Photos from the past….I am homesick
Hello All.
Thought I had better check in.
So far so good….no men in black suits.
Am still here.
Mind you, our government could be slow readers.
Sunshine today and I still haven’t taken Jasmine for a walk.
I am one lazy granny.
Today my daughter-in-law phoned me.
Invited me to go on a four day cruise up the West coast.
I would so love to go.
Unfortunately, I will still be working.
I DO have plans though.
My friend is arriving here next Wednesday.
The one who took me to Swaziland(twice) and to the Caledon Spa.
She has booked two sea facing suites at a beachfront hotel.
I am going to be spending nine days there.
I will still be going to work in the mornings but I am finished by eleven o’clock.
Still plenty of time to do things.
I have no idea what but will think of something.
She has also booked a private room at the races next Friday.
I haven’t been to the races for over forty years.
This should be fun.
Apparently, you eat and drink and place your bets in total comfort.
I could get used to this.
Mex is staying home to babysit Jasmine(and the old people)
I will have to make it up to him somehow.
We will be meeting him a couple of times for lunch.
He won’t come out at night.
The hotel is right next door to the casino.
Hope I win something.
I will have to try and make a plan to blog.
I left my laptop with my grandson when we came up here.
For some reason I can’t log-in from work.
I can put in my name but it won’t let me put in my password.
Very strange.
I will be popping in at home to check my mail so will try to stay in touch.
I am so excited that I will have something to talk to you about.
Now I had better go and start supper.
Everyone here expects to eat.
Have no idea what their problem is.
The spa, the races, the casino–sounds wonderful. Have a great time!

Gosh I hope so Maire..escaping this one room sounds great.
Even if it is only for nine days.

Wow! As we used to say when the odd treat came our way: “Like a rich family in peace time.” Have a great time.

So glad you have something to look forward to Granny. I think we are going on that cruise up the west coast if its the one in the first week in December. Still 9 days in a hotel suite sounds even better, no chance of sea sickness 😉

We leave on the 3rd, back on the 7th – it’s a retirement celebration for OH who retires at the end of November.

What a pity about the cruise but still, 9 days in a hotel…..does your friend need a new bestie?

Yay! x 9 . . . one for each day of your beachfront stay.
Sounds like you will be busy enough with work, checking mail, lunching with Max, chilling with your friend, winning bit at the casino, enjoying a day at the races, etc.
Don’t worry about checking in with us . . . we’ll enjoy the “tell all” when you return. Have FUN!!!
You deserve a break today . . . or whenever your friend arrives.

Things are really looking up, granny. What a great friend you have! Enjoy the well deserved break, and have lots of fun. I’m so glad that our government are slow readers. Our pres doesn’t read very well at all. 🙂
