Delicious Autumn

No animation on this one Donna! but still lovely ,and with a favourite quote too ,
Well I promised would ,let you know all the things that have kept me busy the last few days .So here goes ...last week after the funeral I went on the Thursday to a meeting with the Residents newsletter group ,where we began to plan the Christmas edition of the newsletter ,it is going to be interesting ,two residents gave us accounts of their holidays ,Jackie went to Canada,to visit a long lost cousin who she had rediscovered on Friends Reunited in Cambridge ,she got all excited at her finding Sandra ,only to find it was Cambridge in Canada ,not England ,but not to be deterred off she went after much planning and excitment ,and not a little trepidation ,to have the experiance of a life time .And then Ann went with her son and daughter in law to Singapore and Australia,Ann asked me to type up her account and it makes interesting reading Then on the Friday ,ugh that was two days in a row I was up and dressed and out of the house early ,(I dont do mornings anymore lol .)The Residents Forum had a study day ...now I have done these courses before when I was at work but it doesnt hurt to refresh ,does it ?The subject was ;negotiation,well to me that means getting your own way ,so you either flutter your eyelashes or sulk hee hee ,however we all had a good day ,and a delicious lunch ,jacket potatoes quiche salad,followed by trifle ,at the weekend we had lots of visitors all checking on Maurice's progress ,Jean and Pete came also Michael and Jackie which we all enjoyed ,,On Tuesday Maurice got brave a drove me over to the Huntingdon Garden and Leisure ,where I bought some craft bits ,we had a cappuchino and I took some pictures of the Christmas decorations ,if you can bear to see them and I find out how to put them into the body of the post after a heading and the entry ,I cant seem to add a final siggy tag either ,but never mind ....one day ?.....Oh yes I had my flue jab yesterday morning another up early and out !!
So for now I will close....with love Jan xx

Let Go ,Let God....

Well, I seem to have slipped back in to my old ways, not posting often! However I did have a very busy week last week,I last posted on the Saturday now when I look at my blog I’m sick to death looking at the back of my own head lol as I’m sure you are !So here goes ,Well on the Sunday, Maurice’s brother and his wife Jackie came to visit ,and then on the Monday , thats a week today,because Maurice wasn’t driving still (he has done a bit now, just up to our town )Pete my sister Jean’s husband came to get me and we all went to Dear Jenny’s funeral ,Jo is my niece and Jean and Pete’s daughter ,Jenny was her Mother in law, Tony’s Mum ,I hope I have explained that ok ! Jenny died suddenly the week before it was such a shock for us all, if it is possible to have a lovely funeral, then this one was, Jenny was a lovely Lady slightly younger than me ,her Dear Husband David had died four years ago ,and she never really got over losing him ,she had missed him so much ,they had been together since she was thirteen ,meeting each other at the Methodist Sunday School ,Jenny’s faith was strong all her life ,and her service was to quote her sister ” Just Jenny”, We started with the’ Hymn How Sweet the name of Jesus Sounds’, after the opening prayers . Her eldest Granddaughter Beth read a psalm so beautifully, And her Daughter Karen, told us some lovely things about her Mum ,and read a poem of her Mothers, Jenny wrote the most wonderful poetry ,and has been published ,Whilst Tony, Karen and Jo ,were searching among Jenny’s things for Jenny’s’ list ‘which they all felt sure she had left ,but couldn’t find anywhere ,they decided at least some of Jenny’s poems should be read at the service ,so after selecting the ones most appropriate ,they went to put the folder of poems away ,and there on the table was a piece of paper ,it was Jenny’s list !so we were able to sing the hymns Jenny had loved ,and her family were able to carry out her wishes ,We then sang ,Immortal, Invisible, God only wise ,and then Tony told us his memory’s of his Mum ,and thanked her for all she had done for them ,he then also read one of his Mothers poems ,that she had written after a visit to her childhood home village ,so very moving ,The service closed with the hymn ,’Oh Lord My God, when I in awesome wonder ,……We all went back to the Beautiful old Orton hall, for a lovely meal and lots of family chat, and Corrine, Jenny’s sister and I slipped outside in the afternoon sunshine and to talk about how Jenny and I would slip away for a crafty puff too ! Corrine left me with this thought, which I thought I would share with you all, When you seem to be burdened with troubles and worry’s that you really cant do any thing about, “Let Go, Let God”…I wont tell you about the rest of the week on this entry ,but will pop back later , So as usual Love

I had a phone call from Jeannette this morning ,she is extemely distressed to find she has lost her internet connection ,so if any of you are wondering why she hasnt commented on your blog ,that is the reason ,though ,in the meantime I suggest we all continue to comment on hers ,At -Outside-Looking in-Jeannette's Jottings ,to let her know we miss her when she isnt around ,And so dear Friends Iam now going to see about making some dinner ..........as ever love Jan xx

Back among the archives

Hi Everyone once again ,gosh I have never made so many entry's in so few days ,I am enjoying finding out all the new things available to us ,so very trial and error though isnt it ? I have just come in from taking Kizzie for a walk ,what a lovely afternoon we both enjoyed being out in the sun shine ,I hasten to add the picture above isn't where we walked ,that is Stourhead gardens in Wiltshire,my son his wife and family live near there ,and it is beautiful .Derek and Trisha were married in the little church that over looks the gardens .
I have decided before I do anymore work on the new blog,I am going to use the one with my journals archive ,plus the new one 's gadgets didn't always work and these ones do ,so it makes sense to me to use this one ,sooooo if I can ask all my follower's to join me here http://serendipitylives-jan.blogspot.com/ I would really appreciate it
Look at Kizzie ,is she making a note of my new link do you think ? or maybe writing a thank you note to you all for your patience with her Missis,Well that is it for today ,Thankyou all joining me love you Jan xx

I just put this entry on my old journal



Have managed to migrate my journalIt is appropriate I use one of Donna's tags to add here ,she called this one New Beginnings,rather apt since AOL have redeemed them selves somewhat and allowed us to take our old journals with us.Along with many of our graphics and comments too ,I followed the instuctions given on 'Magic Smoke 'at first I was adding the wrong password ,then when I put in the correct one ....Voila !! It worked like a dream I couldnt believe it ,now I have just one problem ,do I continue on this one now ,or will I carry on with the one that Dear Yasmin has been on the phone all afternoon helping me to sort out ,what patience that girl has ,I will add the link anyway .... http://serendipitylives-jan.blogspot.com/ but will let you know what I decide,well I guess this is where I sing to you all that lovely song from 'The Sound of Music' sung by the children ''Farewell Goodbye,lol la lol la la ...and Love From Jan at Serendipity xx See ya over Yonder
