I`m Back!
Oh my goodness, I don`t believe it, AOL has given me an `add entry`....at last! I`ve been trying to post an entry for almost two weeks and there were no edit or add entry buttons all that time.
Anyway, I`m here now so I shall begin. I`ve had a hectic two weeks with the lovely weather we had. Work has been frantic with everyones thoughts turning to their gardens. My garden has been keeping me busy every day after work, what with planting and weeding and generally trying to make it look beautiful! Now I have my greenhouse up and running I have quite a few plants that still need to be planted. My tomato plants are growing really well and I`m hoping for a bumper crop.....well, I`ll be happy with a few if I`m honest, I don`t know much about them but I think I`m doing the right thing...lol! I`ve also become Sandra the Slug Slayer, not exactly Buffy I know but I`ve done too much work to let those slimy creatures eat all my efforts. I`m sure they know I`m coming, armed with salt and a plastic spike, because I don`t see many of them, just the leftovers from their feasts on my dahlias and petunias!
Roman is doing really well, he is getting so tall and so grown up. He never stops talking and at the weekend he was telling all about the garden table and chairs that Kerry bought last week. " It was too big for mummy`s car so they had to take the wrapping off" he told me." "Did it fit then?" I asked " Yes, but I got squashed" he said....he does make me laugh! Sunday was my Danny`s birthday, he`s 31, how did he get that old? He`s my baby! Jim and I bought him a laptop for his birthday as he`s been so helpful to us lately and as he was away on holiday for his thirtieth birthday last year we decided to get him something special a year late. Anyway, on Sunday we all went to Kerry`s and we had a BBQ in her garden. Despite the cold wind we had a lovely time sitting at the new table, even though birthday boy was inside watching football on TV, as unsociable as ever but I still love him...lol!
In the last few weeks I`ve had a bad cold, got rid of it and am suffering from a bad throat again. I`ve had a flare up of arthritis in my hip, knees neck and fingers and a trapped nerve in my shoulder. My shoulder is on the mend but I`m being very careful how I move it, just in case it gets trapped again. When it first happened it was so painful I hardly slept so I don`t fancy going through all that again.
I`ve not read many journals the last fortnight either but have started to catch up again. I just hope my journal is fixed now and I`ll be able to post my own entries also. I did ask the journals editor if there was a problem but he didn`t get back to me, oh well it doesn`t matter now. I do want to catch up with what my journal friends are doing, it seems strange not to know what`s going on.
Anyway, that`s it from me today, so much has happened the last couple of weeks and my mind has gone blank, either it`s a senior moment or I`ve forgotten completely. I think I should`ve taken notes so I could write a better entry. Bye Bye for now and take care all of you. :o0

Hello~
I am also trying my best to get back in the swing of posting and reading journals. I personally apologize for not commenting more :(.
Your grandson is the cutest little thing!! I have a 3 year old and she just steals my heart. Even though she isn't "my blood" (she is from my oldest stepson and his wife), to me she is still mine. Since she has 2 Great Grandma's and a 2 Grandma's, we agreed for her to call me Missy Gayla. That's what the little one called me years ago when I was a nanny and it just fits..LOL.
Your garden is just spectacular, not to mention your greenhouse. Sadly enough my tomatoes didn't make it. I'm still working on trying to figure out what happened. With the insects here and the darn heat, it was one of the two. But I tried and it was my first time growing tomatoes and learned so much! Next year will be better :)
I hope you get to feeling better. I've also had the flu kind of thing, but was recenetly told that my blood work and symptoms show that I am going into menaause. ARGHHHHHH! (LOL) I go back to the doc next week. Another adventure to be had in my life: menapause..hee hee.
Big Huggers,

Hi Sandra, good to have you back! Lovely photos too and Roman is adorable! I love to hear about his little sayings, they are so sweet at that age. Hope we'll hear from you again soon! Love, Pat http://journals.aol.co.uk/pm7

Hey Sandra !!!!!!!!!
Its good to hear from you again. We had some rather stormy weather yesterday and today it was quite hot and sticky today. I did get my economic stimulus check today and I can't wait to go shopping. I have to say that Roman looks adorable and getting bigger by the minute by the looks of it. I have been working as well and its keeping me busy. I have become something of a green thumb recently which is new for me. I do hope that you are feeling much much much better these days. I do hope that your family members are doing well and I hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. Anywho.....do take care and I shall return to your journal again soon.
Bye
