Happy Happy News!

 Daughter-in-law-to-be:


first day up and walking after a second amputation and doing so well 😀💖 

I had a grin that split my face and proud and happy tears streaming down my cheeks when she sent this to me yesterday. 

This is the twins mum and we love her so much.

    I totally missed the story- amputation of legs?

      Linda Sue; she already had one prosthetic when I first met her, the second one is new, the leg amputated just a few months ago. She had that disease, Arteriosclerosis, where the arteries go rigid and no long pump the blood, so the legs gradually die from the toes up.

    Wow! She is really moving along! That even gave me tears. I wish her a speedy recovery. I'm sure everyone is missing her from their daily routine.

      Val; she is doing very well, but hasn't been MIA at all, she has been at home in a wheelchair and going to rehab as soon as the stump was properly healed.

    Having and raising twins must have taken heaps of effort. Well done, daughter in law :)

      hels; she puts a lot of work in and the twins were bornwhile the "good" leg was still good, but then the toe infections began and two years of treatments didn't help a lot. My son and the older boys all help a lot. Thank you.

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.
