Cinderella, I think you may have figured it out.
I had a good time while we traveled, but I am happy with simple things more than with luxury.
How was work today?
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

SS--You went, you cruised, you returned. Since it was Alaska, I'm assuming sunburn wasn't a big problem!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I just got up and have to get ready for work soon. If I really got what I wanted, I go back to Wisconsin and live on the farm now, but am will eventually settle for some farm-ish place somewhere else unknown to me at this time, sometime unspecified but hopefully soon-ish day. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

SS - twice I have shut my eyes and waited to die in the accident unfolding around me. Twice I have walked away. Then, I survived the death of my marriage. The molestation of my daughter and the resulting splitting asunder of my FOO. There are few things as important as being with the people who love you.

Being with people you love.
Living so God is pleased with you.
Knowing someone is there when you pray.
Watching your children make good choices.

Tonight in just over an hour, AW who thinks shes just going to dinner with friends to celebrate 4th July as they are from the US, is going to be joined by one of my darling grandsons, her big soldier boy JJ. Our own Minstrel Boy himself is arriving. But that is not the only surprise awaiitng her - no my Granddaughter Liz has been holding this in for so long I am surprised she has not blown herself apart <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> - arriving with him will be this pretty little blonde girl by the name of Hayley. She is a singer and friend of my GD Lizzy. She and my grandson sang at the Oxfam concert just before his deployment where it became VERY obvious they were more than just 'friends' <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. This was when AW was sick in Hospital for a few days. Not even Liz was aware of what has obviously been a serious relationship - they both live in Canberra about 3000km east thata way. She about fell off her seat as little brother (little? you MUST be joking - I think I have said this before) had a serious problem with, how to put this nicely?? , yes thats it - with commitment. He has been a bit of a lad, a wombat you know that Australian mammal that eats roots and leaves <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Sorry but it was true, even his Granma (me) who loves him absolutely has to admit to that. But don't quote me. Nanna isn't that fond of him being a soldier though <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> So I've been here at AW's house with Mikey cleaning up, getting the coffee ready, cakes, and waiting. You know I hate waiting <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Hayleys cute though, lovely hazel eyes, a truly kind soul.And she looks absolutely ravishing in a burgundy dress, and she is so obviously in love with JJ - I think he's been a very naughty boy <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> We shall see what we shall see - soon <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Neak & TL liz said she will send you a recording of her brother just for fun as it probably wont happen again. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> JJ actually sang something very special for his mum but she has never heard it nor even known he had done it for her. He's a good boy really. Goodness I wish his dad was here. AWs Mum <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thank God for those people willing to be soldiers - the good kind.

What a lot of news for one sitting! And it's so good to hear from you, Mum!!!!!!!
I didn't even know anyone else sang, either, but how nice that your DGD isn't the only one with talent, lol.
Rella, what is your next event?

I'll try to find time to post it, but right now I'm busy not drowning. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Hello to everyone. If someone can tell me whatever possessed me to agree to work a day shift tomorrow, please be sure and let me know. Personally, I have no explanation... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I loathe working day shift!

Neak, next event.....
Other than the usual activities, the next event will be one of the following:
- funeral tomorrow for the man in whose honor I walked the half marathon
- dinner with friend Friday or Saturday night
- World Hoop Day at East Park 5 - 7 p.m. Saturday night
- I guess, since David did pass away, I will train for next years Country Music Half Marathon in April 2008
Pick one! I guess the one you choose will be determined by your definition of an event.

I think there may be some islands without mosquitoes somewhere in the Arctic Circle. So sorry about your friend, but all the best as you keep training. The Dervish bequeathed a new catch phrase to us yesterday. Neaksis laid down on my bed, and spotted the Dervish, standing innocently with his hands behind his back, over by the Princess' dresser. She called him over to rub her back, and though he balked a little, he did come. But he had to think of a way to get back over there and hide the evidence before Auntie saw it, so he began to leap and twirl, shouting, "Pink! Pink! I'm attracted to pink!" Over and over again. He twirled his way over to the dresser, began grabbing pink things and purple things, and very slyly <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> wrapped up the cheez whiz in a purple girl thingy ("Purple! Purple! I'm attracted to purple!") and chucked it on the floor. Auntie was not fooled. It would serve him right if we got him a whole bunch of pink stuff, since he is attracted to pink. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
