Find Ancestors

Hi Sylvia, fingers crossed that all is well for you, try not to think about and do as Persie suggested over the weekend :-)

LOL Persie I am not that polite, just a bit diplomatic because it would be my luck if I phrased things differently the thread would get reported...again!

Mornin all......I was spitting my Alpen when I laughing about Fannys granny and her goings on. I see Fans kept up with the family traits!

Syl....you'll be OK I'm sure but heres a little very gentle hug (( <3))

Happy Canada day!

You all realise the 1st of July is heading for night time for me... I will have to set my alarm for 7am to be here around 6pm... Brits time....
It better be a good party and I will be in my Jim Beam Pyjamas.... You will recognise me by them they are black and red... My younger SIL did laugh at me when he first saw me in them. It's okay though I laugh at him lots.... his MacDonalds farm for my little grandson.. has a gibbon... my SIL makes very good gibbon noises. I do worry though when August goes to preschool he will be expecting the teacher to do a gibbon. :-S

Pondering......er......is that it?



Why do I feel I have forgotten summat?

Menu cards unnecessary


I'm sure someone will remind me what it is I can't remember ;-)

Okay okay Daffodils .interspersed with leeks..

and what about Oz.... better give them some Kangaroo Paws and Banksia.

Lovely flowers Cynthia !!!

The weather looks as if it is going to be kind to us :-)

Does anyone remember that 'our Fred' was actually born at precisely 1.55 pm. on this day, one year ago . (I am sure that Ginny does as she was the one who 'gave birth') :-D

As we have SO much food, and more yet to come, shall we declare an 'early start' at the exact time of his birth with a glass of Champagne, then we can carry on throughout the day until the others arrive and REALLY get the 'Party Poppin' at 6pm ?
