special days in August

[mariana44]

that sounds really good !!!

I have got to think of something for supper next Wednesday, but I think it may well be Pasta Bake. Well almost definately pasta.

Taking the easy way out Marian? And here was I thinking you were going to show off your culinary skills!!!!

Hey M&S do a huge pasta dish you could pretend you made it. I would love to try it but it's far too much for one, anyway I do my own pasta dishes. Tuna, pasta & sweetcorn being a favourite, you top it with crushed crisps and grated cheese and brown it under the grill for a minute - delicious!

I never said I was going to do anything but easy---your one sounds good--although I am not all that keen on tuna.

Solid personality ...always called me little Max ... ...even though I was married with children ... ..( always made me feel young God bless him ) ....thinking of everybody who has anniversaries/ birthday of lost loved ones .....it hurts i know

[mariana44]

Hard to believe it is 7 months ago Maxine-it is amazing where the time goes. I know it will still be hurting, that is natural. !

[maxine]

I know Marian ....i had a few tears last week as when we went to blue water shopping centre ..Leons restaurant had closed down ....i used to love seeing his name in lights and I felt overwhelmed all of a sudden .....I know he wouldn't want us all to be upset but i heard some christmas music on a programme about the First World War and that was it..... .....

I often get like that---feeling Ok, but suddenly seeing something or hearing something that brings a memory back can just get to you.

This is strange, last Saturday night, I was ironing and listening to my Ipod, when the song "You raise me up " came on-apart from it being a lovely song, it has memories for me-and at the end I was crying my eyes out. When I recovered, I remember thinking, well at least they will not be playing that in church tomorrow, so I will be Ok. But to my amazement--in his sermon, Bryan mentioned a funeral that week, that had a song played--and you've guessed it---"~You raise me up" then Bryan quoted the whole of the first 2 verses !!!!
I did not actually cry, but I certainly had a few tears in my eye !!!!

[karl]

I know that feeling, at my dad's funeral they sang Morning Has Broken, shortly after a friend gave me complimentary ltickets to take mum to see Roger Whittaker to cheer her up a bit, what did he sing? I looked at mum and the tears were rolling down her face.

It will be 4 years tomorrow since my Dad passed away.

[karl]

We will be thinking of you John.
