That meant emptying the airing cupboard too. And then they wanted the carpets and floorboards up as well. John was here alone as I had been rushed into hospital and so everything was moved rather quickly into the only room left, our bedroom! Well that was a bit of a mess.

Dad was here a few days ago and we already planted some lettuce and spinach. Cleaned up the garden a tad and are now waiting for it to get dry enough for dad to till. This is a picture of Ash and Brooke from a couple years back. They were planting some sunflowers.

Events of the past week. Pride Fest 2011 draws estimated 150,000 attendees. SWAT Team finds man, passed out with a machete, in a Houston hotel.

Thoughts from an opinionated old lady. I get a kick out of all the countries where people live who visit here. Daughter Susan suggested I start listing the countries where you live.

So from the teams who will probably be sellers, here are the players, whether probable or purely a dream, I would like to see in a Pirates uniform come August. Yeah right, none of these teams are selling. He has 2 years left. A team that is really underachi.
