A sadder thought is that maybe they, or their families, thought that was the best time of their lives. Can you imagine if we thought life was over at 25?? I have those beautiful heritage photos of my grandmother, but some of my favorite pictures of her are when she was in her seventies--they show a woman who has lived life fully!

[Vallie]

Yes, that's why my friend wants a nice photo to be taken of her now (she is 62). She wants it glammed a little but not enough to mistake her for a 20 year old! She doesnt want to look too different as she said her grand son is always telling her he loves her wobbly chin!
When her mother died a few years ago, she asked me to fix up a photo of her mother that they could display at the funeral. The only decent one they had was a full length shot.

I had posted the question about her stopping over in Dubai and which date.... but never got a reply..... do you know when it is???? Cos I'm due to leave for SA in 9 DAYS So maybe she didn't answer cos she knew she would miss me!!!

[Vallie]

She mentioned you yesterday Sandy. She said she thought you were already in SA but I told her I was just talking to you on Hello the day before and you hadnt left yet. She is still in Aus for a while I think. They were on their way up north returning to their daughters place.

[sands_healy]

Thanks Vallie.... I was trying to get dates from her that maybe I could even meet up with her in SA... so I wasn't sure which dates she arrived back, cos I leave SA on the 1st November....

Well I did have guitar lessons for a year:ron: :ron: :ron: :ron: :ron: :ron:
but the big decision is do I really want to trade my long artificial nails for fame in a band - cant play the guitar with long nails What to do

Guess where Ryan and my sister and I went today??????? Give you two guesses:twins: :twins: :twins: :twins:

[Vallie]

Holland?

[Ineke]

Good guess Vallie - close though we went to the Tesselaars Tulip Farm for the day and saw thousand of beautiful tulips - I felt very Dutch there

[RoadMap4Us]

Ineke -- I was going to guess that you had flown over to the US and were an hour away from me!! We have a beautiful little dutch settlement nearby. Your tulips would rival theirs! Gorgeous photo!!

Shhhh! Listen! What is that you hear? No, you do not hear the sound of me racing around getting ready for work. No, you do not hear me backing the car out of the garage to join the rat race. You don't even hear me muttering in my closet, wondering what I'm going to wear to work today.

You wanna' know why? TWO WEEKS OF VACATION!!!!

:twins: :twins: Best of all: A stay-at-home vacation!!!! :twins: :twins:

What shall I do? What shall I do? OH, maybe hang out with the grannies!

Now don't you go and distract me from all the fun things I had planned around my house: clean out the basement, put junk on eBay, file-file-file, paint inside, clean out kitchen cupboards, clean out flower pots, etc.

Hey, I might be able to join the band if we go on tour these two weeks. I can hum. I can play a duet with Kasha. I can tap my toe.

[scamptx]

Oh I'm so envious, Deb!! I would love a stay at home vacation right about now! Oh, well, maybe in February!!

Meanwhile, it's off to work I go!!

Cyrs--is it a baby yet???

[dagwood]

heres my ATC......and I promise I didn't use any airbrushing only a little blur, but that doesn't count does it??????

four seasons

and someone mentioned Mars and was wondering why she has not been around so much these days, I think she must be very busy...have a look at this LO she just posted.......it would take me forever to do this......Christmas elf

do you feel a little bit homesick when you go there or do you really go just to take photos to scrap!!!!

Deb, hire a house hubby, they are all the rage here,he can clean out the basement, put junk on eBay, file-file-file, paint inside, clean out kitchen cupboards, clean out flower pots, and clean out the pool just like in Desperate house wives...and then you can spend your next two weeks here!!!! See I am always full of good ideas!!

[Vallie]

Tesselaars is quite famous in Oz for tulips, they have the best bulbs. In Bowral there is a tulip festival in October. I have been a few times but more than 20 years ago was the last time. The tulips are gorgeous there too.
