this super little dedication demonstrates the pure love and pride that can exist between grandparent and grandchild... both of whom I presume are blessed with reciprocated emotion.... N

So pleased for you - our grandchildren bring us such pleasure. I have only one granddaughter and she is such a lovely lady about to do her A levels so this resonates with me.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS UNCLE ANDY : I was raised Catholic so I love AVE MARIA and any Hymn that brings Glory to Our Blessed Lady ! I love the simplicity and serenity of Evangelicals like BRIAN and I love the JOY of the Services : But I have several reservations one of which is their almost completely ignoring of the Blessed Virgin Mary : WHY ?
I agree with you about the power of singing to raise ones Spirit ! It ALWAYS happens to me singing in the Congregation or Choir and in NZ Music is a very important element in Worship !
Abundant Blesings & Love to You & Joyce :

Really glad to read you are on the up my friend. Life\'s burdens can catch up with us. So good to read they are back in perspective. Winter blues and cold weather keeping you from river walks i suspect.

An uplifting write Gold. Someone said (google does not seem to know who) \'Song is a sign of an unburdened soul\'. Ohh, it\'s educational on \'ere too, he quoteth.

Oh clever you Goldi - to do a puzzle of that complication would drive me to distraction - love the verse too which came from the effort.

Cleverly put together.
A boss of mine years ago used to do huge jigsaws without ever seeing what the box picture was. Thinking about it now i should have gone for a bit of \'one upmanship\' and told him \"oh i always like to see the picture but i like to complete the puzzle with the blank side facing up\". Now thats a challenge for you. Does your other half do jigsaw puzzles too?

orchidee said:

A fine write and pic/clip Gold. Was she trying to win the Lottery with Camelot? Or does someone else runs that now? There\'s more chance of completing the jigsaw than winning the lottery!

dusk arising said:

Dont risk it, i fell through the ice many times as a kid. I\'m not so resilient now.
By water all the frosted foliage seems to be experiencing a much colder, whiter winter I\'ve noticed.

Neville said:

How inconsiderate of the council or whoever is responsible for signs in your neck of the woods... You would think they would have the decency to put up a winter variant... Go for a slide, get some one to punch ya in the eye , take a selfie send it to the council with the threat of posting it on the internet, you tube or summat if they dont cough up... if they refuse.. just sue them.....
