Just a quickie
Just to let you know I haven't gone into hibernation again... my computer has crashed (unfixable!!!!) so I am borrowing Beck's to send a quick post.
The girls are back and had a fantastic time away with their Dad. I am SO glad to have them home after 3 weeks away. I was hanging out for a hug from them and was generously rewarded with lots of hugs at the airport (especially from Coco, at 11 yrs old she missed her mummy).
I am going away for the weekend for my mother's 70th birthday. What a milestone... 18 years ago she suffered a massive heart attack and died in the ambulance but was revived at hospital. She then underwent heart bypass surgery 2 years later. It will be a wonderful celebration for her with family and friends. The only thing I'm not so sure about is it's a surprise. I told Dad he'd better stand behind her in case she falls over from the fright!!!
Anyway, it's late and I have to drive 4 hours tomorrow to get to Mum's and 4 hours home again on Sunday so I'm off to bed.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Love Nel xx
A very Happy Birthday to your Mum. I hope you had a fantastic weekend and that the surprise was not too shocking!

Glad to hear the children are back home and happy birthday to your Mum. She has done well to survive that near death experience. Hope the party went well and that the driving was not too stressful.

Hi Nel,
I hope you have a lovely weekend with your mum. My own mother (who, coincidentally, is also called Nel) lives 5 minutes away from me. When I read your story, I realised how lucky I am.
Have fun!!!!
Petra
