What a wonderful lady she must have been - and the sights she must have seen in her long life. I only hope I can keep all my marbles until the end and keep blogging.

It seems to me the older ones can remain interested are the lucky ones. I hope I never lose my marbles.
I always cried when we lost a lamb.. too soft, me.

Hi Chooky Blue, thank you for the info on the site of The Life of Riley. It has made me wonder if I could be related to this amazing lady. My maiden name was Riley. Warmest Regards Lyn

Hey Chook, thanks for the birthday wishes, and it is great being back at school although I've had a tummy uset the last couple of days. My big boy is home sick all week - so a shaky start to the term for our family.
