news in short


have been busy and not in the mood for posting, it will happen, I promise.

For those of you that have been praying for my friend Hem, thank you. Hem went home to Our Lord on Friday morning early, so we have been busy sorting stuff out for the funeral, which will be on Thursday. I am putting up some family here by us as Les is short of space, as you know we are busy converting to a bed and breakfast so I have 2 double rooms and a single that is ready and a double bathroom . Obviously still running our Office Supplies business, so life is pretty hectic.

My son has moved girlfriend in, just to add to my stress, but at least they are now both working and has promised to start paying soon (whenever soon will be, is another matter)

Our darling Kerry, my step daughter, is pregnant, it is a girl and she is half way already, due 2nd June

That's it for now, see you laters, I tend to hang out on FB when time permits, takes less energy

32 degrees C here, blue skyes, humidity of 75, so in shorts and strappy T , sweltering in office

Love
Marianne

    Hi Marianne. Sorry to hear about Hem. He fought for so long, but at least now he is at rest. Hope to see you back soon, when things have settled down. ((HUGS))

      15 months and at the end, the body gave up, till the last , his soul was positive, unbelievable strength.

    I have been missing you my friend.

    I am sorry to hear about your friend, he fought a long battle and now there is no more pain.

    I didn't know about the B&B, what a great idea. You certainly are a glutton for punishment though doing all of that work plus the office. Please take care of yourself Marianne.

    Great news about the baby. Something wonderful to look forward to.

    It is so good to hear from you, I can stop worrying now.

    Huggles.

      service was today, it was beautiful, managed to hold myself together, until the son in law read out a poem, just the end of me .......... Hem is in a better place now, it is up to us left behind to help Les move on and carry on living.

      you are so sweet, sonny .......... *smile* ......... you cannot stop though, can you? Life is what it is, sometimes you want to scream "stop the world, I want to get off" but the world don't stop and life carries on, so up to you, what to make of the mess and get on with it, find a solution and soldier on, there is no other options, really.

      All will be well, we have each other and we have The Lord

    I knew you had been sick, didn't realize you had so much on your plate as well. Do take care of yourself.
    Sorry to hear of the passing of your friend, I know you must be a huge comfort to them during this difficult time.
