For Sue,

 who is no longer with us, but will always be with us



Sue was a friend to so many, always caring, always kind. I never met her in real life and I wish I had been able to at least once.

she will be missed so very very much.

    I am not sure if I "knew" her or not, as no blog is mentioned, I want you to know that I am very sorry for your loss.

    River, I feel your loss. You described her well, "always caring, always kind". She has left a huge empty place in so many lives, including mine.

    There are people who I know via blogging who I really wish I had met, and Sue is one of them. Thanks for you nice words about someone who will be so missed.

      Andrew; I have a short list of people I would like to meet, Sue is on there, you are too, I wish I hadn't chickened out last time, and a couple of others.

      Sounds like an item to tick off the list!

    I remember her, too, if just as a sometime-visitor. It is sad we have to say good bye.
    Even if not met in real life... when Ingo was so severly sick it was the blogger-world that kept me sane, that helped me take the challenge - I think I know how you feel.
    My Tuesday-journal I only kept due to a former blogger, too. She was super-fit, then had an operation and passed away. Just like that. I am sorry. Life is an... "hm-hm-hm" sometimes. To keeping the memory.

      Iris; I think there are very many people who knew Sue through her comments at their blogs, others kept in touch with emails, I did but not often enough, she was always caring and helpful.

    I just read on Andrew's blog, R. So, so sad, a beautiful lady. May she R.I.P
    We will miss her terribly.

    Margaret,
    Same here. A loss of a close blogging friend is as deep a loss as a friend at work or family.

      hels; I didn't know her personally, but only as part of my blogging "family" , yet I cried so hard I could barely see.

    Hi River - thank you for posting this so necessary post for us all ... she was a very much loved blogging friend - she had a way with words ... as we know - and we can all see via the comments here and on her own blog. So desperate when we lose such a good companion. We learn so much from each other. This is a beautiful farewell song for her -- thank you ... with thoughts - Hilary

    Yes we will miss her, her never failing encouragement and search for beauty. I don't know if I can ever see a kangaroo without crying again.

    I like the musical farewell 💔

    She will be missed. She was such a kind soul and I still can't believe it. Truly missed. 🤍

Sunday Selections #757

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Beginning today with a few photos of my TV screen, on the news: In the far north, the APY Lands (I think, it was a while ago) the indigenous people held their own Grand Final football match: in the heat and the red dust much fun was had spectators as well as players it was lovely to see, quite a change from the city matches with over-crowded stands and all the cheering and booing that goes on. on another TV show: she really killed...

Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
