The dove of peace and a teddy bear for Ethan! Cheers!

Hi Rosemary! So glad Ethan is doing well & had a happy christening day. I keep meaning to tell you that every time I go to my page I always notice the very first message left on it by YOU! Each time you change your avatar to a new rose it changes the avatar on that first message, so I enjoy seeing an ever changing variety! Wonder how many different ones you've posted by now? It's a LOT - all so beautiful! Have a good day. XO

No Rosemary the accolades go to you! If the children behave like they're ready to learn and willing to cooperate the parents are that way! If otherwise, well, I have found that children who don't behave well, the parents are usually too busy to work with their children or the parents behave that way too!

Please pass on best wishes from a Canadian to your Dad on his birthday Rosemary. Tell him I'm striving to (eventually) catch up to him. Cheers, and happy birthday Rose's Papa!

Add my best wishes to those you pass on to your dad, Kevin, please Rosemary.
Hope he is feeling well for the day's celebrations.

Sorry I am a day late but please pass on Birthday wishes to your Dad. Hope he is starting to feel a lot better.
You have some lovely photos of Ethan's Christening. A beautiful gown. Does it have a history?
You have two gorgeous looking grandkids.

Happy Anniversary to you parents, Rosemary.
Every celebration is a good celebration.

Hi, Rosemary! I'm just reading Easy comments after being away from the computer for a few days. Belated birthday wishes to your Dad. I hope his health is improving! Also enjoyed pictures of the christening. That little one is surely growing!

G'day Rosemary! Love your new rose today at the top of my page. I'm a few days behind on commenting since I've been so busy getting ready for the tennis tournament this weekend followed by the beach week with Jane & Jaime, followed by a week babysitting for the NC grandsons. Leaving tomorrow. Still lots to do. I'm late sending my best wishes for your parents' 58th anniversary! That's a great achievement. Hope your dad contnues to improve. See you in a few weeks.

Rosemary, I have been overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me for my birthday. It really does make your day to find well wishers from all over the world have visited with such greetings.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
It was a special couple of days for Hannah and me. Way too much food and cake(s)!

Hi Rosemary

Ethan is growing so well. The photos are fantastic.

Love Rose

Hi Rosemary. The photos are beautiful!

thanks so much rosemary for your message on my birthday. it was lovely
i had a wonderful birthday, thankyou for asking!

Rosemary, there's really not a lot I can say except things can only get better.

Oh, Rosemary - I do hope when things settle down and you've recovered from your bout with shingles that you can take a little time for yourself. I, too, was a caregiver once, and stress has a way of manifesting itself in very unpleasant ways. Please know that we are all thinking of you and hoping that things will right themselves soon!

Get well soon Rosemary

Wow Rosemary! I just read your post - Wish I could give you a hug my dear. Loads of love going your way. ♥

Oh Rose, what can I say...hang in there....
all the vitamins in this basket will help ......
Shingles sucks!!!

Rosemary: So sorry to hear that you have shingles. Glad you got the anti-viral meds. Hope they continue to bring you improvement on a daily basis, and the shingles are soon a thing of the past. I had them a few years ago (before the anti-viral med)--ther were on my backside, but luckily did not last too long. Hope the family continues to be well. Good to hear about your mum and dad. Take care; you all continue in my prayers. God Bless.

Rose just popping in to say get better soon sweetheart, sending lots of love to you and a nice big hug xx

I'm off on my hols for 10 days so will catch up when I get back. Take care of yourself and of course your mum and dad xx

Wow! Rosemary, there's a saying..."When it rains, it pours!" It was an advertisement for salt, but it seems appropriate for you. I hope everything settles down for you VERY soon! I bet mundane is sounding better and better! Hang in there!

Rosemary hope your shingles are a thing of the past very soon. A little later this year I will be getting the shot.
Well wishes for your Mom & Dad.

Thank you Rosemary for passing on that most sad of news about CP's mother.
Too sad for words.

Just an OLD remedy.... take the anti-viral meds, but also drink pineapple juice. That is an old Vermont remedy for shingles.

