I can't seem to be able to edit !!!
I only meant to post the school formal picture. Oh well.
I was thinking of James and wishing I could visit him soon....he is now 13 years old. Where has the time gone. Pam called me yesterday with updates on their family. James is the representative for the High School Cadets. Big presentation for recruitment coming up soon and he is delivering it. He will be in the Cadets for 2 years so it seems. He has been on several bivouacs....but his interest is in tactics. He has a fine mind just like his parents...leaning more closely to his father who is an I.T. Architect. Stuart has gone into detail several times about just what it is that he does for I.B.M. We all get lost after about ten minutes. James wants to be a lawyer....not sure what kind and we suspect he will change his mind many times before he finally settles on just what he would like to become. Being a minister of religion is high up there also.
Rachel is back into playing netball. She is very good at it....quite tall for her age and well suited to the sport. The children will tower over Pam in a few more years. James is already as tall as her. I remember when Glen grew past me and would pick me up and move me across the kitchen so he could get into the fridge. He was about 15 or 16....I was shocked the first time he did it. Then he used to do it frequently to show off !
Pam sounded great. She has been requested to work more hours than she likes the past couple of weeks, but the money she earns is put aside for home improvement projects that are ongoing.
Now for my big news.......I have played 7 games of bowls as of today and I am improving rapidly. Playing a reasonable game of golf sets you up for playing other sports well...or so I am frequently told. It seems to be working for me. My partner told me I will be playing pennant next year at this rate ! It feels so good to feel improvement as quickly as this. The only problem I seem to have is having a new coach each time I play. My real coach has told me to ignore all advice from well meaning people as it seems everyone wants to give it to a person that they haven't met before when they discover the person has just started playing. Hard to listen politely and I find I cannot say to anyone....thank you for your advice, however etc....so I just listen, nod etc then do my best my way. Everyone means well and I appreciate it.
