It was ssooooo good to talk to Na and see Manly on Skype again...only a week they were not contactable as they were on a Holder Family cruise to Mexico but it was to long for me...it really made me think of the olden days when there were no mobile phones or computers or planes...when you said  goodbye to a Family member it really was goodbye and your contact became almost to nothing and probably you would not see them again......how very hard that would have had to be...I remember when we left Holland how upset my Grandmother was...she knew she would never see us again.....she died a few years later...I was told that she was heartbroken....I understand it all a little better now...although I would never stop our children from spreading their wings........ so to speak....... good on them...but a Mother's heart is never far away from her  own...no matter how old they are.
I have the most gorgeous waterfall of Orange colour out in my garden in front with little splashes of white...I must take a picture...will today.
Sometimes my life is full and sometimes it is quieter..this week has been a quieter week.....I like it busier but my body likes the other kind !!!!!
I bought all the little girls a handbag $5 each couldn't pass it up....this is Pene's first handbag she is 2 and boy what a character....think I've talked about her before....anyway Nic said she would not let go of the bag she carried it everywhere including to bed..she would take things out and put them back again..when Nic checked on her that night,  all the little things in her bag were all laid out on the pillow and she was still hanging onto the darn thing. She is an adorable handfull.
I'm off to buy a rubber mat for my bathroom.... nearly fell over the other day.
Family History tonight and visiting a friend this afternoon who is going to help me with a cutting machine I recently purchased and am playing with... good fun.
