Surely there's something to smile about......

Just wanted to share:
I was just walking my dog in the local neighbourhood, and we passed a house where a man was mowing his front lawn. Murphy walked over onto the grass, a meter or so, to say hello, to which the man replied to me: "Can you get that dog off my garden!" I just smiled.....

When do you think people change from friendly children to being so miserable that they have to make a comment like this to a complete stranger walking their dog on a spring afternoon........ So Sad!!

I'm glad I still have things to smile about!

C'mon Summer

With summer around the corner, Dad helped me sort out my front garden today. He weeded the beds while I mowed the lawn, and after he left I spread some bark chips to finish it off. Looks nice now!
THANKS DAD!!!

We went to Windsor for the day. We went of a 40 minute boat cruise down the River Thames, walked around the outside of the castle and in town, and went for Sunday Roast at the pub.


Thanks for a lovely day guys!

True words spoken

This is for all us girls 30 years and over.... and for those who are turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30's...AND for guys who are scared of girls over 30!!!!... This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes. Andy Rooney says:

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They Always Know.

A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a Jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress

Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you.

Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage!

AMEN BROTHER...........

Belly Dancer and Dune Bashing videos

Below is the Belly Dancer video when I went on the Desert Safari




And here is my short video of the Dune Bashing. Must say, the video does not do the experience justice. This song was blaring in the 4x4 whilst we were doing the Dune Bashing - very appropriate I thought.

Thanks Dad for helping me put the video together!!!
