Hope you all had a good weekend. We had some very strong winds and heavy rain overnight but it is a lot calmer now, the sun is struggling to come out.
I have a dear friend on the internet. We have known each other for quite a few years now. We met on a games site and still meet on another site. We have talked on the telephone on numerous occasions. We share many of the same health problems. I knew her dearest wish was to be a Grandmother and she feared it would never happen. I was delighted when, months ago. she told me her daughter was expecting. So, I was over the moon for her when I received an email saying she has a little grandson. Welcome to the world, Harry Michael!
My friend has given me permission to post his photo on here. He weighed six pounds, six ounces. His Mum and Dad went through a greal deal to have him so he is extra precious. I am so very happy for all of them.
Isn't he beautiful?
I thought for a Monday morning I would post something different. This appealed to my sense of humour I suppose. It is different and I also think, very cleverly done. So sit back and watch - Shakespeare - as you have never seen it performed.
I shall be sorting out my Christmas card list soon. If you would like a card from me and are a regular reader and commentor, please send me your details in an email and I will include you. I already have quite a few of your addresses but there are others I would like to send to. You will understand that because of postage costs I have specifically stated regular readers. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Most of my Christmas present shopping is done and dusted, only a couple more things to buy. I purchase online so I also have the bonus of parcels coming to my door which I have always enjoyed. The festive season is coming so fast, it only seems like a couple of days since we were boiling in a heatwave. I wonder why time always seems to go so fast from the beginning of September until Christmas.
Now I had better get off here and get some housework done. Do not want him indoors to return and find me still sitting here.
Until the next time, dear readers.

Gabi loved the video. My Christmas cards are all addressed, I just need to write letters for some of them. And I think most of my gifts for family are purchased, I did a lot of shopping in Alaska. Just plan on getting a gift card for my son, so he can buy what he wants at one of the department stores at the mall. Linda in Washington

Welcome to the world baby Harry. . you are just in time for christmas presents and your Mum and Dad will have a lovely time having a little baby in the house.
I cant believe Christmas is so near.
What a beautiful little baby boy! She has to be totally thrilled. I have a couple of friends I met a few years ago on a message board on AOL. I met the one in Florida last summer. I find it so amazing how fast we acquire friends online and seem to get to know them so much faster than if we had met them in person. I need to get my Christmas shopping started. I seem to get slower each year. Love, Chris
Aw, what a little sweetie! Enjoy the season!
Hello Jeannette....The baby is adorable tell your friend CONGRATULATIONS for me. Its gotten rather cold here in Georgia. Already Christmas is coming upon us. I will be sending you a Christmas card in the mail for you. I hope that you get it in time. Take care and I shall return. Your friend, M.
Dear Jeanette, Sorry not to have written last time. Don't know how I missed it. THe wee ones gorgeous curls have now gone........what a shame ....but he still looks lovely. I bet he will blush when he sees himself in years to come! Loved your Shakespeare..I was just wondering what you were going to come up with when I read the heading !! Have a lovely week Love Sybil.
A big welcome to Harry Michael. Eileenx

What a darling baby!!! I don't know if I will get to my Xmas cards til we get to KY. I hope so. It will be fun to send out MIckey Mouse cards even though we are moving from Florida. I thought I would send out something as a momento of our last year here in the world of the famous mouse. Hugs,
Lisa
