Had a little cruise out to see Statue of Liberty then we had a bus tour over to Brooklyn. American diner for blueberry pancakes with lots of syrup hihi. My darling OH had a surprise for me that he had booked tickets while at home for "Les Miserable" With no other then Alfie Boe as the main character !! It was fabulous ! and then we had a piece of strawberry cheese cake for after hihi. Today is also very hot and I struggle a bit but we took our time and saw the Grand Central Station, absolutely Amazing and then we walked to go up in the Rockefeller Centre, Amazing Views over the whole of NY. We are now back for shower and then go for dinner somewhere. Tomorrow we thinking of going by underground to 9/11 memorial, American Indians Museum and maybe have a chance to see the Bull, from some films ex with Jackie Chan . I guess you all asleep so I wish you a good night ! <br />love and hugs to you all Maria xxxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-87362277446674167852015-09-09T23:09:17.764+01:002015-09-09T23:09:17.764+01:00Michele, I downloaded a pirate sheet from Crafts U...Michele, I downloaded a pirate sheet from Crafts U print, if you want I could try and email it to you.<br />My email is jesswatson@blueyonder.co.uk.<br />XxJessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-10118335405299487262015-09-09T22:57:52.096+01:002015-09-09T22:57:52.096+01:00I remember wearing a red /white/blue dress, and we...I remember wearing a red /white/blue dress, and we were given a coronation mug!

We looked after George's Irish Aunt but she never got unpleasant, in fact she would kill you with kindness. Have a glass of wine and relax. Try to put it out of your mind before you go to bed. It's a good job Alastair was there to calm him down and sort him out. George is 75 at Christmas, so no - 75 isn't old nowadays.<br />Love, hugs and prayers.<br />Maureen xxxMaureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-38090331064068051992015-09-09T22:22:57.572+01:002015-09-09T22:22:57.572+01:00Night Night my Dear!

However his good manners came to the fore when we arrived and he was pleasant and calmed down. We had coffee and he fell asleep . The thing is he gets up several times a night and as well the stress of daytime sleep is being lost. He is only 75, which isn't old today at all!

She would forget things, like putting the gas on and not lighting it, but she'd always been like that for as long as I could remember, so it was normal for her!!! She was as bright as a button about money and other things though. I hope your friend gets more help. xxxMaureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-993399202053248872015-09-09T22:04:31.897+01:002015-09-09T22:04:31.897+01:00Cheryl, just listen to Grandma Saba and Grandma My...Cheryl, just listen to Grandma Saba and Grandma Myra, they talk much better common sense than I do as they are so much older than me, but you know I am always on the end of your e-mail. xxxxMaureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-16934082800026775262015-09-09T22:01:21.195+01:002015-09-09T22:01:21.195+01:00Margaret, funny thing is that I don't remember...Margaret, funny thing is that I don't remember the Coronation at all.

Friend having a problem with her husband who has dementia. He was a lovely placid man and this has changed him completely. He gets on very well with Alastair, always did, and in fact he was out with Alastair this afternoon while his wife and I were at our Ladies Group. He was fine this afternoon but got really awkward this evening and their son was away so we went round. All is calm now and in fact he's now asleep in his armchair. I don't know for how much longer she can carry on. He does go to a Day Centre twice a week . Sorry about that tale.

I forgot to say the funeral is next Thursday, I'd already booked on a day trip to Winchester with Freda, so will have to change that now.<br />And I totally forgot to mention your card Anne, I think it is amazing, so much detail into the picture and I love the background. A thoroughly fantastic card.<br /> <br />How's Lucy with her ocular lens Sandra? Does it match her eye colour?<br /><br />I think an early night is in order after I have finished some cards. I started them this afternoon then went to my REA meeting, where we had a most informative talk on the launch and relaunch of Brunel's SS Great Britain.<br />I had found in my stash some 6x6 plain cards and some 6x6 topper papers with funny comments on and had already attached them to the card so now undecided what to add for a quickie card. And earlier I have also found some 6x6 scalloped cards and toppers that are going to come in handy to make another batch for our local Scope shop. They are always so pleased when I drop them off to sell and as I gift-aid them tool they can also claim the tax back.<br /><br />I am so lucky to have found such wonderful people as yourselves to talk to. Thank you very much Saba for inviting me into the café of friends and A special thank you to Sandra for opening this café and to my dear heart Maureen who has listened to so much over the past months and has given me encouragement, advice and sympathy. I just don't know where I would be if I hadn't taken that first step and opened the door. Probably still stuck inside my four walls which are slowly crumbling now I have pushed my self to conquer this agoraphobia. It is not going to define me any longer but to strengthen my decision to make giant steps. So look out on the retreat, I shall probably be a bag of nerves to start with!!!<br />Love & hugs to you all<br />Nighty night<br />Cheryl xxxcheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.com
