I am finding these days that messages on Facebook are all very well but the sound of loved one's voices is the best thing and younger people don't think to use the telephone much these days except for texting and we don't do that. I am truly glad that all of the family, bar one, live within driving distance.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-67378325070293757562013-09-25T23:10:20.967+08:002013-09-25T23:10:20.967+08:00I have an idea my mum felt the same way when we we...I have an idea my mum felt the same way when we went away and I guess it is human nature to want those we love to be safe and sound. xMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-10328907729660704532013-09-25T23:09:04.847+08:002013-09-25T23:09:04.847+08:00Yes you do and yes you can.

And was only really happy when she knew all of her six children where in there own homes and she knew they were where they were supppose to be. She and her children all love travelling but home is best!!!

There is nothing 'silly old woman' about you Mimsie - hearing a loved one's voice far outweighs any other form of communication...except of course the up-close-and-personal huggeroonie!!! Forty minutes away or not - it's still a darn-sight better than 40zillion miles.

Hadn't seen one son for 6 months, another for a year. Hadn't seen daughter in 2 years. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. If missing offspring makes one "a silly old woman" then I proudly accept that honor!Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-6526841314580688752013-09-22T14:32:59.038+08:002013-09-22T14:32:59.038+08:00It makes sense to me.

Even if they don't usually, the possibility is there.<br />So... either you are not a silly old woman, or there are two of us.<br />I am very glad they had a good time. A wedding? That is what is in my head anyway. Hopefully she will blog about her trip, but welcome her home from me too.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
