Twists and Turns

From Ian: Greetings from a very dreary and wet Midland!!!! Had another good day yesterday. She enjoyed her quilting but felt tired on her return. I was free so went to the hardware store to buy some deer netting and then to Starbucks for a nice latte. Afternoon was uneventful and Fiona and Ryan came round for the evening.
This morning she is not so good. She is trying to write a short email to Andrew and is very frustrated as she can't spell and doesn't know the keyboard. After tears I have told her to write and I will spell check. I find it so very hard to watch how she has been reduced to this!!! We will be leaving shortly for a dummy run for the radiation and the REAL thing starts on Monday.
Roseb: I read your comments about our home on the mountain and it brought floods of memories back. We can't get rugby here. The house was constantly full of visitors and Di would always cook more as we never knew how many would be round the dinner table. All so very different here. Life is certainly full of twists and turns that we cannot anticipate.
Well I will go and help lady Di write her note.
Shalom.

  1. Oh Di - well done for getting to the quilting...I still need to collect mine...I can't wait to see it. The typing must be hugely frustrating - have you thought of getting one of the voice activated programs? People who use them find them very good, but it does take some work to perfect the voice recognition.
    Lots love to you.

  2. Ian,

    I remember your hospitality did not change at all when you moved to Bridgewater and Morristown. You are an amazing family
