OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES.

Words are like an echo 

No matter how hard you try

It spreads.

My Grandson Lee, said this to me, and I thought it quite a few wise words from an 11 year old.

YOUR DREAMS.

Lee turned 11 on Monday, how time flies, just the other day he was born and the delight of all, now he is a clever nearly teenager.  He loves sport especially Cricket has done very well chosen to try for his province, but sadly did not make the team, but have all confidence in his ability.   He wants to be a Protea (S.A. cricket team).

I cut it out on my Cameo with a cutting file -  Tina Fallon and the image is a Justinked.

THE WEEK.

Hi All, another week has gone by, a little bit of trouble here in South Africa, sorry for the miners that were shot and injured.  The family who are left without the bread winner is a bad thing and the sadness and unnessary acts all in all are not good.   I sometimes think one lot stirs the others on, Politics is  a terrible thing they are all out for their own gain, power is a terrible thing.  I hope that it can all be settled now with no more bloodshed.  May the Blessing of the Lord be with all.

Next week I am going to get down to a bit of work,  I have had a bit of a cold and you know how you feel, like a washed out old rag, just feel like being on the bed.

Welcome to all my new followers, love to see that, and also the visitors and blogwalkers coming by, you are all welcomed and loved,  hope I can find something of interest this week to post,  all cards and things these last few weeks.

We went to the farm this past week and went out and bought 3 duck, a traumatic affair for the ducks, not nice for them they were in a box for about 15 mins and then let out into a strange pond.  Now we hear that one of them is missing, maybe it is a snake, we do not know,  if he was not injured or eaten he should come home again before it gets dark. 

One of the bottom ones are missing, I do so hope he comes home.

Another bit of news for the week coming is that Lee is playing in the Cricket Trials for Gauteng next Sat. 23 Aug.  so we are holding thumbs for him.  Good little player he is only 9, so here is holding thumbs.  

Night my friends.  xx

Lee is 10 to-day,  he came here quickly to say hi to his father, Gordon, now he must be taken home so he can have his party, with his Mom.   Life is a bitch, one can only hope that Lee will not be affected in anyway by this unfortunate set of circumstances.   Next Birthday, (I  hope) he can spend the day with us.

I bought the topper from CUP.
