Forgotten ny

This site is amazing...
There is so much on
it! Many of the buildings
now gone or decayed...
I think the buildings
are one of the things
I miss most about
'the city'

The DearAmish People

My husband came home & just told me of the terrible
shootout at the Amish school....
I am just so sad for these communities......
'Dear Lord I pray that you will safeguard these
people in your care. Give them strength and
courage of spirit at this time......
Help the non Amish community to give their
support in Love and reconciliation at this sad, sad,
time in the Mighty name Of JESUS the saviour of
the world'

Kinema In the woods...

Lincolnshire.....
There is also a tea rooms reminisant of the
50's...

The Pavillion Gardens Buxton
' The hothouse'

This was one of the first times I saw
truly beautiful indoor garden....
Depending on when it is photographed
the scene changes....
When I was growing up on many visits to Buxton
I remember the beautiful 'art deco'
room they also had' for tea dances'.....
many parlour palms were dotted about
the walls and furnishings in greens and golds....
How my mothers generation enjoyed their
tea dances and orchestras in the Pavilion....

Buxton Derbyshire

My mother came from Buxton in Derbyshire
which is a spa town.....
t is about 200 miles from Essex.
So she was considered a' northerner'.
The dialect and way of life was really quite
different: If not geographicaly that far away.

Castle Hedingham

My father was born in the small town of Castle Hedingham in

Essex. He lived here for a few years as a boy. I think he was

the oldest in the family.....

He then moved to Maldon in Essex where I lived......

Funnily enough on a vist to white plains ny I just met ONE Amish gentleman who had
driven all the way up from Pennsylvania to sell his wares... He was just shutting his
stall. I managed to purchase a' butter pecan pie'' amazing and delicious......

My dear friend Mira

This is a pic of my dear friend Mira...

I have always enjoyed penmanship....

Sadly with the computer the art of penmanship seems to

dying out. I hope not.. Still I suspect we are all guilty of

that? if we no longer write to folks....

I think Mira & I have corresponded for about 15 years?

We have also been fortunate to meet.

Our children now gaining independence...

Grandchildren at some point for us: god willing!

What Blessings can be recieved from Trust and Friendship....

I and my family have stayed with them and enjoyed their

dear friendship and they have been to uk en route to Europe

and met us!

Mira now resides in Connectisut.

In 1999 on a visit with older daughter to Israel was so Happy

to meet Miras aunt Haya at the bus station in Jerusalem.....

Saying Sorry

Yom Kippor

For the Jewish people this is a time to say sorry.

For myself as a Christian I can find that epecially

hard to do.....

Sorry...

not that large a word really...

But a word that can put so much damage to an end......

If you go to www.aish.com . you can view a short clip on saying sorry.

.

Yom Kippur

Today is Yom Kippur...

If you would like to find out more about these holidays:

www.aish.com

Table & chairs....

A few years ago I bought a 'barley twist table & was given 4 Edwardian chairs.
The table was difficult to eat at as you caught your knees on the legs underneath!
Also older daughter has 3 children now and two are out of high chairs....
I gave her a 6' long victorian pine table with two large drawers in.
A Mrs Beeton table.....
I neede one smaller in the end after looking @ a few ranging in price from
£200 -£300.... We went to another store they had a lovely table made in India
I just loved it 4' but quite wide & solid. With four chairs plus my 2 better chairs
that I already have. Anyway it was £200 but was slightly shop soiled so I
got it for £150- Husband was also able to take it to pieces with the help of the
store workers and we managed it all in the car, chairs as well. My old one is
outside with the chairs waiting for a friend....
I t looks so nice looks like a proper dining area now. I bought a bunch of Iris
reduced & put in a tall vase it looks really nice.....
I also have lots of stuff in the hall waiting for a yard top sale. I hope we can do
one this week end. Any stuff we don't sell can go to a charity shop. Thrift store
to those who wonder......
