They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;        Age shall not weary them, nor the years condem.                 At the going down of the sun and in the morning,                We will Remember them.

We had a busy week last week and Friday we were with Eldest at the garage me work and DH sorting jobs out!  Over the weekend we had nothing on so spent the two days in our garage sorting out boxes.  We did get quite a few done and several things sorted out and ended up with six boxes emptied and cleared.  There are still quite a lot to do but quite a few of them now contain toys from when the Boys were little which need sorting and tidying and some of them can already go to Little Man and some for when the new Baby arrives.

This week has been busy again and I have been doing work and sorting things out in our home as well.  Coco has been helping although getting in the way is more accurate.  Bonfire Night lasted for two weekends and the actual day of last Wednesday although it was not as many fireworks as might have been as the weather was not good.  I had two visitors last Thursday to see me whch was lovely and Jayne is coming for lunch next Tuesday and this weekend DH is out both days at a swimming Open so I will be quilting.

My hip is coming along nicely and the only thing which is slowing me down at the moment is going up and downstairs which is still difficult, but today it has been three weeks since the Op, so hopefully the next three weeks and my checkup after the six weeks I am hoping it will have got a little easier.  We shall see.

Even though it is just DH and I now, as well as Coco, I always seem to have a basket of ironing to do!  That is today’s job and then Thursday is home jobs day.   Friday DH and I are visiting a customer in the morning and I have a visit to the quilt shop which is near to where we are going.  That is too good an oportunity to miss out on!  I am going to have to get Eldest’s computer and work and do that over the weekend this week as we will not have time to go there as well on Friday.  

It is our Wedding Anniversary this week; 37 years!  The above is from our Wedding Album and no it is not sepia coloured just the light when I took the picture!  With DH being out all weekend we are thinking of having a takeaway on Friday noght, Date Night in.  Friday it is going to be heavy rain all day and the temperature is dropping so it is not making me want to go out.  The day we got married it was a very clear frosty day with bright sunshine but cold and our pictures were amazing.  We got married at 11.00am and then after photographs etc we sat down for the wedding breakfast at 1.00pm aand then finished around 5.00pm.  We did not have an evening event but went away on Honeymoon to The Lake District, where it snowed!  We had a great two weeks.  

Then the weekend after that we are taking the children to see Santa on the train.  That has come round very quickly since I booked it in July this year!  The last weekend in November we are babysitting, not the children but the animals!  Blaze and Gordon are coming to stay whilst Youngest & Fiancé are away for the weekend at a work event for him.  We will also be sorting out the deocations that weekend and the Tree and possibly all of us going for a meal out because it will be Youngest’s Birthday too.  It is all go.  Then it will be the headlong rush to Christmas but the best bit of it all for me seeing family and friends for Christmas.  This is why I like to get everything done before December arrives so that we are able to actually enjoy the Festive Season without trying to do it all.  Well that is the plan anyway!  

I hope you lovely lot are having a great week. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
