Two Sweeties!

My two grandchildren live far away so it's wonderful when their mum sends me a photo of them. There are 2 more grandchildren due next year.

Their ages 5 and 3.

In The City

Several times of late I have been in our small city, if the lights are with you can be there in 10 minutes, then to find a parking place well!!  A certain unnamed person is so tinny that he always finds one very close to the city if not right in it!  If I was driving no such luck for me...no I am not a defeatist it's just the way it works mostly.

Today we had lunch in the city at a Pub, I had Smoked Salmon salad with chips.  Yes, I am going to cook dinner tonight after I finish this post.  We are hungry now :) at 7.15pm

All the visits to the city I ask where are all the people, this year there are not many yet.

I took 2 photos with my phone whilst there during the week and of course they are below.

 The Mall without a lot of people during the week.

This tree is the only decoration that I have seen in the Mall.

Something I Made!

I enjoy making Graphics during my spare time.  I often do some graphics in the evening at my dads as I can talk and do at the same time.

I found this Koala free photo on the net and made remainder.  

We don't have snow at Christmas and wonder why we don't have our own Christmas Cards with the beach, sun and sun umbrellas on the front of the cards...guess it's not viable.

  

From A Far

I have two lovely internet friends from Canada, such beautiful people with wonderful 'hearts'.  

I met both Ladies about the same time and have been corresponding with both of them via email.  They are 'B' and 'G'.

Now 'B' was looking for garden information all those years ago and came across 'our business homepage' as it was called in those days, wishing to know information 'B' sent an email & that started our long relationship.

When 'B's' mother passed on a few years later all that 'B' wanted to do was travel to Australia to be with me :) her husband being a commercial Pilot at that time was thinking of flying in a small plane to Australia but decided against it without a co-Pilot, just too many hours and many days.  So 'B' and I emailed just about everyday, I was her therapy & I suspect that my medical degrees came into being at that time.

'B' from the 2nd Christmas of our meeting sent me a small Christmas Cake wrapped in a cloth soaked in Rum, wrapped in cellophane and pipe cleaners to tie, then put in a box and posted.  This happened every year & I must say I never expected a cake each year.

Last year 'B' wrote that, that was the last year a Christmas Cake would be sent to me due to the cost of the postage plus I totally agreed.

Today, I just happened to be home for about 15 minutes around lunch time and the postman came in his van with a parcel.  There were tears of joy from me, for it was as always a surprise but this year more of one - it was my Christmas Cake from Canada with a Christmas Card saying:  "I just could NOT send you one this year"...:)

God Bless You, my friend from afar, & Thank You.
