Well we are back from all the Drama of going to Sydney for our Grandaugter's 1st Birthday Don't get me wrong I love our Grandkids to bits but it seems like twice the effort to do anything now that it was 2 years ago ,s you all know.We used to jump in the car (Baz driving) & go wherever the mood took us whenever we liked & no drama,now Baz doesn't want to go anywhere unless it is just on a drive with his own bed at the end of the day!!!

I will always remember the time he rang me at work(I was nursing at the time)we had only known each other for a few months in 1998 & asked me if I would like to go to New York I said "Yes he said "good" as he had entered a radio competition to win a trip to New York to see Eric Clapton in concert at Madison Square Garden, the competition went for 6 weeks & they had hundreds of people enter but Baz was positive that he was going to win , the night before they were to draw the winning entry I was worried how he would react when he didn't win, the next day at 4.30 he rang me to say they had rung him & he had won the trip I didn't believe him as the competition wasn't to be drawn until 5.00 but it was a delayed broadcast so he taped it & played it back to me at 5 pm, he had won & we went to NY 7& had the best time of our lives it was like a dream us in NY...I never doubted him again,he was so positive he was going to win , & it is his positiveness that has got him back from the stroke to the degree he is today..

So much has happened since we have been away,Jean has "retired" & so much about everyone else that I haven't caught up with yet.

Baz has got more independent since we came back from Sydney & showered himself completely for the first time the other day!! Small steps always win !! :cheer:
