From my home to yours
Wishing you and your family a joyous Christmas
and a healthy new year!
PS saw your card on Billy's page,thats GREAT!

Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.

Here's an oldie but a goodie.

"Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.
She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
and we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered out the door into the snow.
When we found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had hoof-prints on her forehead,
and incriminating Claus marks on her back.

Now we're all so proud of grandpa,
He's been taking this so well.
See him in there watching football,
drinking root beer and
playing cards with Cousin Mel.
It's not Christmas without Grandma,
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts,
or send them back?
Send them back!!

Now the goose is on the table
and the pudding made of fig
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched
the hair on grandma's wig.
I've warned all my
friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves,
they should never give a license
to a man who drives a sleigh
and plays with elves.

Thank you for the birthday blessing and hope you have a very merry christmas.

Hey Nal - do you have your own hard copy of your card? If you would like me to send you one please just say, it is really no imposition on me or my time...x

Stopped by to wish you good cheer
Brought a little bubblie here
May your toast be great
For two thousand eight
May you have a very

Hope your Christmas was blest.
No resolutions to obsess
It is not too late
For to celebrate
Our Lord Saviour’s Righteousness

Nal for your beautiful present, not just today, but throughout this whole past year of 2007. You have added so much beauty to so many people's lives with your superior talents as a photographer. I delight in seeing the beauty of nature through your lens. And your wonderful quotes & outlook on life in general add even more to my enjoyment. By the way, I've also taken some time to look at Kathy & Marshall's wedding photos which are wonderful in a different way. Kathy was certainly a beautiful bride! Been wondering if the newlyweds got back from their honeymoon before Christmas? Hope you & all your family, including the four-legged members, enjoy continued love, peace, health, & happiness all the way through 2008.

Nal
wishing you and all the family a very Happy and healthy 2008

to you and yours

Hi Nal! Up to now I have had time to give a look at your page. Your pics are GREAT. I love the most those in a serie of birds where there is a title "Spring is in the air". What kind of birds are those?. Thank you for your wellcome in Sudokuland. Wishing you the best in 2008.

Hi Nal - In case you are having a hard time accessing the Sudoku web site, I thought I would let you know that you can get in through the "back-door." I was able to get in through my "history" pages of my browser and onto my persol page. The Forum SA3 is the "meeting" place. Lots of luck

NAL.....Simply fantastic vidio.....you know I can only approve, but with your great taste and sense of justice...you hardly need my approval. In other words....You did great Lady! Ray is always a winner isn't he?

Hi nal, I have asked for your help in a private message.
Your photos continue to astound me with their beauty and the quality of your photography.

Gday Nal, great to see you around. I bet you are taking a well-earned breather after your hectic December.
That is a great photo of a creepy crawly. Glad it's only on the screen, otherwise you'd hear the screams from here!

Oh, Nal, por favor digame que tomo este foto al zoologico! I'll have a fit if this is what you found in your backyard!

Nal - posted the rest of the story (about the old man & his dog) - it is on the same page (5). Sorry about that.

BTW Nal - one of the things that peaked my interest in this site - besides the puzzles - was your great photos. Yesterday, I got caught up on your latest postings.

Great portrait Nal!

Dropped in to say "ello" and also view your "portrait', but for some reason I'm not able to see any photo's at all? All I see is your youtube

perhaps you are updating your page, will come back later to check it out.
Have a great day!

Nal,
How does one describe you,
beautiful just doesn’t do you justice.

What are you thinking
What has captured your mind
What is it you see
Your smile holds the secret
Of what your eyes hold

What am I thinking
What have I seen
The face of Beauty
The face of Love
The face of an Angel
This is what I see.

Nal - A very thought provoking photograph xx

Oh Nal, yes I know. My mother has Alzheimers. She was diagnosed 8 years ago and in caring for her I've watched her go from merely confused and in serious denial to a behavior of a five year old. She's still at home but becoming more and more out of my father's capabilities to care for her even with my help.
God bless you.

Nal, so sorry about your mom...Alzheimer is a life stealer and hope the reacherers will soon find some answer to help. The picture you took of your mom is very touching.

Your mom is beautiful, Nal, and her face reflects a life well-lived. God bless you for taking care of her. XO

Nal, What a WONDERFUL photo.Look at the photo which shows so much character in her face and remember the person she was not who she is now. You certainly took that photo with love.

I have seen alzheimers in other families but have been fortunate that my mother who died at 85 was still holding office in several organisations and MIL who is also 93 goes out to bingo etc.
FIL was still driving at 90 when he passed away.

It's a beautiful photo, Nal, but it probably shows you the progress of the illness. Alzheimer is a great problem in France and nothing's done to help the families. Bon courage!

Nal - it is hard dealing with dementia (Alzheimers, being a form). My mother's sister (alzheimers) and my father and his brothers (demintia) along with some of their wives. I kept fearing the day that I visted my Dad and he would not know who I was. It may sound awful, but I'm glad that he died before that day came.

My cousins (Mom's side) & I used to kid around that we best contribute to find a cure, since it is hereditary. Now both of them are gone - both dying way too young - leaving only me & my Mom. I thank God, that at 86 she is sharp as a tack. I believe that the day she stops working will be the day she dies.

The other day their was a photo of an old man, with time etched upon his face. The picture of your Mom is quite similar in many ways. Thank you for sharing. It is tough remembering who they were, but those memories will remain - just dampened by todays view. Love to you & God's blessings be upon you and your Mom.

Nal
the photo shows mum as having earned her 93 years. you are all doing a fantastic job looking after your mum and giving her love regardless.
take care, god bless.

Thank you for sharing your Mum with us Nal.
Give her an extra hug from me next time.
And one for yourself.

Nal, Your photo of your Mum is beautiful, poignant and tragic at the same time. Any of us who have had to deal with this disease recognise everything that picture says.

Nal, that is a beautiful and poignant photo of your Mum, thank you for sharing it.

Hi Nal. That's a very beautiful photo of your mother. I've looked at some your photos a few times but have never commented before today - I'm always just so inspired & awed by them!

nal, thank you for sharing your photo of your mum. Many of us can identify with what you're going through. She is blessed to have a daughter as caring as you. I firmly believe that you reap what you sow, so I have no doubt that she is indeed a wonderful mother. Best wishes for both of you.

Nal - no doubt about it - she does look good.

I rember my mother getting upset with my Uncle for putting his wife (my mother's sister) in a home. Harry was legally blind and it was too much for him to care for her - so he put her in a care home 3 blocks from his home and spent most of the days with her. Years later, when my father got out of the hospital, Mom could not care for him and put him in a home then he was transfered to the VA Hospital where he lived for 3 years before passing away. It is hard to be a caretaker, especially if you have your own problems to deal with. I think my Mom learned that Harry wasn't wrong in putting his wife in a home, he did what was best for her - when it was not practical for him to care for her, just as it was not practical for Mom to care for Dad. All you can really do is love them and be there for them. That is why I would go down to LA every other month for those 3 years to see Dad and give Mom a break to get away and do some traveling.

Nal...I can never say enough about your ability to capture a subject that is reflective of life as it is and yet contains a beauty that goes well beyond what may be expected. You have captured the duality of strength of character as well as the poignancy of loss in your mom's face. Your hand and eye were certainly guided by love. Like many others, My family has lost three members to this horrible disease that afflicts too many. Peace and love in all of your dealings, continued prayers for you and yours.
