I wonder if I will ever get it! xoxo<br /><br />Thanks Pam, you too! xoxo<br /><br />Sounds like you are having a great vacation with Beth Suzan! We did not get any snow here in Chester, just rain. Why is snow so much prettier? Don't know but it is! Love you! xoxo<br /><br />Oh dear Sybil! I can't think of anything that has made me laugh more this week. I am glad that you were able to get down without the undertakers having to carry you! haha that is something that need only happen once in our lifetime! Adventure sure seems to follow you wherever you go. Your lunch sounds delicious! I love wraps! when we got to McDonalds I often have their sweet chili Chicken wrap instead of a burger! It makes me feel quite righteous when I am eating it. Love and hugs! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-16113476299431998372017-01-16T19:51:45.429+00:002017-01-16T19:51:45.429+00:00Hi Marie, I am late today as I am just back from L...Hi Marie, I am late today as I am just back from London, an old friend of Sarah's ....my sister.....died just before Xmas and the funeral was today she was such a dear dear lady Beth, Max and I felt we should go so Max drove my car, we left at around 9.30 got up to the church in Battersea about 11.50 a bit early but we just sat in the car chatting till it was time to go in...I used my battery chair as the steps seemed quite steep and they had a disabled entrance..anyway long story I got into the lift with a kind of lady verger ( think that's what they are called in the Church of England)...the lift had hardly moved when it stopped, it continued to do that various people came to try to help, by then I had decided that every time they left it alone for 2/3 mins it went up a little more till finally after 20 mins in the lift we reached the church level...few was I relieved especially as the lady with me smelt non to pleasant !!! BUT the laugh came when I tried to get down after the service..the same lady said NO you can't use the lift ...I said how we going to get down ?..she said its fine...Wait for it !!!.....I've got the undertakers to carry you out.......well Marie I nearly fell out of the chair at the idea........I wasn't quite ready for the undertaker to carry me out the church LOL....however Max and Beth to the rescue I explained that I could get out of the chair and walk slowly with help down the steps if the undertakers could take the wheelchair......minus me LOL...and that's what we did...I'm sure dear Winifred must have been having a great laugh at what was going on !!!...hope I've given you a laugh .....after the funeral we found a place for a late lunch with another friend who had come to the funeral......after a delicious meal it was Lebanize ? ...or some such restaurant, for the first time I had a wrap filled with chicken,cucumber,onions in a garlic mayo with a small bowl of delicious chips...thankfully Max has a good appetite and helped eat half mine so all was very good....So that's my day almost finished, I'm going to try to read a bit of today's paper before bedtime....night night Marie God Bless.

I am in Geneva and so far it...Good afternoon Marie. I am in Geneva and so far it appeals to me. If I look out our hotel window I can see part of the snowy alps. That is so special. There were some snowy patches in France and I enjoyed those. We had another moment that was pure serendipity. I love that word. Beth hated the economy class on the Swiss train so we booked first. I hated dragging my suitcase...I don't think II will use those again,,,because we were upstairs. The surprise was we were served a meal. They had a veg option and between us Beth managed a real meal. I enjoyed a glass of wine. That is rare for me. I felt very spoiled.<br /><br />Did you get any snow? The south of England was white last weekend.<br /><br />I understand how tired Todd is. I have nursed so many people through this process. We used to keep them in hospital Monday to Friday. Sometimes I wonder it that was easier as some people are so worn and the carer needs a rest ooo. I prayer for Todd and I hope that he has some good days ahead before the next stage of treatment begins.<br /><br />God bless you always.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-92116324553032567592017-01-16T14:42:14.212+00:002017-01-16T14:42:14.212+00:00Hope you have a great week ahead filled with more ...Hope you have a great week ahead filled with more new and wonderful things!
