Mamacita, our heart goes out to you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will all be here for you when you need us.

I have only just read the sad news.
To Mama, you are in my thoughts and heart.
RIP Sully, you were part of our family too.

Mamacieta, I was stunned to hear about Sully, I am soo sorry dear friend. We are here if you need us.

Mamacita I am sooooo sorry! I never thought for a moment about this risk... Please know that I am thinking about you, as are so many others in here.

Mamacita, I feel so powerless so far away and so I have just been looking at your photo gallery, meeting your family and thinking of all the people who are sad with you right now. Sending more cyber hugs!

Mamacita, please take care of yourself.

Mamacita, echoing everyones sentiments here.
You are in our thoughts.

Our thoughts, prayers and greatest sympathies are with you, Mama.

Despite the sadness, I had a nice lunch with Kate and Kate. Melbourne Kate was in Sydney for a few days and wanted to meet up with Sydney Kate. With just the three of us the conversation was more personal and we were able to learn more about each other. (all mundane!) Also conversation about cameras, and photos etc.

And there is a photo on my page.

Hi June.
Glad you all got to meet each other.
Even though it has turned out to be a sad day on the site.
Loved the pic.

I am pleased you had a wongerful meet today June. Wish I could have been with you.

Hi Gail.
Any mail from me yet?

Gail, thanks for the messages. You certainly would have livened up the conversation!
Hope your cold is getting better.Sorry to have passed it on. (which you cannot smell)

hehe June

Maen sudoluland.

Coffee is ready and I need it to get up and ging today. Such a busy day yesterday. I GOT SQUISHED, and I said OUCH, but that is over and done with for another while.

I made more Jam before I left for appointment, and I still have plums. Neighbor still has plums, too, on thier trees and keeps inviting me to go back for more! I need to stop the jam making and just slice some to freeze to use as fruit this winter. Hubby likes them stewed over plain cake, or with dumplins. I made him some with dumplins for sweets last night.

I'm shocked and full of sadness over the loss of Sully. Mama, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. We love you and just know that we are here when you need us. Please take care!

Sent Meghan off to Cairo yesterday. She is not there yet though. She has a 12 hour layover in London. She was very nervous and I'm nervous about her arrival in Cairo. She won't get there until 1am and then she has to find her way to an apartment and the directions she got from her apartmentmate has the taxi dropping her off a block away. I don't know how she can possible pull her luggage a block. Please say a little prayer that she gets there safely. Thanks. I wonder if I can track her plane to see if it will be leaving London on time?

When I got to my mom's, she had a big bruise over her eye and on her arm. Apparently, she fell when her foot hit the wheel of her walker. She couldn't get up and had to drag herself to the other end of the house to get to the phone to call my sister. She seems ok, but she didn't go to the doctor which worries me. Even a bump on the rode when she's in the car can cause another break in her back. She did seem a little more crooked and she had a harder time walking. I think she's just sick and tired of doctors. Hopefully, She will be ok.

Ruby, my entire right cheek (I know, tmi) is a deep red purple. It is still hard to sit, so it was hard driving the 3 hours down. It feels like a bad sunburn when I'm not sitting and with little movements when I sit, it feels like a cut with a knife. It will be nice to be able to sleep again when it heals more.

June, I hope your toe feels better. Hopefully, you won't lose the nail. You must have been seeing stars when that board dropped! Hope Laura liked playing with the carriage.

Hope everyone here has a great day/night!

Stella hope your mother gets over her fall, these things can be frightening for an older person. oh and your bruise sounds lovely and colourful, though I doubt it will be on public view
If you know Meghan's flight number you can check it out on the airport website, either Heathrow(to see departure time) or Cairo (for arrival)

Brenda, is the time difference only 5 hours now after we did daylight savings here? I thought her flight was leaving 11:45 our time but when I just checked the flight now, it hasn't left yet and it says the time is 5:45pm there.

Morning all.

d2 came home from school yesterday with another story about the kids who weren't invited to her birthday party...

They have attempted to convince people not to go, told her people who are going aren't because they hate her, and yesterday they told a girl who is going to 'make it the worst birthday ever'.

So now I need suggestions for a little something that will make this the 'best birthday ever'. Hubby is suggesting $100 gift certificates for everyone who comes...

p.s. the only ones who were invited but aren't coming are kids who are actually out of town on the day.

pps d2 is fine/not nearly as stressed as I am, as the way these kids are behaving is just more of the same and is the reason they weren't invited in the first place.

Stella, I hope your Mum is okay, your bruise stops hurting soon, and that Meghan arrived safely. Let us know!

MizT, you are good getting squished. I haven't managed to convince myself to do that yet...

Suzy, I am long past the teenage party stage but I am sure if you just have the type of food they all love, the right music and lots of fun everything will go well. It is worrying that female bullying has become such a problem.
And just think if those bullies were at the party they would spoil it anyway.
I am sure your daughters true friends will be there.

Stella, hope your Mum is OK. Your fall certainly has left you very sore and hope it soon improves. You have too busy a life to have injuries like that.
(and my toe feels OK now...and Laura loved putting the dolls in the pram and pushing it around!)

Stella, we will have to start calling you the 'Dropsy' family!

fellow SA5ers

Feeling a little better. Always feel ok in the mornings, but come nighttime, I wallow in self-pity!
Still mainly in my head (no, not imaginary), a little cough but not in my chest, so far, so good. If I end up with a chest infection, I usually end up in hospital with an asthma attack! Touch wood for me, not with your toe June!

Sorry Eliseviv, only saw your post this morning...YES! YAY! It got here fine. Picked it up from the post office yesterday. Give me a chance to have a good read, and I'll get back to you.

Thinking of you Mama.

Have just sent an email to Julie, Becky and Jenni because they haven't been on since we had the news and I thought they would like to know. Is there anyone else of our SA family we should contact?

I'll bet Cyndi in SC would like to know, Gail. MizT might have her E-mail.

Excellent thinking Ruby, I do not have her email addy unfortunately.
MizT or anyone who does, please contact Cyndi.

RUBY, thank you, and I do have Cyndi's address and sent the message just now. thanks for the heads up.

Great Minds think alike.

was thinking about the emails myself.. Thanks to Gail, she had done so already. and to MizT.

Mama.. Thinking of you and your family

My boy got home safely yesterday.
Had a wonderful Holiday.. the 'best ever' his says
