Here we are at another catch up with our Friday smiles. It's been a week of slow recovery from the bugs we have had for what seems like weeks. I think we are getting there...we have stopped running temperatures but the energy levels still need topping up.
We have the boys this weekend so I may have more smiles for next Friday but Theo managed to finish the ferris wheel he had been making using the K'nex. It was really tricky to make but he persevered and was so chuffed with the finished article.
Our garden continues to make us smile...the flowers keep blooming in every corner.
It wouldn't be a Friday without a few funnies....I hope something here raises a few smiles. Please leave me a little comment and then link up to your own smiles below.
Hello all. It's been a week of highs and lows. I was called back following my recent mammogram. On attending the clinic they told me they had seen something in the glands under my left arm and after ultra scanning they took 4 needle biopsies and mentioned possible lymphoma. I had to wait a full week for a phone call to tell me the time of my next clinic appointment. They called me back on Tuesday afternoon to tell me they had found no abnormalities and I didn't need a follow up....PHEW!! What a relief that was.
I would have celebrated if only both hubby and I hadn't gone down with another dose of flu...I don't think I've ever felt so rough and am still recovering. We just don't seem to be able to shake the bugs off.
I popped out into the garden and quickly snapped as many of the flowers that I hadn't shown you before...I hope you love them as much as I do.
We had the boys last weekend and shared many happy moments. Our son, Mark, used to love his Knex as a child and he still does...that really made me smile. He had a lot of fun with Louie while Theo was away at cub camp with his mummy.
Sam is back on stage as one of only two children in the adult performance of Shrek....sadly we aren't well enough to go to see him.....his mummy has sent me lots of pics and videos so we don't miss out completely.
Peggy wen't for her first haircut this week...she was such a good girl for the groomer and not only looks really pretty but her coat is soooooo soft.
,
That just leaves me to share my funnies with you. I hope something here makes you smile and you will leave me a little message before sharing your smiles with us too.
Hello all and a happy Friday. My week is throwing me some challenges at the mo so I have had to look a little harder to find smiles.
Our little Peggy never fails to make us smile. The photo on the left is one I took after I had brushed her....her coat is long now and she is booked in for her first hair cut on 25th so I have been trying to get some good pics before she loses her baby coat....she's such a pretty colour.
The photo on the right tells a tale....there was stuffing from one of her toys all over the floor and the guilt of who did it could be seen right there on her nose!! :-) :-)
I've been out in the garden snapping pics of all the gorgeous Spring flowers that are making us smile right now....aren't they gorgeous?
That just leaves me to share a few funnies with you...I hope something here makes you smile.
Hello all. Firstly I must say sorry for not leaving any comments last week. I was feeling pretty rubbish [and are still recovering !!]. It's been a particularly horrid bug that has taken some shifting...but I will get there.
It was our weekend to have the boys so we had lots of fun with them even though little Louie was still recovering from the bug.
We had some lovely time outside in the garden getting some fresh air in the sunshine.
We also had some fun making rockets that propelled themselves into the air using elastic bands.
The Spring flowers are starting to come out all around the garden....and that really makes me smile.
Of course I have a few funnies to share with you too...and there do seem rather a lot this week too....have fun.
Here we are at another catch up of the smiles from the last week...and there's been many thankfully.
I shared a collage of all the lovely outfits Lexi wore at her dance competitions last weekend on my Wednesday post....I steamed them all for her so it was really lovely watching her put to good use....she is a beautiful little dancer now.
I'm hoping you can see this video of her dancing one of her dances. I'm loving watching her grow and develop ....she loves her dancing.
Here she is with her best buddy with the medal for the third place they were given :-)
I thought you'd like to see more of the Spring flowers in our garden now.
Of course there has to be a few funnies to share with you to raise a smile or two.
I hope you will leave me comment now before linking to your own smiles.
Hello all. We come here every Friday to catch up with the smiles we have had from the previous week and I hope you've had lots.
Lexi gives us lots to smile about at the mo...she entered dance competitions on line by recording her dances at home and sending the videos in. I saw her videos and wow what a lovely little dancer she is now. It's been so lovely watching her grow and develop. Here she is holding all the awards she got....3 firsts, a second and a participant....so very proud of you Lexi.
I steamed all her dance dresses on Wednesday ready for a weekend of more dance competitions...and we are going to watch some of them too....more smiles :-)
We had Louie all day and Theo before and after school on Tuesday this week. It's so special being able to spend quality time with them both.
They are here for tea on the days they come and both really love their food including lots of fruit and vegetables....they are a pleasure to cook for. In fact little Louie [not yet 2] kept saying...Nanny this is delicious :-)
Our garden is filled with Spring flowers now and this week I can now includ the first of our tulips coming out....there's loads more to come out yet too :-)
Of course before I finish I have to include a few funnies...I hope they make you smile.
Please leave me a comment and then link up to your own smiles at the bottom.
