    Questions in the early morning

    What am I doing? Where am I going with my life? Am I moving forward? Progressing? Stagnating? Growing?

    S N O W ! ! !

    It snowed yesterday morning!!! I never thought I'd see snow in my life, not to mention snow over my home in Kempton Park! The last time it snowed like this in Kemton was about 27 years ago, four years before I was born. Check out some photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdilord

    Goodnight dear reader. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

    Good Morning

    It was SO cold when I hot up today! My knees really protested! Had some lekker rooibos tea with rusks, now making the day's sarmies - two peanut butter rolls and a ham sarmie. Also boiling the breakfast sausages.

    Still surprised I forgot to blog about Father's Day. A belated blog-Happy Father's Day Dad!!! I love you, I'm proud of you and I thank the Lord for you often. Thanks Dad. Love you.
