In shock

hi girls.

Liefie, lovely to hear from you, can't wait to hear all about your week with little Em. X

Nihahi, LOVE your beautiful pics. Breathtaking scenery and the little bird with its foot on your hand  brought a tear to my eye. X

Saturady morning here, DH off on his long walk, new walking shoes purchased yesterday, hope they don't hurt him. Spent that long in sports shop Edi was glazing over !! Then he bought me a lovely woolen jacket so all forgiven.

Smallest GD here for sleepover tonight so must dash and tidy her room.

Happy Weekend to all x

Hi Movie, I'm back home. Had to tear myself away from that baby, but it is good to be home with DH. The kids need to be on their own now to do their own thing, and make their own life. Took a lot of photos, and grandpa and I have been taking turns to look at them - lol. 

Benny, I'm with Movie. We genuinely miss you! Please come back,and entertain us with your stories again. I always enjoyed reading them.

Edi - I am impressed that you can hang your washing out in March - that's great. I love hanging my laundry outside, but haven't done it this spring yet - although yesterday it was 14 degrees, so the weather looks like it is picking up. 

I am still having a lot of pain in my arm and shoulder from my fall - it is impacting on my sleep at nights, having to get up and ice it, and walk around - not much fun, then I go back to bed around 5am, and sleep until 9:30, crazy sleeping schedule!  Today I have physio, so hopefully that will help.

Liefie - welcome back to beautiful British Columbia. It must have been hard to leave little Em!! But at least she doesn't live in South Africa, so you will get to see her fairly often. Do you have a Facebook page with some photos on it - would love to see them if you don't mind sharing your Facebook with me. My little grandkids live in Quebec and I only get to see them about 4 times a year and on Skype, but that just isn't the same.

Nihahi - tho photos are incredible - such untouched beauty.

Morwenna - thinking of you, and will be in your pocket for Wednesday.

Websister - glad your cold is finally better.

Have a good day everyone!

Traii......WT??? ACCIDENT????? You had better be ok, chickee! As for the "date"....yup, you've come a LONG way....sending you hugs for years and years of happy! Come visit sometime....bring your cybermom, edi.....the mountains won't know what hit them!

Thankyou my dear friends. I'm seeing my hematologist at 9.00 tomorrow, hoping that he will let me come off the warfarin, now I've been anticoagulated for a year! Then my biopsy is at 1pm, so fingers crossed for both please. I know you'll all be there with me, and a friend (my sons M.I.L.) is driving me.

I'm a bit overcome this evening. At chorus tonight I was nominated for the title of "Spirit of 26", which is awarded to somebody in our region (western Canada) who embodies the spirit of Sweet Adelines. It is a great honour even to be nominated. Each chorus can put forward a candidate, and the title will be awarded at our Regional Conference and Competition, in Surrey, BC, in early May. 

We give our own nominee the title of "Soul Sister", and I was given a beautiful orchid, and a fabulous chain-link bracelet, featuring our "lips" motif, and made by one of our talented members.

Feeling pretty exhausted now, I'd better turf my kitty off my lap and get me to my bed! xx

hi ,

Nihahi/Websister /Traii packing as we speak  That trip is on my bucket list. Gosh what fun that would be.to actually meet some of the kindest and most wonderful women in the world would be the icing on the cake.

Traii, Happy Birthday to you, that crash must have been scarey  Last night on way to choir I almost hit another car, mis read where they were going and that was bad enough. Have a glorious day with your lovely family and stay safe.

Morwenna, singing to you in your pocket today , sure all will be well ,except for that racket from your pocket. your award so well deserved and really beautiful.((( hugs )))

Liefie, bet you are still gazing at  those photos.

Had a lovely phone call yesterday, I have an interview Tuesday for volunteer work at "Headstrong "in my hospital.It is a group of ladies who help with advice on hair loss, wigs, and other head coverings. Bit nervous but here goes.trying to keep busy and DH seems to be more chilled about me getting out and about as he is starting to find things to do in his retirement.

must get going as I have a two tier cake to design and ice. friends daughter qualified as a nurse and they are having a grand ball on Saturday so centre piece needed,

Healing and love coming out to you all.X

Morwenna, my sincere wishes that everything will go fine for you today. Congrats on the nomination, and I do hope you win the title in May. You go girl!

Adagio, I hope your arm and shoulder are getting better. The things we do to ourselves, eh? My back problems come from a fall on the ice about 10 years ago.

Traii, good to hear from you, and that you are all fine after the crash. Happy birthday to you! Enjoy the new car - is that your birthday present? Lol.

Edi, yes, I'm still starstruck, and missing that little baby. Phoning, texting and skype just does not cut it in this case. I want to hold her close. Will try to skype you later today. 

