Morning Jan. Thank you. Isn't the weather miserable? I never got to sweep up my leaves that last dry spell and my driveway is a mess. She enjoyed the trip very much.

Thank you Paul. I am just off the phone to my eldest daughter chatting about her trip there at the weekend, with my other two daughters and their Dad. The weather was lovely as you know, and they had a lovely time based in Silema.

It would be fun if I didn't now have to replace the hundreds of items I had to spill out on the floor last night in search of Rena's elusive red polka dot bikini. The yellow one had become too itsy bitsy teenie weenie she said. No luck!

Boy you can say that again! I once followed a trail of ants right into the closet where my daughter had left candy in her back pack. I love your cute footle Jean! : )

Thank you Connie. Scariest of all was finding a bag full of Rena's old hair extensions.

Hi Jan. I was sitting here scratching my head trying to think of something when I got a call from my baby, Rena. She is looking for a red polka dot bikini to send to Dublin on the bus at 8:30am for a trip to Malta on Thursday. Neither of us know it's whereabouts however....
