No I didn't - terrible isn't it.  It shows up my lack of imagination too, not being able to think up one for myself.

AH Xgh your mean! I want that to be kept up - not deleted!

It was great Rolo.

Let you off this time. Its fierce quiet here , isn't Russell due back today?

Ah Rolo,

Thats so yesterday now, we've all moved on!

Fair play Ann, great idea and they'll treasure it always.

Actually I have written  a book about the children which I've designed, put all my favourite photos and memories of them in. I have done a chapter on each one of them all about how special, wanted and loved they were/are and every feeling and emotion I ever felt for each of them. As our little ones are adopted, like myself, I wanted them to know how treasured they are to us and never have any questions in their minds that they were afraid to ask so I left no stone unturned. I wrote all about our trips to Mexico to meet our son, the first meeting etc, all the special unforgettable memories.....the funny things he did and said as a toddler, school...and have it all documented with photos. I did the same for each of the girls and have all the memories of the Kingdom of cambodia in it. Then there is naturally enough the chapter on when we had the four of them together and how they all get on and the entertaining things that they do and say. I also wrote lots of little poems about them and for each of them, nothing mega talented but should be cute for them!There are about 2000+ pages in it!!!! Each year I plan on doing a sequel!!!! So it is a bit tough on the eyes for reading. But I am sure that they will tresure it when they get older & I am a senior member!!!

So Ann,

If I get you photos of this lot,what about the caricatures ?

Rolo.

Ann I would love a copy of that also! Don't forget your mates and forget the presses with the hopes that your cousin wont be up that high....  God love anyone who would venture into mine

Hi Rolo

     have decided to write and illustrate a children's book which I only just begun ......based on a little loving character Lily buttercup (alias my darling little Veacha) who comes all the way from Asia to live with her new family on a Tropical island and this is where all the action & excitement begins. Even tho she has a heart of pure solid gold, she is forever getting up to mischief and thus trouble is never very far behind. Tragically I don't even have to make up the script, all I have to do is write down what goes on with the minors!!!! The illustrations when I start should be highly detailed and I will paint all the beautiful images that I have from Cambodia in vivid colour ...from the Royal Palace to the Temples and Riverfront scenes that I have captured in my mind. Plus all the antics that they get up to here....I think our kids are so photogenic that they will make the most perfect characters, even visually for any book. I will try getting it published later when it is completed and if it never gets published, it will be a unique lasting memory for the children to have in years to come.

At the momento tho I am up a ladder cleaning my kitchen presses for the arrival of my cousin who arrives here on Fri. Two more weeks of partying and my liver is just about recovering from Johns visit!!!! T'is a tough life for sure!
