Oh I love “chat “ threads …
Not everything on Christian forums must be deep theology or arguments :D

A little chatting to see and hear that we are all real people living behind our on-line avatar is a good thing I think. Healthy .
Anyway , I’ve been away from this site for a while …so revisiting to see if I recognize any oldies around , or what the latest arguments are about lol

So nice to see you here! When I first joined you were so warm from the very start, and you secured your place in my heart!

Much love!

Good to see you Pat

I think you will always miss Ray …I still miss my old parent who lived with us 15 years !
It’s the talking- bit that I miss.

Did your daughter in law marry again …they got divorced didn’t they ? Or did they get back together ….i forget , it’s been too long. Sorry . Grandchildren are such fun , but I cringe for the world that they are inheriting.

you are braver than me in traveling ….I’m a coward these days …I would dread traveling I think.
We are the same age but for 3 months I think , yet I think health wise you are in much better shape than I am . I try to hang on to the Lord and live above it! Some days I let that goal slip (;

hugs H

Helen, your presence has been long missed but never forgotten! You are the sole reason that I still am on here. Not as much as before but still at least once a day.
My heart is jumping with joy to see your post today.

Well, I lost my boy Adam (whom I can still cry easily thinking of) 2 years ago March 9th. Then my sweetest Babygirl passed behind my knees overnight where she always slept on Labor day last year. I have my 9 year old Jazzy still, thank God as I would die of loneliness without the stinker! Lol.
It must be so nice to have the company of your granddaughters beloved pet!

My daughters have never been divorced, they have both been married for over twenty years. It is my son's ex who has been causing all the family anguish and they were never married. The ages of my grandchildren range from 35 to 2 and a great grandson who is 5. My youngest grandson was just 21 last week.

I don't like being on the motorway and find ways to distract myself. But the sides of the road were so pretty with the hawthorn in bloom. I don't mind road or rail travel but never been in a plane.

I'm doing pretty well health wise but often need a stick outside. As I heard somebody say recently, "Growing old is a privilege." And it's so much better when we are with God.

Thanks for your reply , yes I was thinking of your daughter -in Law Bev who has caused grief in past years .
I’m on a Facebook page in fact two or three , English countryside and British wild flowers etc .
my English pages cheer me up and bring back many happy memories.
sadly the reason I told Dave that I’d never go back again was because the England I remembered and the England that is now…are two totally different Englands , it made me too sad seeing it…I never wanted to come back after 2006 …we used to go back every two years , and did so from ‘76- ’06 which was our last visit .
Rachel ( niece ) goes for long walks and sends me wonderful country scenery…even in rain :gd

My son's ex is callec Rachel and Bev is my lovely daughter who treated me to the weekend break a few weeks ago. I am cooking for her and Anthony tomorrow evening as a thank you.

I think the pretty parts of England are still pretty but the culture has changed so much. We are no longer English but a mix of races. And the problems that brings are obvious. We've always had open borders and welcomes Chinese, Polish Italian and many others including Jamaicans, but they all seemed to fit in with our society today's 'foreigners' seem to want us to change to suit them. Oh well change is here to stay.
