Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Hi everybody. Some of you will, hopefully, remember me as a moderator. I have not been on the forum for some time now for a few reasons. I retired from pre-school and sold it on in August. I have to say that it is one of the best decisions I have ever made-just love being retired!! Our daughter Carrie was married in May and, I hope, I have attached photographs. She and her husband, Dave, are expecting their first baby in February. I am so looking forward to being a grandma. I hope you are all well-I miss the forum. Linda Quote
Rea Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Its a very long time away but it looks like you've been busy and with more to come after christmas. My mom says being a nan is so much better than being a mom, because you can enjoy the love and cuddles then give them back. Glad you're enjoying your retirement Quote
HappyMaz Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 How lovely Linda! Beautiful photographs - I was very intrigued by that tie and had to zoom in to see the detail of the pattern. Love it! Glad to hear you're still enjoying the retired life - you're a role model to us all! Quote

Susan Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Great to see your lovely photos Linda. Have been thinking about you today, is that spooky or what!? Glad all is well. Quote
Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Have decided to keep a little journal in photos of my walks with Cody so here are a couple of pics of her. The one in the puddle is one of her favourite places on our local common. Linda Quote
Cait Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Woo! Auntie Linda's back!!!! Fantastic news Cody's looking well too Quote
Deb Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks for sharing your photos Linda - I especially like the informal one of your daughter with a very proud mum just in the picture in the background. My eldest son will be getting married next year so I was looking for style tips from the mother-of-bride! Very nice outfit! Quote
