Bits and bobs...

Found the old photo of my squad, can you recognise me..

We are on count down now for Sunday when we go to Las Vegas. I am so excited both to be going to Vegas to celebrate out anniversary and to be meeting lots of blog friends. That will be so good.

Sending out loving thoughts to those suffering with the awful weather across the pond. A huge thank you to Mo for all he does running the cat blogosphere. We so appreciate it and its the blogoversary .

Got to rush. Love and hugs to all. Carol xx

Our GJ's Poem....

A fellow blogger Yvonne who became a friend writes poetry and has had books published. Last year Yvonne wrote a poem for our GJ. When we lost our boy Yvonne asked did we want the poem taking out. We didn't we wanted it leaving in. This week Yvonne sent me a copy of her new book and we loved the poem and the book. Of course there were tears and smiles. I have tried to display it here for you to see.


                             I made it bigger and hope you can read it ..
                    Yvonne has a blog Here I know she would like if you said if you liked her poem ..
                                         I love it..

The room is finished....What do you think...

You will remember I have been telling you about doing our room up. e have re done it all and changed the colour on walls and doors. The unit that is built in were the TV is was a very dark wood and varnished. The wall unit was a dark wood and very large. We painted the unit a light colour the same as the doors and the walls a pale oatmeal colour. The wall unit was given to the charity shop. We changed the carpet again to a paler colour. All these things lifted the room and made it seem much lighter. The last piece of the puzzle was thee suite which was ordered at the beginning of January. It is a Lazboy and it was delivered today. It took 15 weeks because it came from USA where it was made. The last piece of the puzzle completed the transformation and I love it....

                

                                            The new units are much smaller and lighter..
                                      The unit with the TV on is now lighter and I believe prettier and the carpet again adding to the lighter effect..
                                          Barrie trying the recliner out..

         Do you agree it looks better. Hope you like the look.
Take care everyone.

My hoodie...

A friend has started a new business printing and stitching. Just look at my GJ digitised and on a hoodie. I love it.


  I have just finished a round of nights and I am ready for a few days off now. Last night was really trying as the fog was pea soup thick making it difficult to get to help people. I was glad to see my bed this morning. Have a good weekend everyone.  Hugs Carol x
