To my dearest friends, when i go quiet on here, it is because so much is happening or my bad head will not write, no thinkable words to say or lots to do, my granddaughters birthday on same day as yours phyllis, made you both a card, she will be three years old, searched high and low for a fibre optic dress, it took forever, i was trying to get her one for christmas, anyways found it now, it is lavender colour, the skirt part is in lots of layers of netted chiffon and the fibre optic lights flash on and off, it takes one battery, the top part is type of satiny silk with diamontes and has puffed short sleeves, i bought her a pink pram with shopping tray underneath, you cannot have a pram without a doll, so bought her a baby doll with lots of accessories like baby bottle, dish, spoon fork, potty etcetera. My daughter and little grandson came, i let our carol hear him speak to her on the telephone, haven't a clue what he says, he sounds exactly like bill and ben the flowerpot men, he is one year old and loves quavers, his health is improved and has put two pounds on, as you know he was very poorly from several bouts of meningitis and on drips and his weight dropped, so thanks to your prayers he is on the upward path. My doors are finished and they painted the wall and my wheelchair went smoothly through, better than the bumping of the corridors and fire doors main entrance, much easier and went to shops out in the beautiful fresh air, it showered a little and i loved it. I have the dreaded court this week for the flood i had, still ongoing and still no solicitor to help me, i have telephoned over two hundred solicitors to date. Regarding me and everyone else not able to get taxis, i have given the story to a newspaper, this journalist was at the meeting i arranged and could not get there due to no taxi, so he knows all the situation of how difficult it is for the likes of people like me and he is going to write about it all, will let you know when i hear more. I have read your wonderful emails, the stories and comical one liners, loved your voice mails, about what your day was like, i love all of you, you are my special brothers and sisters and i think the world of you. from Vanessa The Google Girl. my skype name is rainbowstar123
