Trying to stay in touch

Nothing much to share here really...but for those close to me and i think you know who you are, Oh! i think that is something i could use in my own eulogy...morbid...sorry. I may have some success with compartmentalising where i am heading. I have to say this is huge for me. I guess as it does not come naturally, like mothering...for example. Breaking it all up into compartments, each with a time frame...which is the other big part. Also Patience. I have always considered myself to be or extreme patience and i have been told by friends in the past how motivated i am. I guesss that is where my problem lays. Motivation that has to take a back seat for a little while. Funny...i am not sure how they go together really....either i am totally motivated to have patience or i am patient with my motivation . Confused you now? insert eye roll here.:)

On another note i have had the utmost pleasure of sharing my home with some wonderful young WWOOF girls in the past couple of months. They have helped me so much with it all. (The work load that is.) They have been wonderful company. Pierre and Bea have both not only enjoyed their company but welcomed them into their lives and shared with them the everyday events. We have started a welcome book for our visitors which i feel in time will be wonderful to look back on with full hearts. It is so lovely to watch in such a short time the girls arrive, involve themselves in our daily rituals and in such a short time express such comfortable body language as if they have been a part of our family for a long time. After all, they are a part of our home and family while they are here.

As soon as the sun shines again i hope to have something to share. :)
Thanks for stopping by....love to you x stay safe x
~~ My goodness i just reread this post...what a waffle...but i shan't delete it. :)

ho hum.....

I wish i had more to share. Just busy doing the usual and spending less time here. Some of the outside jobs are so boring and tedious..the only upside is that they will only need to be done once. We are currently taking down all avocado trees. Its so lovely to look out the window to see light and space....sunshine too. :) Also i am thinning the tropical side to my garden. Man do i despise palm trees. So ...again ..its great to be able to look through various different windows and see through what used to be quite dark really. Its starting to open up. I still have a job and a half ahead of me though...but remaining positive...not looking at the big picture.

My word for the year 'Happy' has failed me a bit...i do wish i could say i am strong and hold that..and hold it strong. I have my good days though. My gorgeous family are so supportive but my poor baby in the US...i have really cried to her. I cannot say i am proud...you know ...being the mother and all...should i not be the one to offer the shoulder?

My craft and love of has really taken a back seat. Why is it so hard to go there...it seems to make me feel worse ...not sure how that works as i have always believed craft ..of any kind ...is healing.

I think of my family and friends all the time. Love you all x

More fun

These pics were taken when my niece visited a few months back. Just got around to scrapping them now. She always has a blast with us. I wish i had got pics of both Bea and her together...never mind. Next time.

Pheww...no rain...for a minute at least...been outside all morning gernying the pavers down the side of the house...started last week but mother nature had other ideas. Hopefully i will get it finished today. How good does it feel to get a job done...tools away..forgotten until next time...ahhh. Needed a cuppa though so here i am with my story and a fun page to share. Thought this old pic was very worthy of remembering...notice how calm my baby looks...most little bubbas of this age are howling in the lap of Santa...lol...she does look a little concerned though..so does her big brother...loved doing this page...but lately ..i am loving it all. Thanks for calling in girls..love ot you and a truly happy weekend..stay close to your loved ones x
