Mind you, I'm guessing it depends on where you live...... here it's March, which means cold & wet - but for any of my Australian readers - well, you're coming to the end of your summer !! So I guess it might be cold & wet for you as well.... oh well...
Anyhooo.... I'm here in the warm, the ladies of the house have gone out to a 'keep fit' class & J is upstairs on his computer - for him that's situation normal, but.... well, life goes on & on !!
It's been a good day.... B & I went into town & I was able to pick up a gift for her - a Welsh gold necklace thingy. It matches a ring I bought her many moons ago & she seems to like it !! It's our wedding anniversary on Saturday & I've been hoping to buy her something special to celebrate.... the necklace was it !! B did moan at me about the price, but I've been putting my coins away & this is what came of it.
I've come to realise that our time together in this life might not last much longer & - because of it - I wanted to buy her something a little special !! We will have been married 23 years ago this Saturday...... it's not all been "wine & roses" but we're still together. That's not anything to do with me - B has stayed by me over all the years thru' thick & thin....... She is my wife & my dearest friend !! I love her & without her I would be completely lost........ lately, we seem to have had some the hospital visits & their sad times, but we have a cry & then a smile & get on with whatever life has on offer for us !!
We may not be together much longer, but the time we've had has been - looking back on it - the most wonderful part of my life. I would like to think we would get to Temple, to be Sealed, but that's not going to happen....... my time here will not be long enough for that, but - well, we've got what we've got & we're thankful for that & grateful to our friends & our Lord for giving us this time together !!
Oh well.... The music of the moment is a wonderful CD by Jethro Tull..... it's 'The Best Of Acoustic Jethro Tull' & it's really good..... I'm not sure how many albums I have by Tull - but this one suits the mood tonight..... a warm fire & songs from the wood !! I've never played this CD before & it's been really fun to go thu' it...... so many albums & so few brain cells !!
The Allman Brothers Cd's I had last week are brilliant - hours of fun for all the family.... well me at least !! I'm nowhere near playing them all thru' !! My thanks go tho' to 'Hittin' The Note' - the Allman Brothers site & in particular to V for her work & friendship !! I've promised her a box of chocolates at some point, for all her help - just got to find a way to get it to the office !!
One of the Cd's - just one CD out of lot & lots had a scratch on it, so wouldn't play........ so I e-mailed V & she is sending me another copy !! How cool is that - I've never met this lady & yet she sends me a replacement CD on just my say so - no evidence needed... just word of mouth...... they deserve a box of chocolates !!!!!
OK - I must away...... in town today there were two different groups of street preachers & by what they were telling the passers by, well - "we'll all going to hell."... so I better get my bed rest in, I don't want to be tired when I get there !!
Must away......
Bye Bye
