COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

I just purchased Kelly a new car for our 20th anniversary.
We went and looked at it last weekend. She loved it. But we agreed the price was too high.
I snuck back and bought it for her. She hasn't seen it yet.
She's a great wife and deserves whatever she wants. (And that's not much)

Ooh, that’s a beauty! 20 years is another great milestone worth celebrating! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

and a bit on the next page.
It was a delight to meet you!
wifey thinks so too, and Tidgy's sorry she missed out.
Til the next time..................

Did Tidgy decide to stay in that day? How are you all doing?

Yikes, I better pay attention to the weather here today and tomorrow... “Tornado Warnings” are now in effect for the next few hours while former Hurricane Florence passes by. Raining heavily in parts of the region now.

I didn’t know you guys had tornadoes...

Nope that tells you just how loved you will be and what a good person and kind heart you have.

SNAP!

Well all caught up again. It was raining yesterday evening and this morning again, so I cannot complain. Tomorrow Jarrod goes to camp until Friday and my Hubby will be in Johannesburg until Thursday. So it will only be me and my eldest at home and he will be studying for tests etc. Yayyy some peace and quite and me time! Not that I won't miss Hubby and Jarrod, but I love me time.
I shall leave you all with the following until later:

SNAP!

Whahahaha, Snap again

Hmm, Good thinking there. It would not be a purrfect solution.

When cutting some of my yukka trees down, there was one branch that had a huge spider on it. And for the first time I did not go running off in fear. LOL I still don't like them, but as long as they don't touch me or come near me I am okay. Being on TFO and reading the various peoples different passions for spiders, snakes, tortortoises and turtles most certianily does make a person appreciate the little creatures more.

For me too!

Oh, we’re snapping at each other this morning! Always the potential side-effects of catching up. [emoji23][emoji173]️

 

[CarolM]

How are your piano lessons coming along Lena? Or has only your daughter started for now?

As I typed that - I thought that we could be doing this all day, if we wanted to that is.

I like to play the exercises more than she does. I learned to read notes more or less, and it’s actually not rocket science. I love it! [emoji85]

Are Jarrod and your husband leaving later this week? (I know I’ve just read it, but I’m still on my first coffee...)

That is awesome. I want to learn guitar, but have just never found the time to sit and do it yet. I really must sit down one day and try and teach myself. We can then get together . Bee and Bea will sing, You can play the piano, I will play the guitar, Adam can play the digiridoo, Lyn I think can play the piano as well and Linda can be the conductor. Mark I think is a drummer kind of guy and Kathy maybe the guitar as well. Anybody else with any musical talents that we can put in the band?

Jarrod is going on the grade 7 camp tomorrow and back on Friday. Stephen is going to JHB tomorrow and back on Thursday.

@Yvonne G - piano, I think, and @DE42 - guitar!

At this rate we can enter the X FACTOR.

Oh, it’s a short break for you. My husband is going to Philadelphia on Thursday, and then to Riga (Latvia) the following week. By the end of the month, he’ll have done two US and two European trips. (Crazy!)

LOOOL. Any ideas for the band’s name? “Tort People”?

That is a long break. Well they do say that distance makes the heart grow fonder. I bet you are very happy to see him when he does get back.
