Alone... but not alone.

There is something very comforting about sitting in the chair at the salon you've never been before in the town you've never lived in before... and chatting away to the ladies who might be your next really good friends.
I heard some local gossip (which means nothing to me right now!), I learned about family and talked about mine. I had a really yummy coffee and if these ladies are not my next really good friends, that's ok too... because I know I will always walk away with a really good colour and cut!
It was a good day!

No more bad news please...

In a space of about three weeks, we have learned that Peter's dad is terminally ill, my sister Deen was in a terrible vehicle accident and has a lot of broken bones, my Aunt Anna is in hospital seriously ill and my Daughter-in-law Doshia is in hospital with pneumonia but not without first thinking it might be a tumor or cancer.

We are very thankful that Doshia is being treated for pneumonia and will be well again with a lot of rest. Aunt Anna is still not well, but she is a fighter and will hopefully be well. Deen is very positive and says she is a little stronger everyday... and my father-in-law is still in hospital but is hoping to be well enough to go home.

We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers... family that we love.

Happy 4th of July

Whatever you are doing on this 4th of July... have a happy and safe one!

Pretty Yellow Jumper

This beautiful yellow hand knitted cardigan was made by my dear friend Libby. I brought it for Mickaela last year and she wore it then but this year it is fitting her better. She looks adorable... yellow is a colour she will always be able to wear! A beautiful jumper for a beautiful little girl made by a beautiful friend.
