Merry Christmas

What a lovely day we had and I can't believe it has come to an end so soon. Two of my sons bought me this Philips audio. video player which has caused me to pull my hair out, due to the fact that it has poor instruction and I am finding it hard to put anything on it. No 3 son solved the problem with the music and I now have 2 cd's on my player. I did try to put a video on but I have to master that. I will not be beaten!!!!!!!!!

Had some wonderful pressies from the other half and the kids and gran kids all of which I love. I am easy to buy for but, and it is a large BUT, I recieved 5, yes FIVE boxes of choccies. God help me.

Welcome to my world

Hi my name is Sheila and I decided to create this blog as a record of the following year.

We let us start.

I was born a long time ago and have 3 brothers, 3 sons and at the moment 3 1/2 grandchildren. My mum died in june 2007 and I miss her dearly, but I am sure that one day (when my time comes) that I will see her again. Understand that this my belief and I don't expect others to be swayed by my beliefs.


Last weekend I went to a beautiful part of Scotland, just in time for the first snows.


I went with my friend who is renting a cottage in Scotland to live the "Good Life". She grows veggies, keeps hens and creates the most fantastic preserves mmmmmmm! As is usual we had to return to the "normal" or is that abnormal world. There was plenty of snow but we arrived home safely.

So Christmas is coming and when mum died I brough home her Christmas Cactus which has not flowered since she went. However, this morning, Christmas eve, I noticed the first of the flowers. It is beautiful.

So now for a rest before it all starts, the preperation for tomorrows feast. All that hard work for one day, but at least we will be all together.
