For Absent Friends
I am standing on the sea shore,
A ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her
Till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says:
"She is gone."
Gone! Where?
Gone from my sight -m that is all.
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her

Wow
Just spent some time. reviewing older LJ posts including back before my anThe surgery was very very sucessful looking back. I regained almost all of the feeling in my left hand - one finger tip is a tad numb still and likely will always be numb. Small sacrifice really - biggest bonus is that I have only had 3 migraines in the 2 years since the ( Read more... ) -
Weekend in review - with pics :)
Weekend in review (a little late).
I had the luxury of a 4 day weekend and it was good. Unfortunately the Nige had to work for most of it. Friday I headed out to visit my mum and had lunch with her.

Weekend in review & other stuff
So I just dropped the Nige off for his ride back to Hamilton for school. He's done 2 weeks and has 6 more to go. It has been odd having him gone after having him home since his knee injury in May. It is kind of like when we were dating in that we only saw each other on weekends.... last weekend was Crown so this was his first weekend back home ( Read more... ) -
And then there were two
So We decided to get a second dog and yesterday we picked up our new little girl. Another whippet, as yet unnamed, from the same breeder we got Gilchrist from. We took Gil with us and Diane (the breeder) was thrilled to see him and it was very gratifying to hear her praise him and his wonderful behaviour. Gil really is a great dog, well behaved and ( Read more... ) -
