For Those who liked "Shepherd Hear my Prayer." That Song or Hymn of course is tied in my memory with a gradually soaring melody and fades away quietly at the end to Hear O hear my prayer in a whisper. It sounds magnificent with the 20-30 piece brass band that many Salvo Corps' (churches) had in yesteryear coupled with hearty disciplined congregational singing.
leah, i'm glad hedgehog liked it, it can be hard to please them, cant it? i'm guessing that you knit lots of snuggly gorgeous stuff for her? i really like hand knitted stuff but it's pretty mild here so we only wear the really cosy things a few months of the year
That is adorable! And you're daughter is absolutely beautiful. I love her smile and her pride. Good job baby!!! Can hardly wait to see the next one. Are you going to use the same colors and/or fabric? Give us a hint.
It's almost 2 am here and I haven't felt well the past 48 hours. I fell asleep earlier and so now I'm awake. What a wacky world. I'm here at the computer surrounded by my Peeps. Mickey's right next to me, Sage is in his basket with his favorite "blankie," Sweetpea is a few feet away and even T-Bone has joined us in my office. He's usually so tired at night he barely moves from his bed unless he isn't feeling well. Then he wants to be right next to me, so I'm a little worried. Ohno and Phatty Foo-Foo are running around the house like a bunch of crazy cats. (What's new with my life!)
I discovered a lump on Ohno's hip the other day. Rob thought it might be swelling from a bruse he got while racing around the house at full speed or from a fall (he's always flying off something or someone), but I don't think so. It's soft and feels as if it's growing. I'm worried of course and will get him to the Vet's. Life. It's always something, isn't it? Wish us lucky honey because you know how I worry about Ohno. Does he live with such urgency because something awful is going to happen? Look at me, I haven't even found out what it is and I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes! I really have to stop worrying so much.
When you have time, go to Dr. M's blog. He's started a new one. He's singing. He's very good. He has two post so far, both beautiful He sings Amazing Grace. That man is beyond multi-talented!
Well Peep, I gotta go talk to my other Peeps and attempt to "ketchup" like always! I'm so looking forward to your birthday and the dessert carnival. Like I said at the Cafe, "We'll start early because of the time difference!" Yeeeeeeeee Haw.
Love you dear friend. XO
P.S. I's so wonderful to have Peter back!
P.P.S. Honey, did you go to my blog to pick up the award? I can't remember. Am I getting old? (You're supposed to say "No Suze, it's just been a long day and you're just fine dear.")
now, to answer properly: the second dress will be the same because the young lady in question is totally uninterested in clothes and didnt want to choose something different, i think she regrets that now. we'll see if the lesson has been learned or, more to the point whether the priority in her life is to get out of the shops or to be different to her twin.
young ohno is most probably fine, maybe it's an abcess or something simple like that, get ghim to the vet so you can deal with the known rather than speculate on the unknown.
i saw dr m sing, it was funny because our internet has slowed down till the end of the month so i could only hear a couple of notes at a time. he's good.
how come youre not well? make sure you take care of yourself, eh?
and no, i havent picked up the award yet, you know how i like to write a post around them and i have to get the inspiration for it before i write it. i will get it, believe me (but dont ask bindi cos i still have to get two of hers :)
Kyles, I'm slightly appalled by your lack of grammar in your comment about what the second dress will look like. Since when has "uninterested" been a word? You need to remember your family reads your blog :)
HAPPY ******** TO ***! ****** BIRTHDAY ** YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY **** KYLIE! ***** ******** TO YOU!!!
Well, you're the one who said your computer power's running down! That's the best I could do for the old gal (NO! I'm not talking about you...the computer silly).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!! (Slipped that in before she could yank it.)
