Beautiful flowers...thanks for posting them and about Helen (Mona)..just am sick to my tummy..had a little nap, had called another friend Ann, she the girlfriend who drops in all the time when here for the weekend..we both love painting and have much in common...friends for about 30 years I guess...anyway she's been having problems in her family, you'll probably remember me telling you about Mike (another one) who has a growth on his arm, been to see 2 other doctors since before Christmas regarding it, nobody seemed too concerned, well, it has grown 5 cm since mid March, total growth of 16cm..just got the results and NOW are concerned so he goes on Thurs to see what can be done..given the name of a specialist who works out of Princess Margaret and Mt. Siani...both well know cancer hospitals..her daughter sees her specialist re date for operation for the growth in her throat..Ann is frantic but dealing with both issues with a great amount of courage...she's prone to depression...she feels comfortable enough over the years to confide in me and for that reason alone we've bonded...

So all and all not a good day..

Only bit of good news and Ann was so laughing when she told me, the extra unit next door which I've seen them cleaning will shortly be a 'Family Restaurant'..they are hoping to have it open by July..imagine, a variety store, a pizza restaurant and now a family restaurant..who could ask for anything more...


Shar can't believe how much he's grown..they quickly lose their child like appearance don't they..but, he has kept his interest in gardening and helping grandma out..can see you smilling ear to ear...great that he got to spend the weekend...

Must tell you a little story..when Jeff was here on Saturday, playfully he asked what I was doing letting the boys watch such movies as Sex In the City...guess his boys said while waiting for pizze one night the movie came on, grandma had fallen asleep on the channel changer and they didn't want to wake her up...come on now, these are 4 growing boys! What ever happened to the up and down button on the remote control...I'll have to have a talk with these lads...

Your gardens are so colorful, how lucky you all are to walk through such beauty..

Best not pull out all those patches..although I can't see them being flowers but who knows, those frilly crazy daisies might have dropped their seed..

I had just moved this can that Mona was painting onto the table for Wednesday class..she said she had birdseed all over the place and this would be an excellent place to store it...

Sure wish we could all finish things before the end comes..sad that we cannot..

Mary hope the family does plan a memorial...need closure don't we...

Thanks for the help..
Off to bed...been an emotional up and down day...
