Blog Hiatus.....

Hi all, I know that (as seems to be the norm now), I am way behind on blog posts and that I am supposed to have done a Linky one for the Christmas Ornie Exchange blog - BUT....

... and this is a big BUT, my dear, sweet hero of a father is lying dying in hospital at the moment (he had been in hospital with the flu for a couple of weeks but now the end is close and it is actually his Alzheimer's which is the culprit, not the flu) and I cannot think of anything but being by his side in his final moments.

Please forgive me everyone - even though Dad has had a long life (his 98th birthday is two weeks way tomorrow) - it is so hard to let him go!

Love to you all and please pray for my Dad - I love him so.



hugs, Kaye
