Have you seen this pair of grey nomads?

LOST: Grey Nomads, last seen heading out of town. Believed to be going south to escape the warm winter. They go by the name of Good Value Gailene and Grumpy Bum. Grumpy Bum has a distingishing tatoo over his heart and Gailene can be picked out of a crowd as she stands on her head lots! Size 8 shoe probably blingy although because of the cold more than likely furry. If you see them give them a hug . Not the shoes...Gailene and GB silly.

The orginal Mrs Parke (with an E)

89 years young Doris!

We are the generations of Parke with an E. It just so happened that Barry Parke, Doris's husband was the first of Parke with an E. His dad, very excited at the birth of his son stopped off at the pub on the way to the registry office in London and a drunken squiggle evolved. His daughters birth more sobbering stayed with Park but Barry was Parke and that is a true story!

Proof that we are a different species....

The thought came to me this morning as I was wondering what I am going to wear to my daughter-in-law to be 'hens' party on Saturday night, why did it get called a 'Hens' and 'Bucks' night out?
Should it have been a Hens and Cocks or a Doe and Bucks night? Proof I say that we are indeed a totally different species to support the theory that we (men and women) are indeed from different planets! So girls...keep your eyes open , be alert...aliens disguised as men sent to takeover our lives and wind us around/up/over their little fingers for their own selfish purposes! Ha the laugh is on them hey girls as we turn the tables and show them our GIRL POWER!

"God Don't Make No Mistakes"

Bull dust he don't! Like my hair for instance. I was supposed to born with red hair and I ended up with what I did...left overs. Oh don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the waves and the strength and the amount but wouldn't you think if he's gone to all the trouble to cover those and make sure my mother had red hair that I would have it too? Thank God for Mark thats all I can say...

On Being a Parent....

There is only piece of advice I'll willingly pass on to my children when it's time for them to have their own, is to love unconditionally; without flinching even when the police knock at the door with a warrant, when they fail exams, when they have chosen the wrong path or girlfriend or boyfriend, or even if they are messy and dishevelled or rude and impolite. Just love them and you'll be okay as a parent and they will turn out fine.
