Find Ancestors

Oh well - the 'torch' has arrived then !!! - I can hear loud music and the cheers of the crowds coming from over the road (the University), where it will be paraded around for another hour before setting off through the town and away on it's journey!!

Strange, i hadn't even considered that there would be all this entertainment to go with it - motor cycle displays, stilt walkers, dance troopes, music etc., etc., - quite a 'Carnival' in fact. I had just imagined loads of people lining the streets to watch people running along carrying the torch (silly me).

Hope the grand-children are enjoying it all ! - Grand-daughter will be SSSOOOooooo excited!

Not guilty M'lud! Perhaps your OH vaccumed it up when he was cleaning the carpets :-D

Good morning everyone



has anyone found the skunk in their belongings yet????




oh ............ and I'm missing a nice shiny spoon :-D

Dea
oh they must be really excited hope the rain stays off
:-)

Cynthia have been on FB for a bit still trying to work out who is who did eventually work out how to find the thread as opposed to "my wall"

Still I am a newbie and just finding my way around but getting there SLOWLY :-)

Sylvs? Since when has Fans been called 'Pet' ??? ;-)



It's been raining the proverbial cats and dogs here......... :-(



Has summer been abolished or summat? :-S

Not sure about grandson as I think that he is a little too young but certainly grand-daughter will !!

Dea Xxx

that'll be fun, and good for them both!

She will certainly remember that for years to come ....... and maybe grandson will as well.

OOOhhh - thzat's hot Sylvs !!

'The torch' is coming here tomorrow !! - that's probably hot too ??

Grandchildren have both made replica copies ! :-)

They are both going to see it come in - grandson with his nursery and grand-daughter with her school - she has a reserved seat to watch it arrive ! - they are bringing it in to her and she 'might' be allowed to touch it !!

Dea Xxx

Daughter usually phones on a Sunday, but didn't yesterday




Instead, she phoned this morning

Today is a Stat Holiday ................ in lieu of yesterday.




I wasn't even out of bed!!





It was 33C in Halifax yesterday ........ she said it was unbearable. It was 19C here :-(



They'll be here in less than 2 weeks.

Mo

That's fine! Hope you say yes!


Have a great time in Baltimore!


We were in New Orleans once for July 4th ......... that was FANTASTIC!!


I don't remember too much of the July 4 we spent in Austin Texas when we lived there ............... so it can't have made much of an impression on me!
