk "deeply" with DH, we still need to work on our communication level, lol, but is ok... all society has the same problem so we are in trend, he, he, he.

I fell alone and used, but this is ok also, all of us fell the same.

From how long i din't talk with you about hapiness??? Long timeeeeeee, tonight buterflly told me her plans, she is a dreamer a good good one...she asked at what point I lost my dreams... well.... you know time by time.... but for sure was when I coudn't seen the soul before anything else in people around...

I talked nice, i was open, I payed triple than was the price for a cake, because I wanted it and because the baker told me that is an excelent one and I cuted it and ate it and even if the taste was strange for my "normal" taste sense, I thought, may be is because of filling, or iceing... and I ate more.... is not about my taste is about the cake, about the people who cook the cake...... was wrong alterated, I had cramps, I have cramps, all of us we have cramps, all that ate had cramps....

We will see....be good and belive always in good thinks! Love you!

OMG, Marla, that child is BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

What a gorgeous child ! WOW !
