*********************************************

The grass seed that Mike planted in the front garden last weekend is springing up nicely.  The weather has been very warm but thankfully we got several hours of much needed rain yesterday.  Daniel did seven steps across the floor at his home today so I can officially say that - he is walking!  Becky is going to have her hands even more full now.

I would like to thank Mary of Hunybea's Open Journal for the lovely long conversation yesterday that really helped to lift my spirits. Mike has gone out to get me a microphone so maybe Mary and I can speak in person as was discussed yesterday.

Well, that is about all from me. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday which, as usual, I am not looking forward to and I hope it will not mean even more medication but I will take it as it comes. Remaining calm is my biggest problem and I must work on that. Even getting there is a problem for me as most of you know, so I have to be strong and calm as there are certain things that need to be discussed and I cannot do this if I am in tears as has happened in the past.  I must be positive.

The boys love their sandpit as you can see.

Have a good weekend everyone.

P.S. I now have my microphone connected, had a conversation with Mary.  If anyone wishes to speak to me, please drop me an email and let me know and we can arrange something.

So you're not expecting HM to leave a comment?! How lovely that Daniel is taking his first tottery steps, it's nice to see them walking and makes them look suddenly much more grown up! Good luck at the doctors on Friday. Jeannette xx

Well I think that's just downright rude of The Queen not to respond. lol.

Hope all goes well at the doctors. I don't like this getting old malarchy, I'm on blood pressure tablets and this morning I had an appointment come through the post for a bone density scan, it's all sounding a bit too senior for my liking, so I'm off for some retail therapy now.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Forgot to say, Crickhowell is a favourite place of ours, we often used to go there for tea and cakes and a wander round, that was back in the days when Mike & I used to have time to go out together.

Wow Daniel is walking?? He must not be far behind Sandra's grandson Roman in age?  What kind of grass did Mike plant? I'm trying to green up my grass and will be planting winter rye.
I do hope you are doing better.
Keep up posted when you can. Miss ya.

Jeannette, I loved your answers.  Actually, we are very similar, as many of my answers would be the same.  I will pray for you and your doctor's appointment.  I understand the crying, as I cry so easily and have problems discussing things without crying.  Hold on and hang on...prayers are being sent you way.  xx  Chris

I enjoyed the wit and wisdom of your answers to the questionare.    I too have difficulty remaining calm and it is something I need to work on.    The photo of the boys is wonderful taken during the final days of warm weather and outdoor play for the summer.    I am enjoying the cooler weather after sweating outside during the heat and humidity.    I am having to take it very easy so as not to have my spinal cord pain increase.    I am waiting to hear from the neurosurgeon about the approval from Medicaid concerning my diagnosis.     mark
