This morning I got a phone call on my mobile, I was at work and when I looked at the screen and it said "mike mobile" I got that sinking feeling straight away. My grandmother passed away in her sleep in the early hours of this morning. She has always been known to us as Marnie and as far as Grandmothers go she was the best. I have so many amazing memories and as an adult now I realise just how hard she worked at creating such a wonderful relationship with us. i am pretty much gutted right now, but know that it is best for her, she really was struggling and was really down and in pain with her back. It wouldn't have been long before she would have to have been moved to an assisted living facility and I don't think she would have coped with it. Marnie, I love you so much, thank you for being you, for all the fun times and for always telling me how beautiful and wise I am. You have your wings now. xoxoxo

It has been a while since I last posted and the SC retreat has been and gone and I had a ball!!!!! It was so lovely to meet some of the girls IRL and catch up with some that I had met already. The costume "P" party on Saturday night was so funny, I laughed til my sides hurt!!! It was Sara's last duty as a DT member and she Did SC proud. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Sara a bit better and had lots of fun being her offsider in her classes. Although she was the culprit for geetting a no so enjoyable song stuck in our heads it was good to have a laugh. I also had a ball getting to know the awesome Niss, Terri, Ronnie, Jen, Deb and Sue, Lauren. You girls Rock. Carole Janson was there too and she is just the sweetest! This woman has oodles of talent and is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. It was a pleaseure meeting her. below are the only retreat photos taken on my camera LOL!!!
