Saturday

Hi there to'yall, Here we are a couple of weeks on from last blog, time really does fly by, only 3 months+ till we see you again in Minneapolis. Sue, I saw on your blog about the kitties, did any of them survive or did she only have the two that you say died. Anne must have been heartbroken as she feels like we all do about our animals. Toby is is really getting quite a big boy now , he was one a few days ago but he doesn't appear any more sensible but he still adorable and such a wonderful temperament. Blog again soon. Grick.
P>S June received the lactaid tabs on Thursday, thanks for those.

Thursday

Hi there to y'all, Well we are having another go at broadband and it seems okay, you will be receiving our new e-mail address shortly. Penny is improving greatly as the days go by and she is able to climb the stairs again, this after a considerable Veterinary bill, we really thought at one stage it was the beginning of the end but happily it wasn't. Happy blogging, Grick.

Friday

Hi there to y'all, Well, quite a lot has happened since my last blog, we have booked for another holiday in Minneapolis with Nick and the family, at first I was gutted because I thought I wasn't going to be able to get travel and health insurance because my normal insurers suddenly decided they would not insure me any more. This of course would mean that I wouldn't be able to visit the States again, however I did eventually find a company who would insure me so we come in June this time and stay over for independance day, that should be fantastic, we are looking forward to it tremendously. Penny dog is staying over at the Vets. because she has hurt her back, we think maybe trying to keep up with Toby so she needs complete rest for a while and some medication therapy to let her relax, it seems strange without her but hopefully she will be home tomorrow, then we will have to devise a plan to keep her quiet for a while. Well Toby is going to have to try and let her rest instead of jazzing around so much. Will keep you all posted on progress, happy blogging, Grick.

Sunday

Hi there to y'all, Well, Christmas and New year has all gone by, where does all the time go to. Yesterday, we spent the day with my friend Phyl. putting roller blinds up in the conservatory, this was at Junes command of course, having got them up I must say she knows what will look good as they are very impressive . We invited Phyl and Marylin for a meal last night to celebrate the conservatory blinds... Today we attended church this morning and had Margaret over for lunch, that is to share lunch with us of course not to have her for lunch, we had toad in the hole which is specialty of mine and a great favourite. Well, there's the first blog of 2008. Happy blogging, Grick.

Friday

Hi there to y'all, Well it is almost December and then Christmas will be upon us before we know it, are you all ready for the festive season, all the presents bought and the turkey ordered, of course in U.S of A you have turkey for your thanksgiving celebrations, I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving as we all did together last year. Well, yesterday June had her pot off and although she is very thankful to be shot of it she feels very vulnerable and her wrist is very stiff and the movement very restricted but I am sure it will quickly improve as she starts to play the piano again. We have just got back from our weekly visit to the local primary school where we help with assembly with the children and we find it very rewarding as it is wonderful to spend time with the children and they all seem so pleased to see us every Friday morning. We are going over to Radcliffe this pm to see Thomas and Amy and of course Simon & Wendy. Happt blogging, Grick.

Monday

Hi there to y'all, We've just seen the pix of Jess and wow they are absolutely fabulous. Sue, tou really know how to get the best out of your camera, it really does show that you enjoy what you do and J's hair looks great as well, love to y'all. Grick.

Monday

Hi there to y'all. Well, another week gone. We went to Thomas' birthday bash yesterday and had a super time with fireworks an all. June is mending quite well although she becomes very frustrated when there something she cannot do, which is quite often. The leaves have almost cleared the trees now giving the sign that winter is on the way. Hopw Nicks' ankle is getting better and hope everyone out there is keeping well. Happy blogging. Grick.
