"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Yes, please do let her know that I am praying with her. I have her on some prayer chains. I wish we knew something.

As for me ... things are a lot hectic right now. When this quarter started, I worked hard to get ahead in homework. I have lost all of that due to writing research papers on top of everything else. Sooooo now I am behind the 8-ball, which means I am not getting much sleep. Some nights none. Scares me that I could fail if I can't keep up.

Daddy is doing really well, by the grace of God. Thank you for asking.

I feel so bad for not knowing what my dear friends are going through on the ship. I'm going to try and be better at checking in. Love and care for you guys!! Please know that my absence does not equate to indifference. I would never want anyone to think that!

S-M-I-L-E Have a wonderful day.

xo

Hey Darling

ahhh.... dear, dear Brooke... we know how busy things are for you - and we know how much you care and love us too - don't you worry yourself - just jump onboard when you can and let us know how you're doing - you're always in my thoughts Babbling - FQ and I were talking about you - we were talking about what happened with PaPaBabbling too - I'm so glad he's recovering - I know it must still be hard for all the family with everything else that has gone on too. You're a strong family.

Now listen.... the word "fail" izzn't in the vocabulary OK - you will never fail. Keep doing what you do and try to take some of that pressure off your shoulders girlie - <gosh, you and FQ are so alike...> you will succeed, you do achieve, you can only do what you can do, and you, more than nearly anyone I know, will keep on stepping forward - it's who you are, even during the tough times. I hope you are taking that R&R time on a Saturday nite still - please do - you do need to take that time so you can focus the rest of the time. VERY IMPORTANT OK... but you know that.

Love you (((((((Babbling))))))))... you have a wonderful day too. x

I am also praying for verbivore. Her husband seems to be a very caring person and will help her.

MaMaVerby has a wee Baby Boy

I have just spoken to Ind. She sounded wonderful - she's in the hospital and Eby is with her - their little VerbyBaby is on a special ventilator in NICU - the doctors aren't able to operate on him at the moment because his lungs need to mature a little but they'll find out tomorrow when that is going to happen. Vegemite asks that everyone who prays, keep the prayers going - she repeated it many times to me. He weighs 3Kg.

She said to tell everyone she is alright and to thank everyone for thinking of her and her family.

There is great hope here

Oh... love our Little One - she needs as much strength as we can muster right now.

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

yeah... PaddyBoy... big smiles here too

Thank you, Izzie. Congratulations to verbivore and eby!

Yessssssss!!!! Thank you - thank you- thank you!



I am so giddy right now!

Prayers continue!

















Miss Izz ..... You are always so uplifting. (Tosses the word fail out of vocabulary.) (((((( Izzie ))))))) I love you.

What, like THREE people have done the same thing?

Incredible.

We've decided if anyone is having a bad day from now on... it's gonna be called a "I'm having a KGK day"

Well, I confess, I'm partial to boys

Keeping positive thoughts humming for Verby and baby.

Morning all, that is wonderful news about verbivore Izzie, please send her and Eby my heartiest congratulations and best wishes. So hope all ends well.

Tai Chi is partial to boys, hey I like that, I'm your boy.

Brooke, nice to see you too, you'll make it girlie, I know how determined you. Sending you some vibes as well.

Hope Sunday was good to all of you.

So so so so so so so proud of him. He has achieved so much. Love him to pieces. He's fantastic.


lllllllalalaalllllllllllllllalalalllalla...... the winner take it's all.....

muster stations...

heap big water in the conservatory


QUIT RAINING ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you prepared Izzie? Hope the downpour stops soon.

We raked leaves here in a steady drizzle. Boy, they are heavy when they're wet!

And speaking of boys, thanks Dutchy but I'm a one woman man these days (since my boys/sons left home)

"And speaking of boys, thanks Dutchy but I'm a one woman man these days (since my boys/sons left home)". I knew my luck would run out sooner or later.

Good grief did you actually read what I typed? Obviously I didn't. I'm a one man woman! Gosh, Dutchy, wouldn't you have been surprised!

Hey TC - ha, those floats are smiling!

yep, got towels out on the window cills - blooming rain is torrential - utterly black and miserable out there and the river is heap big loud too! We're apparently in for a cold spell this week (well, you know, not quite the same as a Canjun cold spell) so I'm gonna have to get the logs in (ack, 8-legged things abound). Will get some help with that... there's stubborn (c'est moi)... then there's 8-legged things (ugh)... I'm not that stubborn - will ask for help

Can't afford for the conservatory to be fixed (has been once... twice actually, already) - but, got a lotta towels, so, no worries.

Glad you managed to get your raking done - it's not so bad doing that when the leaves are dry and the sun's shining, but drizzly rain.... eeeeeuw. You must feel chilled

so... in honour of you TC.... I'm going to go and make a hot chocolate... if I could send it over, I would do!

Thank you for the floats - just look at those 3 smiley faces!

<chuckles... was wondering if the BEAgle was gonna say something...>