Here we are at another catch up of the smiles from the week....and I'm blessed to say there's been lots to smile about...
Last Friday we travelled to South Wales to spend the weekend in a lovely dog friendly cottage....that is apart from the stairs :-)
We live in a bungalow because I don't manage stairs well because of my arthritis....and we now know Milly isn't a fan either lol
I don't think either of us noticed that the cottage had stairs when we booked it ...it was an upside down cottage with living room/kitchen upstairs and the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs so it wasn't just a case of going down the stairs at bedtime.
Milly refused to go down the stairs and had to be carried and going up was a challenge too.
This was our bed....very pretty but I almost needed a step to get up into it .
The potty was in the sitting room window....it was very tempting :-)
One of our trips out was to Cenarth falls....it was so lovely here. The water was really noisy and at the right time of the year Salmon jump up the falls to spawn.
We visited Llangrannog beach....such a lovely little beach to walk Milly.
The top left photo is where water was bubbling up through the sand...like a spring.
These were also taken at the same beach. There was a lovely little cafe and I really loved the mosiac in the top left pic.
Milly loves to people watch and I think she looks like King of the castle here.
All around our cottage were signs of Spring....so beautiful.
It was also next to a small farm with 3 horses, 2 cows, 5 sheep, 3 pigs and several chickens....the owners were very welcoming and happily introduced us to all the animals.
Of course it wouldn't be Friday without a few funnies...I hope they raise a few smiles.
Please leave me a little comment so I know you've called in and, if you can, then link up to your own smiles below.
Hi all. It's been another week filled with smiles..... and some I can't share yet [sorry to tease] :-)
We had a really fun day yesterday with this gorgeous little man yesterday and his big brother before and after school. They have so much love for each other [sometimes too much :-) ] and it's so special to be part of their lives and know how much they love us too.
We have Spring bulbs bursting into bloom in every corner of our garden and that makes me smile....I hope they make you smile too.
Of course it wouldn't be a Friday without a few funnies. I hope they make you smile too and you will leave me a little message before linking up to your own smiles at the bottom.
Week 360? That's a lot of smiles isn't it? Thanks to all who join in every week...you really do make the world a happier place.
I've had another happy week filled with smiles thankfully and have a few I can share with you...
Lulu is all packed up here ready to go on a skiing trip with her school....she left last Saturday and, from what I've heard, she's been having a wonderful time.
The twins have been taking it in turns to cook tea this week and love to send me pics of the progress....It all looks so yummy.
Last night we went to watch Sam in his school perfomance of Matilda....it was really brilliant. I always love to see young people putting their hearts into their acting/singing.
Our garden is full of promise of what's to come...there are bulbs shooting up everywhere. I love this time of year.
Of course I also have a few funnies so share with you.
Please leave me a little message so I know you've called in and, if you can, please link up to your smiles below.
Good morning all. I hope I find you all well and happy this Wednesday. I've had a couple of customers this week and have repaired the sleeve on a blouse and shortened a couple of pairs of jeans so far but have Memory bears on their way through the post :-)
This has given me a little time to be creative [if only I can get motivated lol].
I love making the Christmas wreath so much and it made me smile every time I walked past my sewing room door, where it was hanging, that I thought I'd have a go at making one covered with Spring flowers so I sorted through several Spring coloured fabrics and ironed stiff interfacing on the back of each to make the machine embroidery easier.
Spring is on it's way :-)
I've made a start with a couple of Daffodils and snowdrops so far and rather like how they are turning out so far....what do you think?
That's all from me for today. Please leave me a little message so I know you've called by and I will do my best to pay you a return visit as soon as I can.
We've had a lovely week this week and there's been many smiles.
On Friday night we went to Theatre Severn to see....
Shrek Junior...It was brilliant and there were so many very talented young people in it....we are so luck to have such a well used theatre in Shrewsbury.
Of course we had personal reasons for going too...
Lexi was performing in it [proud Nanny moments]. These are the 4 parts she played...she sang and danced and her confidence has really grown now....It's wonderful to watch.
It was our 41st Wedding Anniversary on 17th which would have been my Dad's 103rd birthday....such happy memories of our special day.
Our grandchildren asked why Grandad looked like Elton John :-)
I made my dress and it always makes me smile. It had a full length train and I felt like a queen in it.
The wedding cake makes us laugh because, if you noticed the wall heater behind us, the icing under the pillars started to give way and they had to be supported with cardboard before it toppled over.
My bouquet was made up with freesias and when it arrived from the florist several of the freesias were dead and had to be removed and other flowers moved into the spaces left.
So many happy, happy [and often funny] memories.
Of course I just have to share our garden flowers ....the tulips are simply stunning in the sunshine so hope you love my new header pic as much as I do.
I've just the one funny today...funny? yes but it has a serious message. We are trying to teach the children that it's not necessarily who they think on the internet.
I may struggle to leave messages this week but will do my best...more about that next week ;-)
