Good morning Campers!!
Hope this finds everyone in good spirits and enjoying their weekend.
Mine has been fabulous so far..Thursday I watched hubby play football....they won again and this is what I heard a couple of the youngsters say as they left the pitch
" dunno who that big OLD guy is but he's good..can tell he must have played a game or two in his time"
of course I told hubby and he was chuffed...LOL...
Friday we went to a few different garden centres trying to find some stepping stones to put down from the back gate to the deck...also had lunch out and then our usual Friday night Mexican food and margaritas...;-) Yesterday we watched the FA cup final..congrats to CHELSEA!!! then me and another wife went with the men to play golf..we didn't play but drove the golf carts and enjoyed looking at all the fabulous houses on the golf course..it was a lovely afternoon...the "kids" are back from Tampa and they had a great time too..today I am staying home and plan on spending the afternoon by the pool and then grilling some steaks for supper....the weather has been perfect..blue skies...sunshine and a cool breeze..it is unheard of for it to only be in the 70's here this time of year so we are making the most of it before the heat and humidity of summer are upon us...
I find myself thinking more and more of my Mum as the anniversary of her passing approaches... I wonder if it ever gets any easier? I do not think of her death every day as I once did but it still hurts so much when I do...what I feel now is more a feeling of sadness that I won't ever get to see her as the feisty little old lady I know she would have been.. I get sad when I see all the Mothers and daughters out shopping and having lunch and knowing I will never ever do that again with mine...I do feel her presence around me but I have yet to actually see her as I long to but for now it's only in my dreams....
Have a great Sunday everyone...
L
my five...

Your weekend sounds perfect ,yes men do tend to have their own language ,pleassed your OLD Guy played an impressive game ,and met with the approval of the youngsters lol ...love Jan xx
I worked saturday and my saturday boy spent the whole day trying to get the afternoon off for the fa cup match. He came up with every excuse in the book. I let him listen on the radio and eventully he wore me down and i let him go early to just catch the extra time. LOL!

Good to hear that the week end is a good one....and an afternoon by the pool is deserved....enjoy..God Bless...hugs from KY...Ora
I can really relate to missing you mom. I also look at others in envy. I want to go shopping with my mom again, have coffee and chat, just sit around and do nothing. I dont know if it gets easier, but I guess you get use to it. IT SUCKS !!!!
Enjoy your weather.

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit sad and missing your mum. Nice to hear though that you had a good time with your old man and that he gave you a proud moment. Lovely and sunny in Hertfordshire today! Hugs, Terry x
I'm sorry you are missing your Mum but at the same time I envy you that closeness, my parents were always too busy in their own worlds to ever be close to my sister and I. Something I made sure never happened with my two children.

So sorry you are missing your mum Lyn, but I can totally understand it. The mind knows where they are and that they are well and happy, but the heart still grieves their not being here with us in the here and now. Some days it's just not enough knowing that we will one day be together again. ((((hugs)))) I know the day is fast approaching when my mom who is a feisty 86 pound roaring "power to be reckoned" with will no longer be with me and I am dreading it. I know that there will be some measure of comfort in knowing where she is, but still...I shall miss her greatly. Only makes me appreciate her all the more while she is here in the now. It's great fun driving the golf cart isn't it!!! I would much rather drive the cart than wack those balls...and it's always fun afterwards in the club house too!
Enjoy your Sunday!!
Love,
Marie
I love looking at the houses on the golf course but have never wanted to live on the golf course as I have an irrational fear of being hit in the head by a golf ball. :)
Gillie
Houses on the golf course are fab!!! One can dream, eh? So sorry 'bout the saddness in missing Mum. I can't even imagine. Sending you hugs and good vibes.

Hi honey! I've been thinking about you alot. I will be thinking of you on the 28th as well. It just hit me right this minute. Your mom passed on your wedding anniversary and my mom passed the day before my wedding anniversary. That is weird. I'm glad your friend will be here soon. Love you.
Sounds like you are having a great weekend and beautiful weather!!! Hugs,

Isn't it fun to get those peeks into The Secret Lives of Men?! They really are comical. --Cin
My mum died in 1996. I do still miss her but I always remember her with a smile. I also believe we'll meet again someday, that helps.
Hope you had a good weekend. B. x
Sounds like great times. It is just really getting hot out here in AZ, in the upper 90s and low 100s the last couple of weeks. I'm sure the "melt your brain" temperatures are just around the corner. De ;)
My mother passed in 1980 and I still miss here but it doesn't hurt quite as much. Now I am getting to the age where I am looking forward to seeing her again, LOL.

My father passed away 5 years ago.. He has two living sisters. I saw them today, and I broke into tears--I see them; and I see my dad. It was a little embarrassing, but I couldn't control it! Dreams are good-be thankful that your mum comes to your through them.. :) Have a good week!! Julie ;)
Your life sounds so fun right now. Steaks, sun, pool! sign me up!
Traci
i'm sorry you miss your mom......wish i could hug you!

i love you

Missing your mom gets easier and harder in equal measure. I'm still trying to make my way through the process. She must have been a wonderful woman...like you.
Russ
I lost my dad almost 12 years ago and it's still hard. There are reminders of him that make me smile.
Hugs,
Gretchen
I love the way you went straight from grilling yourself to grilling your steaks! As for thinking about your Mum, I dunno, if the pain will ever go away, hopefully, it will just turn inot nice memories. I still have this pain to come.
I still aint posted that CD for you yet, we were away this weekend. You may have noticed too, I am now starting my alerts from now, and working my way back so you will get em looked at in the wrong order! Hugs n kisses to me bird in FL Gaz xxxx
It's been over 20 years since my mom passed and tho she wasn't the best mom on the planet (what we now know were brought on by medical problems), I still miss her and my mother-in-law. But most of all I miss my grandmother, talk about fiesty old lady!
Your blog made me smile thinking of another Brit, my beloved aunt. She and my dear uncle have passed however they were near and dear when my mom passed. She had the jolliest laugh and best sense of humor. She was trying to be motherly and warm when she said (after my mom's funeral), "Now you kids keep your pecker up." But everyone broke out laughing.
Thanks for sharing, take care.
I was forced to watch the football by my parents.It was the most boring couple of hours in my whole life!!I hate it!!But well done To Chelsea a;ll the same.Beckie.xx
When you miss someone you are reminded that they indeed where a wonderful part of your life, why else would you miss them.....Your Sunday sounded lovely grilling steaks, sunning by the pool, golf cart hopping, thanks for reminding me what I'm missing in Fla. LOL! I used to live around the St. Petersburg area, I still have family around the Ocala area. As for hubby, I bet you someone was proud as could be about her old man. (Hugs) Indigo
I am just catching up after being away for a week! Glad you had a great weekend and all is good!
be well,
Dawn

I got a lump in my throat when reading your sweet words about your Mom. Hold on to those sweet memories and she'll always be with you.
Good for your husband! You must be so proud of him that he can get out there and play like a young'en. Very cool!!
Take good care!
Hugs, Kathy
Sounds like you had some fun Lyn :) Me? Golf? I think it is the most boring "sport" out there :x but then, I don't "like" any sport ROFL... Cindy loves to golf, just doesn't seem to have much time these days to do it, I stay home in our nice a/c'd home <g> I hope your week turns out lovely. Hugz, Teresa
It does get easier, just never easy.