I have more over on my blog I just have to post it, but haven't been able to yet because my little peep (Ohno) wouldn't stop playing the roll of personal assistant. Good Lord. I can't tell you how many times I said "NO," how many times I said "Okay Ohno, GET OFF...NOW," how many times I said "If you don't get out of this room Mommy's going to go loonie," and finally had to say "Okay, photo shoots over because Aunt Kylie isn't going to eat that dessert after you've licked it. Let's take a break, it's your bedtime...THIS INSTANT!." I marched his cute little butt into the office, tucked him into bed and of course, he was over-tired and fell asleep instantly. However, I can't leave the computer yet because I have to load some photos and hopefully write your birthday post, and because if he isn't "really" asleep he pops back up like a piece of toast and we have to start all over.
I'll respond to your last comment at some point tonight or tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I love you dear friend. And Happy Birthday!!!
Love, Suze
P.S. I should have your birthday post up in an hour of so, just check now and then. I'm worried you'll have problems seeing the photos with your computer slowing down. I could always email them if you have problems. Let me know. XO Or, I can change my blog to only include your birthday post. Hummmmmmm, I think that's a brilliant idea.
iT'S 7.40, i've not long got up, i made one school lunch and the girls gave me some stunningly lovely gifts of chocolate blocks, undoubtedly bought at the corner shop for extortionate/extortionist? prices (peter and Na, fix that up for me, will ya?) i havent even made a coffee yet, stopped in to check on you guys and there you are!!!! how lovely
suze, your broken rendition of happy birthday cracked me up. how you both managed to time it so perfectly i'll never know
oh, when i started to talk about the girls i got side tracked (how unusual!) they made me enough cards to have one evry month for the next year! :)
suze, i havent seen a birthday post yet but i have about an hour and a half before i toddle off to work also, i cann see photos, it just takes a few minutes to load
Honey, I don't think I made it before you had to leave for work. But it's up now. It just took a lot longer than I'd anticipated. I took everything else off my blog temporarily so that you will have an easier time downloading (hopefully). Also, check out the cafe. The girls are all breaking the rules and showing their Dessert Carnival entries (which are of course your birthday desserts). I hope they get stopped by the cop (Cielo!). I on the other hand have not even photographed my entry because Ohno was such trouble (Don't worry, he only licked twice and right at the end. Just chop it off if you must!) And now, guess what, I left it out of the frig and it went limp on me. Rob called in a few minutes ago and said your ****** **** is looking a little soft. I replied it's supposed to look soft and beautiful. He said "Honey, I don't think it's supposed to be this soft!" I rushed to the kitchen to find the tip of my ****** **** limp as a biscut and went into panic mode. It's been in the freezer the past half hour on 5 minute timer trying to harden. Every 5 minutes I take it out an make adjustment! It'll live. It's the only perfect slice I was able to get and I'll be damned if it's going to die on me now.
I need about an hour more before it's photo op and by then Ohno should be up again. I can't win! And Cielo is going to kill me. She asked that our photos be in a few days ahead of time. I try so hard to be good, but, me bad!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Timer's ringin', gotta go straighten my ****** ****!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE!!! I hope your day is wonderful!!
I love the dress! I have all my squares cut and pinned, but have not started sewing yet, so you are way ahead of me. Believe me I know and don't understand "tweens" on their thinking of clothing,lol.
hey suze, i dont have a problem with cute little kitties licking my food....yesterday i caught taffy in my handbag licking my chocolate bar. i just waited for it to dry off, gave him the worst bit and ate the rest! is that gross? sorry to the squeamish.....
Well done!! What a lovely dress. Your daughter looks really pretty in her new dress.

K,
ReplyDeleteI put a request on your special blog.....
luv ya,

Kyles,
ReplyDeleteI'm slightly appalled by your lack of grammar in your comment about what the second dress will look like. Since when has "uninterested" been a word? You need to remember your family reads your blog :)
Actually, being an English teacher, I think you'll find that 'uninterested' does exist as a word - it basically means 'not interested'.
ReplyDelete:-)
well, i'm not getting involved in this grammatical argument but Na, i guess you would expect "disinterested"?
ReplyDelete# HAAAPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR KYLIE!
