He'd no doubt love that! I hope the chest X-ray went well, I had to laugh at your phrase:"their body's strangnesses". Ah, yes, we all need a lift when contemplating such serious things...and if a dog hair top won't lift the spirits then I guess nothing will.Mrs. Goodneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-49426147241525159132007-06-18T21:36:00.000+10:002007-06-18T21:36:00.000+10:00Yes, I hope the news from your x-ray is good too, ...Yes, I hope the news from your x-ray is good too, Meggie.

What do they achieve, what purpose do they serve, other than devastating families? <BR/><BR/>How lovely is that picnic set! No matter, the rain will pass and there will be a beautiful sunny day which will be just right for a picnic for you and GOM and SG. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the x-ray.

I remember when my dad died the shock of that feeling that I wasn't going to have the opportunity to know him any better, he was a book that had gone forever out of print...<BR/><BR/>I have observed, as the owner of a hairy black dog, that dark dog owners wear dark clothes, blond, cream and white dog-owners favour lighter clothes. I'm qite happy as darker colours are more flattering, and glad that she isn't black and white!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-22400325907309764952007-06-18T13:00:00.000+10:002007-06-18T13:00:00.000+10:00A dog hair top sounds very stylish.

Most of the other shoppers are younger than me, and I get some strange looks. I don't give a stuff...when they are my age and doing the same thing, perhaps they will remember me and smile..lol<BR/><BR/>Sad about your dad, life's a funny old business. It's a good job we don't know what's in store for us isn't it. Nice you met your half sibs, is there no way you could contact the sister..?<BR/>hugs..<BR/>XxxSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.com
