    Adagio....Have a totally wonderful time. Hope you see some dolphins. If you do swim with them for me!! (another bucket list thing)


    Feeling better every day...Since I am hold up in the house until the "alumni" go back home and give the streets back to the residents of Athens, I think I will do some sewing


    Enjoy your day, ladies...have fun!

    Websister, I hope by this time you're over your grief of saying farewell to your port - lol - and are well on your way to normalcy again.


    Movie, no news from the S.A. Consul yet. The funny thing now is that if DS e-mails to ask for news, he is ignored, but when I e-mail, it is promptly answered - LOL. The Consul will be working on Monday because it's not a public holiday for S.A., and said they would advise us of fast ways to get the passport to Calgary if/when it is issued. So we're waiting patiently - NOT. Apparently the problem is not at the Consul here, but in S.A. where this is processed. Blame game . . . what's new? The next step is to approach our MLA for help. Had done it once years ago, and got quick results, but I'm reluctant to do it, and hope it doesn't get to that. At the moment I'm finding the situation more amusing than anything else. DS seems quite resigned and calm too. Stress won't make it happen any faster, so we can just as well enjoy the weekend.


    Nihahi, is it hard to snowshoe? I bet it's a good workout? Maybe I should try it - no more skiing for me either. Looking forward to pictures!


    Jenifer, enjoy the sewing! Still have some to do myself. I've pinned the hem of the dress, and now have to sew it. Then I have to find a way to 'bustle' it a little in the back before the dancing starts. It has a small train which I will surely trip over if it's left like that. Will probably just sew ribbons on the inside, and tie it up. That will be the easiest.


    Adagio, are you basking in the sun yet? Enjoy every second!

    Hi everyone


    I was just on Facebook this evening and there was a picture of Carla - I was so very sorry to read that she passed away on November 9th. They do not give the details, just that she lost her fight with breast cancer. The title of this thread captures how I am feeling right now - in shock.

    I too just read the news on FB about the gorgeous and oh so brave Carla. So so so sad. Read that this bitch of a disease got to her bones, I knew she was having pain but we were never aware of diagnosis. We FB chattef lots of times.


    RIP sweet angel Carla.


    This thread 'in shock' sure does sum it all up Websister :(


    Hugs to you all & prayers going out to all Carlas gorgeous family xx

    So shocked about Carla . . . did not know her condition was this serious. My heart goes out to her family, and I am afraid for all of us. There is just no guarantee on this journey.

    Like you all, I am reeling from the shock of Carla's passing.
    She was a beautiful spirit, and sent me the most wonderful messages on face book and here.
    Her faith and her family were everything to her.
    This disease is evil beyond words.
    Rest in peace free from pain with Jesus Dear Friend.

    Can't stop the tears, have read through last messages from Carla on F/B she was so afraid after late DX for TN.
    She didn't reply to my last one a few weeks ago, but I just hoped that life was just too busy and happy for her.
    Someone on FB saw her shopping with her GD recently so hopefully her suffering was over quickly.
    WHY was it not found at the start ????
    Why when they can send men to the flamin moon can't they DX correctly.?
    She never complained and instead sent messages of love and encouragement to everybody else.
    Heaven has a Special new Angel now Smile.
    As she always ended her messages LOVE YOU and will miss you always. SadDear Carla.

    This is such sad news to wake up to. It hits hard, because we are all so vulnerable. This is an evil twisted disease. I only hope that Carla was not in pain and her family have wonderful memories of this special lady to comfort their loss.


    Love to all,


    Jenifer

    I am still just blown away by this.  I last chatted with Carla on FB on Oct 16th, and although, like Edi says, she was very concerned about her late diagnosis as TN, and we talked about how the post-treatment phase is no picnic mentally, there was no indication of other new problems.  It is hard to imagine what could have gone so wrong, so quickly.   I so hope that she did not suffer during those last three weeks.  The world has lost a beautiful person.

    I too am just reeling over this. Did not sleep last night and got up this morning with a huge knot in my back. There was no indication that Carla was that unwell. She was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and moving forward with her life even a month ago. How does a person go from that to this in under a month? I can't wrap my brain around it. I keep thinking the news is wrong. She was such a wonderful warm soul of a human being. Her poor husband must be devastated. I wish I could do

    Group hug today everyone.....There just are no answers to the "whys"....so we will hold on to each other for comfort. I'm sure that Carla always felt the love and support of her friends and family, and now, I believe she would encourage everyone to show that to our own friends and families.

    benny.....the most significant thing you can do, is to live a healthy, active and appreciative life. That is the best way to honour someone like Carla.

    Yes Nihahi, I agree. We don't have any control over that. What we do have control over is how we spend today and our attitude towards it. I am taking my truck into the collision shop for repair (was rear-ended last week), picking up a rental truck then heading out to the farm. The best place to be to forget about this hideous disease is at the farm.

    I will be starting the above activities just as soon as the cat jumps off my lap.

    Love and hugs to all

    I am still trying to wrap my head around this, and can't make heads or tails of it......just makes me hate this disease that much more.....This bitch takes so much from us......and some of us end up paying with our lives.


    What I cannot understand is how the Dr.'s could have made such a mess of Carla's DX, and why she had just found out she was 3N........how does that happen?


    I have an ache in my chest.....just thinking about her. She had even wished me a birthday back in September.....


    Sending prayers heavenward for her family and friends....such a sweet, sweet lady.....

    Hi all,


    got back today after an amazing trip, and popped on here with my happy face, just to find you all reeling from the news of Carla's passing. I don't think I can place her ... What was her forum name?


    Anyway, now feel unutterably tired, lacking both sleep and food when I logged on earlier, at least my DH has fed me. I think I will have a nice warm bath and an early night. Touch base tomorrow.


    Wonderful news from Benny anyway!! Hugs to you all xxxx
