Thursday Thanks

Firstly, I would like to thank all those people who left such lovely comments on the lst Birthday of my journal.

As you know, we have been looking after Nathan every day this week.  It has been a joy and we have had a lot of fun.  We do have a day off today but we need that to catch up on other things that have been neglected whilst we looked after the little man.  We shall be having him more often as Becky gets nearer her time so, I shall not be posting every day for the foreseeable future.  Much as I love being on the computer, it does take a lot of time, not only writing myself but reading all the journals I have on alerts, plus my normal e-mail.  Before you know it, the day has gone and when Nathan is here, he has to be my priority.

I did get this nice shot of Mike and Nathan:-

Of course, Jesse just had to get into the picture.  Unusual because it is normally Pip who loves the camera and tries to get himself into everything we take!

Becky now has a roof on her home.  I saw the latest pictures yesterday (unfortunately I do not have them to show you at present).  The builders are doing a first class job and are well on schedule.

We still have not had any much needed rain but we live in hopes. Reservoirs are drying up, the ground is cracking but surely, it has to come soon.  If any of you know a native American rain dance, please do one for us!

Not much else to write about today so I shall leave you with a joke:-

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door.Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration." And with that,he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.

 "If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this
horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I  promise I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a darn good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning."

 

Scotty (James Doohan) has finally been "beamed up".  May he rest in peace.
