The final week before Christmas and the menu is prepared, tree looking Christmasy, house suitably decorated, David's put the nativity scene in place (his job every year) and gifts are starting to pile up.

Christmas 2010 at our place

A link for Christian Flash productions

I came across this link through a friend.  She directed me to one of the series of Christian focused Flash productions created by a guy in Switzerland who is also a chemist.         Click here:   www.E-water.net

Old friends found through Facebook

Well, friends from the past might be safer than 'old' friends! I was bridesmaid for her wedding back in the early seventies and we somehow lost track of one another as the years took their toll. Over thirty years of toll actually! Now some of the highlights and lowlights will be revealed like peeling back the layers of an onion. Holding onto the past is like trying to grasp hold of fog, but the tentricles of curiousity and longing to reach back into the past to retrieve a picture of lives lived with complications and happy moments, failures and successes, will be a worthwhile and fun journey for us both.
