WOW SHE IS TIRED

Well I don't know how to tell you this but Dottie has been asleep all day. We were supposed to go to my DH for lunch/dinner but DH was not well. I am glad she cancelled cause Dottie has been up for a couple of glasses of water and some tea but is now lying on the chair watching some TV (BBC Prime). Can you believe we have the log fire going and she still has a snuggle balnket. Muffin our dog just tried to jump up next to Dottie and got the fright of her life. (Muffin that is)

Must say I really have been amazed at how her hairstyle has been changing. Don't you think it is looking great. I wish I looked this good in jammies. Actually just wish I looked this good in ANYTHING.

Hugs to all her fans out there from our Dottie the wonder girl

WEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF BEAUTY

Well if like me you love Alyson Moyet's songs then in this case it really so appropriate. SHE has arrived at our home. Even DH was a bit taken aback by this young lady who is so well travelled.

Well Denise did take her on about a three thousand kilometer road trip. Its a long way around SA. When SHE got here though I must admit Dottie was very happy to see the log pile as the weather is decidedly nippy with the wind coming straight from Antarctica. In fact as I write she is curled up in bed fast asleep with Winston the one eyed pekingese beside her. I think she felt a bit over whelmed by the animals with 5 dogs and 2 cats. I suppose they are quite big for her but she soon got used to them.

I am not to sure what that pole is she is holding. I think she picked it up some where along the way. Anyway after a sit down by the fire for a little while to warm up and a glass of gluewein she really just wanted to sleep. We will have to see what the new day brings, but due for lunch at DDs house

IT'S A COMING

Or rather Dottie is a coming. She has spent this week with Denise travelling all over the country and believe me that is a lot of travelling. I once drove to Cape Town and it took me two days with a stop overnight. The second day of the trip my car refused to start as the immobiliser was faulty and had drained the battery. Didn't know this at the time and after three days of push starts took it the garage and that was the diagnosis. Of course DH had said of course it's not the battery but LOL we girls all know when to believe the DH and when not to.

Anyway Dottie should get here Saturday night and spend next week with us. Then I am not sure where she is jetting of to but sure Chrissy will let us have details of her trip shortly. My GK's have been planning away like crazy with things they want to show to Dotty and places to see. I think though that a lot of water may be involved as GS is talking about a trip on his small boat and GD mentioned we must take Dottie to see her horse Ruby Bay who is truly gorgeous but hope not too big for Dottie. The we need to show her a few Malls here so that she can check out that we are quite civilised and able to shop til we drop occasionally.


Oh well mustn't spoil the surprises and hope everything goes well. Need to organise a bed and everything so hang in there and come join us for fun and games next week.

Hugs

OH THANK YOU

Well I am so excited because Dottie is here in South Africa and is staying with my friend Denise just now. Can't wait to meet her. Hopefully will manage a coffee and a hi with her today. Wonder when she can come and visit? My darling GKs are so excited and planning loads of trips for her.

One of the places we are going to visit is the Buddhist temple in Bronkhorstspruit - I know difficult word to pronounce but you stand there and are gob smacked by such an amazing place in the middle of the Highveld (highfelt).

Oh haven't been this excited since I don't know when - but that could just be an age thing also.

oxoxoxo

OMG

Well I am so excited and living in hope that Dottie is on her way for a visit. Chrissy Rollins on her blog has said she will tell tonight where Dottie is going to. If she is coming to Africa then we need to sort out lots for her to see. Also will need to get up early to go to the airport if it is true or maybe Denise will go meet her. Oh can't wait to see if we have another celebrity coming to visit.

Only problem is after visiting Jacqui it will be hard act to follow. I just hope she behaves and doesn't upset anyone. Oh there I go again! If she isn't coming here I will be so devestated. Oh please Chrissy answer a prayer.

what do you think oof this ATC made with Moroccan Sunset from snapandscrap.net. I love the rich papers etc

CONGRATULATIONS

In the last couple of posts I have included my DGD. One sitting on a toadstool and the other IS her eyes are on my last ATC. Well today she has done so well I am bursting with pride.

In 2006 she ran in the races at her school St Columbas and she came first in one or two of the races and second in another. This took her through to the final race which she won. However she was told that has she had come second in one race she was not Victrix Ludorum.

Last year she won all her races and came second in Victrix Ludorum, but rules had been changed and she was not Victrix because she did not win that race.

WELL THIS YEAR SHE HAS JUST MADE IT and in her final year at St Columbas she is the Victrix Ludorum. This is after a knee operation and working harder than hard to get there.

She has made me so proud because she shows true grit and determination and just never gives up.

WELL DONE MY DARLING GRAND DAUGHTER HAYLEY JADE.

FABULOUS NEW KIT

Well as you may know if you visit snap and scrap often I am a member of the CT there.



I have just seen a fabulous new collaboration kit there called Morrocan Sunset. I LOVE IT.
