P.S.

Oh by the way I lost some weight during the whole vertigo ordeal.....WHY you may ask......because I couldn't get to the Fridge etc !!!!!!  hahaha
Today I thought well I'm going to carry on with this trend so for lunch I had a big salad all the good stuff...even with lemon poured over instead of Salad dressing type yummy mayo....three quarter the way through after feeling so righteous about my decision and now that I can drive again I started craving for a creamed doughnut.....fought with the idea for ages ......... and about 2 seconds into my thinking I was getting my keys and in the car........I remembered that it was lunch time and they sell out really quickly so...well the rest you will see on my hips.

Hello Lajla !!!! your back.

So good to wake up this morning and see me without blur or fuzzy and to feel like the sea in my head has moved back to the coast !!!
It has been most trying but I still feel very blessed as I have so many wonderful blessings and I can live a great life to my choosing.
I have watched a lot of T.V. or rather had it in the background just for some noise at times...but I saw a programme on the cooking Channel with Rick Stein as he hired a Barge and went through the Channels and Rivers in France ...oh how magnificent and really beautiful...it is now on my Bucket List...hmmm amongst the seeing of the Aurora Lights in Alaska...and many other desires........I think Tony will have to take on a second Job. Just as well he is younger and so much fitter then me hahaha.....the little darling.

Slowly

Well today was better then yesterday ...... Which is good..... Getting a bit frustrated with the slowness of healing .... Can't do anything about it..... Tony bought home some lovely Lindt Chocolates my favourites..... Did improve my health immensely though.....I figure if he does that each day I would improve much quicker.

Vertigo tell me about it

What a dreadful sickness....
Have been in bed since Friday afternoon ...... Thank goodness I am 80% better and my head is not spinning as much.....luckily I had some sea sick tablets that stopped the nausea and also was out with my friend on Friday in Perth and even though I started to feel giddy later in the afternoon and was driving, I was able to get my friend home safely and get home myself ..... It then became impossible to get out of bed.....so I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for that mercy.
Have also found out that it is going around..... Sorry for anyone who might have this..... But grateful as I thought I had something seriously wrong with my head..... To some that may still be debatable..... So relieved that today I can stand and am able to do a few things.

Seattle

Finally spoke to them well some of them Rhys, Court and Jazmin....so good to see them....I think that things are beginning to settle down and they are getting in the groove of the journey...of course Jaz and Rhys would be really loving it meeting new youth....but I have a feeling that Rhys still misses his old mates back home.
Tomorrow they are planning to go to the City and visit some of the sites there...I can see them doing things like the Space Needle......having been there myself not long ago...

I came across this by accident

So very moving I just had to put it on my Blog.....Enjoy

Our Winter Family

Left Wednesday Midnight to go to America.......can hardly belief that they have gone.....
Miss them terribly...but it is something that they really wanted to do.
I think if I knew that they were definitely coming home...I could enjoy their experience more.....
But I have been blessed I have had them close by for all of their married life and have experienced having my perfect Grandchildren close by.
Have heard from them and they have arrived in the U.S.A. safely and are now in Seattle.
Court said that they all went well..long journey... food good on the plane, but all very tired.
Katie left with the end of the Flu still in her body and of course that was a worry not only for her and us but other Plane passengers...but had a blessing which told her that during her flight she would be ok.
She did email me this morning and said that she is missing us and a little bit homesick.
I was reading between the lines and wondered if their experience in Seattle Airport wasn't all that it could have been..not sure.
Once they have settled and got over their tiredness ...I'm sure they will enjoy the journey.
I to have been in bed with the Flu for three days..but pretty well good now.
Poor Tony has really got it and is about the sickest I have seen him..... Lucky he waited till I got better...
Sure is easily caught though.....even though I was really careful...not to spread it....

Mother's Day 2013

What a wonderful way to start the day Raisin Loaf toast a beautiful carD and a box of Chocolates for me in bed from my Darling...now I know that was an effort as he is the sleeper in ..... in our Family...so appreciated his effort....
Went to Church which too was wonderful...then went and visited Tony's Mother who is 94...great visit also with Ron being there....who was taking Nanna out for Lunch as she didn't want to be eating with all those Old people there.( which she is probably the oldest and mind sharpest )
We came home to what we thought was going to be a progressive dinner...started with a candle lit pumpkin Soup meal at Bec's, she said now I won't give you to much as you will probably get to full as you go along to the others......we played snakes and ladders which was on a towel ,Lacey wins apparently she always does...I came last.....which was fine with me.....we left there to go to Naomi's next door...Tony says as we walked out "Hope we get sweets here" as Naomi is the Queen of sweets in our Family......we went outside and watched little Patch and Manly run around the trampoline so adorable.... here is this little 14 month old running around the edge of the Tramp and looking the cutest ever...he then came and gave me every ball he could find from the yard ...which was many....Manly is ever kind to Patch and mindful of not bumping into him on the trampoline...Loved the wonderful necklace that Manly made for his Mother.....we thought it sure doesn't smell like lunch here....eventually Naomi says have you eaten?
we said well we had entree and Bec's...so she made us a slice of Raisin bread each.....then massaged my feet ...Now that was a treat.
We then went to Nic's house...we thought hmmm not sure that the meal thing got around to all the girls so we were not really expecting much in the sustenance department..hahaha
Well Nic made us a milkshake with Spinach that actually tasted very nice....I was given several presents told to pick one and ended up with both as I loved them both so much.I had a little battle with convincing that the gifts were for me as it was Anthony's third Birthday as well and he thought of course that all gifts that day were for him !!!!!.the little ones gave me special paintings....sometimes I wonder if Nic gets these from what the kids make at School and are now passed onto me !!!! hahaha...... we made a game of getting to know me better that was fun.
Vanessa came around with the kids and Maya had bought a special shopping list note pad...just love it.
Had phone calls from Katie....(she is taking me out for lunch today before they leave this Wednesday Night)
Oh my gosh I have certainly felt so very sad about that as they are hoping to stay in Canada for good..... But it is an adventure that will be wonderful for them...so I am pleased about that.....and I have been blessed to have had them close by all this time.
Spoke to Jack, Leo and Jord...had a huge cuddle from Luke and spoke to Brendon on the phone.
Oh by the way when we came home after visiting the girls...We were still hungry and Tony made me TOASTED RAISIN BREAD !!!!!
