  1. Just got the word about my next grandchild. My daughter does not like having ultrasounds but the homebirth system she is using this time required it due to Government funding. Well, my layouts for this upcoming baby will be... BLUE

  2. Now we are all settled in our new little home, Ken decided after all we have been through it was time for a little holiday. Tomorrow we head to a seaside town for four nights. I am looking forward to morning walks on the beach.

      It's always work to set up a new computer but then so much fun which it is set up. Enjoy!

  4. I have just returned from a little holiday at a very Australian bush setting even with kangaroos hopping past our caravan and eating grass at night near our van. So with it being in a fairly remote area I could not get any internet. Hope everyone here are doing well.

      I know what you mean! My best to you guys.

  8. I decided to do an experiment. I popped in here using Internet Explorer instead of my Chrome browser and I can now see the ad at the top. I wonder why with Chrome it does not show up? I am not complaining as I prefer not seeing the add as they would not apply to me living here in Australia.

      I think it depends more on the add-ons you have for a particular browser than where you live. For example, I can see the ads on IE because I don't do anything with IE and haven't added anything to it. However, I used Firefox all the time and have added an ads blocker so I don't see ads on any sites that I visit. Your IP address will dictate the ads you see, making sure that they are local. HTH

      I see it with Internet Explorer and Firefox. Extremely well!

  11. Sadly our plans have changed. This will be the first Christmas Ken and I will spend on our own in our 29 years of marriage. Daughter and son-in-law phoned at lunch time about an hour before we planned to leave our home,   to ask us not to come. They had a friend stay this week who left yesterday and that person now has definite symptoms of Covid.

  13. Today we organised the final payment for our new home and will be moving in next week. I just realised that we have moved to a state with daylight saving so I will need to re-calculate times for taking part in chats.

  15. Just back from being away on a little holiday in our caravan. We were so close to the ocean that at night I fell asleep to the sound of the waves. It is a place we possibly will return to again next year.  Now I need to catch up on my Project Life pages.

      You are right, of course. I meant to say it will bring you to the home page. But at the home page you can click on "forum"... or any other part of the site. Hope that helps!

      Opps I missed read the first post. ?

  22. Still no new grandchild. I think my daughter may be correct in saying her due date is the 14th. It was the midwife who gave an earlier date.

      Oh my Jody, I thought 10-4 was a big baby.

    3. Cheri T

      As long as you do "due dates" the same there as we do here, remember babies can come anywhere between 14 days before and 14 days after the due date (unless there is a medical need to make things happen sooner)

    4. Nica

      Nica

      Some Dr. have even started giving due months, a range of dates, because some moms get so hung up on the date. Can't wait to here the news though. :)

       

      KatieGrace and Jody, OH MY!!! Mine were 7-4, 6-4, and 8-0. Even the adopted one came home at 5 pounds.

  23. Every time the phone rings now I will be thinking it could be news that my grandson is on his way into this world.