Well Rosemary, I just have to say thank you for your comments over the last year, and for the one today. It actually brought tears to my eyes to read your comment and a couple others. I do appreciate your friendship and support, and while i'm glad to be back, and hope I stay longer. I'm sorry I wasn't a good friend for some time.
I love seeing your photo's and I hope all is well with you :)
You're awesome!
Because there are so many people onsite, I likely won't go back any time soon to everyones old pages or the archives, so I'll keep intouch from here on out, if you'd like :)
And maybe one day I'll get the umph to really, truly catch up!

take care,
an old friend

Thank you thank you, Rosemary!!! you made my day even more special!! Take care and remember to stay calm to keep from aggravating your shingles!!!

Dear Rosemary,
Thank you for your support while I have been ill. I never expected such a response from this site, everyone’s concern and caring has overwhelmed me. I can only say that it is the genuine people here who make this a very unique place to share our hopes, dreams, ups and downs. So thank you for being there.

Dear Rosemary,
Thank you for your caring message after Mum's death, and also "Miss Me", a poem I love. The love and support from everyone on this wonderful site has been amazing and very much appreciated. I have been overwhelmed with kindness.

Hi Rosemary, Thanks for your birthday greetings! I sorta celebrated April 20 on this site as it was posted as a month early! So how did you know the "real" date? The truth is I love being greeted on any date! Hope you are doing well - I just learned my daughter has shingles. She is an active mom too. Remember to take some serene time for yourself if you can.

Hiya mate..long time no see.Hows life?
well Tag you are at it brought me here..I have tagged you(grin)..chk the site plz
cheers

Thank you Rosemary for making my birthday a special one.
Many sudoku friends from around the world coming to visit me and wishing me a Happy Birthday have overwhelmed me.
My Husband and sons took me out to dinner to a Chinese Restaurant, and on the Sunday, we had a delicious Roast Dinner at MIL’s.

Hello Rosemary! I have been intending to stop by your page for several weeks now, but have not gotten around to it until today. I hope you are doing better these days after your bout with shingles. Rob & I have checked into getting the preventative vaccine that is available now, but have been told our insurance does not cover it. We may decide to pay out of pocket. We hear awful things about shingles, & SO many people our age get it. How's your Dad & the rest of the family? I left a comment on your photo of Taylah & Ethan. No rush in replying. I know you are terribly busy. Just know that I am thinking of you & send you hugs

Hi Rosemary, we dpn't have a cure for shingles, only sympathy. Anne developed shingles in the aircraft on the way to UK and has great sympathy for fellow sufferers. Hers was under the bra line and we had a fairly miserable holiday.
How is your Dad? I do hope he has recovered by now.

Rosemary, I just lost a rambling comment where I praised you and was thanking you for everything except the kitchen sink....Karma took over and sent that comment to cyberland so that I could be more succinct, a trait of yours that I admire, and simply say, for helping to make my birthday more special!....

Taking the time to say thank you for your message of love and support through the tough times with my mum, and her death. My heart has been lifted by the warmth and love shown to me here.

thanks for bringing me a sweet message on my page.. much appreciated. you've always been a wonderful friend.

I love the broom with the lady up top on your page- hehe.. haha.. that isn't you, is it?

Hi Rosemary. What a lovely picture of Taylah and Ethan. How are you doing? have you defeated the shingles yet? I have also experienced them, and I know how rough they can be. Hope all is well with your exrended family as well. Cheers my virtual friend!

G'day Rosemary! I was so glad to see your posts today & to read that you are over your shingles now. Rob & I have found out we can receive the shingles vaccine for free at the military base near us - one of the many benefits of Rob's 23 years in the Navy! Since you have not changed your rose avatar (that I see first on my page!) in a long time I could tell that you have been very busy! Stay well, dear lady. A big hug from me to you.

Rosemary, a very to you. It only seems like yesterday when we were here last time celebrating!
I have brought along a bottle of bubbly, a Choc Mud and a big bouquet of roses! to help with the celebrations.
Have a truly wongerful day.
