Sudokuaholics Anonymous 6

And one more

June, any chance of making it down to Melbourne while Rena is here? Did I send you the dates? I certainly meant to!

Meant to say, I will be having a gathering at my place on Saturday November 29th.

You did send the dates Gail, but have not thought about it yet. Just been plodding along day by day. Sharon will start driving again this week so that will make life a bit easier.
6 weeks to Christmas is a bit frightening. Lots to do before then.(And I am wasting?? time here)

How wonderful to be able to check in after dark! It gets dark so early now!

OH RENA, time did fly by, I remember when you said you were going, back months ago like it was yesterday! Hope you are not so excited you cannot sleep.

Mariana, when will Mr Mariana be home? Tonight? tomorrow? Next week? Know it cannot be soon enough for you! Do try to find time to check in with us after he gets back. You do not have to take time to read, till you and he get reacquainted again.

It is NOT the end of Nov yet...no-one is allowed to mention the 'C' word till then!!!

OH GAIL, do wish I could be there for your gathering. I hear you do a smash up job of hosting gatherings for visiting dignitaries hehe.

Oh stop MizT, your making me blush!

It is still much too warm to think about the C word here. All the leaves are still on the trees, some of them still GREEN even! I have not done a thing, do not even have a plan, which is most unlike me.

And now, it is brunch time...Pancakes with maple syrup...any takers?

Catch you later.
Have a great day/night all.

I'm back from the Chili supper. I enjoyed myself with club members... a lot more turned out than expected..... but we had very few customers. The newspaper was supposed to print a notice about it, but they "forgot".

Just looked up the train fares. $65 each way economy or $91 each way first class. No problem getting in from the airport then

I have not seen my grandsons since June.

Gail... I had waffles with maple syrup for brunch. Great minds think alike.

I have bought fruit for cakes, stamps, cards, paper and some presents. A lot of that at the end of last year (Cards and paper).I buy gifts for about 40 people so do need to get organised early. Breakfast with my family here the Sunday before and lunch with Ken's family on C day.
Mariana, we share your excitment.

Hi June. A bit of rain here today. Ethan has just gone to work. About to light the outdoor stove and will cook the turkey rolled roast that came with the new fridge for the evenings meal.
We also got a 6.2kl turkey but not sure when I will be cooking that! Glad you can find time to chill out in here occasionally.

Yippee! Mariana is so excited because Mr. Mariana will be coming home! We're excited for you!

Wouldn't it be great if we could all get to the San Francisco meet-up or meet with you DUGs and Rena at the end of the month?

Hi, June, Gail, MizTricia, Heidi, Mariana, and Vivacious Viv! Heidi, the newspaper should make a contribution since they didn't print the notice! If we were closer, a chili supper sounds good! Speaking of supper, I better go fling food. Hope to be back later, though!

Just popping in and out here! Worked in the yard all day getting the last 200 bulbs in and now my back is TOAST! Glad I got it done, tho - as it has started raining.
Off to Babes party tonight...leaving in just a few minutes.
Will have lots of time to veg and catch up tomorrow.
to DUGs and Topsiders alike!

EVERYBODY...Did anybody notice what happened to the afternoon? Suppose that is waht comes of sitting up yabbering on to Tricia half the night!!

Susan...what a terrible night you have had. To not be able to go to your son when he needs you [and you need to see him after that sort of news]. How terrible for the family and friends of that young man. This sort of life event leaves an indelible mark on all affected. I have witnessed first hand the devastation it leaves in its wake....my thoughts are with you.

to Ruby and Susan's son's friends family and friends

Amongst the sad news there is the glad news...MR MARIANA is coming home...we all celebrate with you Ma...we know how much you have missed him. Hope you will still have some time for us though..

Great news for you Marianna...Enjoy and don't give us a thought until you and Mr Marianna have become well....tired...he he...everybody needs to come up for air sometimes.... Have a wongerful reunion...shipping the kids out for awhile? Just asking since its been soooo long.

Ruby...Its a wonderful thing to have a friend who shares the fun things in life and keeps a person's memory alive...that's what Robert had in you...and his life was enriched by that friendship...My condolences!

Susan, sorry for the loss of your son's friend. I know it is a hard time for you but I hope knowing you have a lot of friends in the world thinking of you, it will help. The same for you Ruby. It is hard to lose a friend. The beauty of the sudoku family is that we all think about each other and share the joy and the sorrow.

Mamacita, how are you doing?

Good afternoon lovely SA6 people -
Susan - my condolences also on the loss of your son's friend. You must have had a bad night and I like you would have wanted to be there with him.
Ruby - condolences also on the loss of Robert. It's always so sad to lose a friend.
to you both.

Afternoon all!

Back from baseball - I forgot my hat so I'm sunburnt! fricka fracka

Rena, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. The flowers were a beautiful tribute and would have reduced me to tears. Hugs to you Rena

Suzy, you need sunscreen as well as a hat.

I had the sunscreen Tami, but that's not enough on it's own either... I should know better - up to 6 spots now!

I am back again.
Did you win the baseball Suzy?
I have just spent the last couple of hours behind the Bar pulling beers!! I have become a barmaid in my old age

Suzy, Suzy, Suzy! You have got to take care of your skin. It is the only one you got. You can't just go out and buy new skin.

Susan and Ruby... I cannot find the words to express how sorry I am that you are going through these losses.
Susan... This is why I get upset when people say that God doesn't give people more than they can handle. That young friend had more than he could handle. At least his torment is over, though that of his family and friends is not.

June, I'll take one. I should have known you would show up when a TOPP was approaching.

Agree with you Heidi. It might be the easy way out for a person, but it is definitely hard on the family. I have known families in the same situation and it is not easy.

June, giggling imagining you pulling beer.

Ebob's team lost again, but they made some good plays!

June, I was talking about a beer, but I will take the TOPP too, if possible.

Just reminding Ebob that she has her math final tomorrow....

I think we will be studying coordinate geometry together a little later

Sorry to hear that Ebob lost. It is nice to now they made some good plays. There is always next time.

It's late, and I really should go out and do the feeding, but I keep dozing off in my chair.