Nihahi, enjoy the mountains! Hopefully the weather is playing along, and you are having loads of snow fun.

Dakota, good to hear from you. Busy as always, eh? Hope you and cockroach can work something out.

A good day to everyone

hi ,

Flipping heck Morwenna, if they boiled both of us up they couldn't make a whole one LOL.

You with ice pack me with patch on eye after cataract op this afternoon. I look in the mirror and scare myself. 

went to local private hospital, very posh. They were so lovely and put me at ease. Had op with local  All ok then guess what ? New lens went in crooked !! Surgeon apologises then can't get it out again !!!! She had to cut it in half in my eye and fish it out. OW to say the least then new one goes in.OW again then thank goodness all done.seems I need extra anesthetic next time . Holy sxxt batman.so much for a pain free and simple op sitting here typing using one eye and other one feels like it is full of glass.  Please God it eases by the morning.

you will be fine I am sure, they don't usually joke about if they suspect something bad is there. chin up chuck x

Liefie, would have loved a skype but off to bed in a mo, so sore and eye streaming. Maybe tomorrow ?

Going to chill all day.

Dakota, Hope all works out for you.

Gotta run feeling sorry for myself. 

Edi - you didn't tell us you were having cataract surgery!! Or maybe I missed that post. Sorry you ended up having a complication . I think it is generally a straightforward procedure. Ouch!!! You poor thing - sure hope your eye feels better soon, so that you are able to work on your celebration cake! I have a cataract growing on my right eye, so I know somewhere down the road that I too will have this surgery - your experience makes me not want to hurry the process.

Morwenna - hope all comes back negative for you in terms of the biopsy.

Momof2 - how are things  going with you? Starting to feel better I hope. When is the wedding?

Hi Ladies,

I have been laying low…takes me a week it seems to adjust to DST. I hate the loss of 1 hour. 

Edi…so sorry that the procedure did not go smoothly. Just give your eye a little more time; it will get better 

Liefie…you are going to have such a great time spoiling little Emily. I would be obsessed with all the cute little outfits and designing her bedroom. My DD does not appreciate my sewing skills. Hopefully your DD is more appreciative of her wonderful and amazing mom.

Adagio… that is one stubborn "bruise". I suppose all you can do at this point is ice it and take motrin or some other anti inflammatory drug. Certainly wish you relief…you have been through enough!!!

Mo…I am so glad that it is scar tissue. Wish the doctors would give you a break with all the testing. Congratulations on your nomination and award. You deserve to win. Let's have a celebration and Edi can make a cake

Trail…glad you are okay from your accident. Our Pruis was totaled in December 2013 by a teenager that crossed the center line. That little car protected us well, but we also had to get a new Pruis. 

Well, the wedding is getting closer. I finally found the proper hat, to go with my dress. I figure a hat on top of my wig will totally confuse the annoying SIL who does not know what I have been through. I am just coasting along at this point. I am more concerned about making drapes for Keiko Cottage.

It is Spring break this week at UGA, so DH is home with me He gets to do the taxes 

DH was nice enough to make my coffee this AM. But now the cup is empty. You know what that means…time to start the day!!!  Yippee doo !

Have a good day to all…

Jenifer

Hi ,

Eye improving by the hour phew

Momof glad you are ok  know what you mean about your sewing skills, my lot only want them when they can't repair something themselves. Drapes for cottage sound such a lovely happy thing to be doing.
You will blow them away at the wedding, trip SIL up by "accident " if she annoys you. I whipped wig off and scratched my head in front of someone similar but you better not try that one .Hope there is a visitors wing on the cottage as you may be over run by the warrior sisters.

Spring seems to have arrived in all her glory here at last. This weekend supposed to be lovely and warm. Saturday is our 45th wedding anniversary.If I had murdered DH on our wedding day would have been out years ago ha ha. Do tell him that by the way, keeps him on his toes. He is crashing around in the loft right now looking for something, I will get told off when he comes down as it is a tip !! All my fault oops.

Fries and eggs sunny side up for dinner as he is cooking. One of my all time favourites.

Hope you all like the warrior picture from Benny she is moving on really well. Owe her such a debt of gratitude for setting up this thread.

Still trying to finish this cake, have to make lots of things related to nursing, should be easy after last year, will post a pic when done if I can.

Love to all X

Nihahi…The photos look heavenly. Any northern lights activity? 

My appointment to review my results is not until the 24th. It seems an age away. I don't know if it might be possible to find out sooner .... The imaging centre doc told me the results would be about a week.

Focussing on anything that keeps my mind off it for more than a few minutes is exhausting

sneak into netcare, and check out the results for me?

Seriously? Nothing really, but I am planning on calling Drs office ans tell them that if they DO get the results ans CAN see me sooner, I'd sure appreciate it!
