We hope you all have a happy and peaceful 2010.
Oops! Should I have used my header doodle?  Well this is the real me doodle – just this once.
We’re getting ready for a family gathering with lots of games tonight.  Hopefully we will have fun.  We will be remembering Sindie especially, as this was always her [...]

It really is one year today!

It’s here! My 1st Blogoversary. I know I had a false alarm once before but it’s one year today since I started blogging publicly.  Drowsey Monkey sent me this cake a long time back and I bet she thought I’d forgotten it.  There’s also some cute little cupcakes, I baked myself – remember, I lie!

It was my birthday yesterday and just look what my sister ‘GrannyGrimble’ gave to me!  My very own ephilump!

It isn’t 3 inches but it’s pretty close at 4 1/2 inches.   Those of you that read my ‘Honest Scrap’ post will know the relevance of this.   Isn’t she lovely?  If I can’t have a live [...]

Mo singing ‘A Merry Little Christmas’

Here it is.  Mo singing last Sunday night.  The sound quality is not brilliant, but not bad considering it was recorded through the video camera.

Would you like to mess up a Christmas Carol?

“Would you like to sing ‘Mary’s Boy Child’ at our Christmas Carol Service?”
It was Christmas 1995 and Mo had been asked to sing.  I don’t know how they found out that she could sing, but they asked her anyway.  Mo agreed and the musicians came to our home for a rehearsal.  At some point, when [...]

This is a very old family video.  The Halloween party was almost 25 years ago, at our house.
It’s my dad with the bolt through his neck.  Bless him, he had only recently lost mum but he still took part, even if he did look a little lost at times.  He did well.

Hope you enjoyed this [...]

The Wedding

It was March 15th 1969 – My big day.  Everything had gone according to plan. The house was a buzz of busyness and excitement.  One sister did my nails, another my makeup, and my dress hung on the wardrobe door in readiness.  Today I would find out if my dressmaking skills were good enough.  Would [...]

Who is this strange Canadian girl
Who tried to drown her mother?
Then tried to wash her insides out
With upholstery cleaner, and other
Who is this giant ‘freak head’
Who gets hit by passing birds?
Who’s tongue got stuck to a window ledge
And Talbot Smith, and worms?
Who is this crazy female
With arms that don’t hang right?
Who’s happy to be single
And [...]
