M is for Monday

How is that for an imaginative title?!

Today our daughters returned, and so did the noise in the house! This afternoon they had their first tennis lessons, which they enjoyed. While they were there, dh and I took Sam to the local park. We don’t go often enough – we fed ducks, watched cricket, watch dogs, bikes and children. Watched kites and trains, took a few photos, and jumped in some puddles (well only one of us did that) in yellow Winnie the Pooh wellies.
So before tonights Layout – here are a few photos from the park:

On to the layout – a second page about my grandfather Jack.

Here is the journalling – it may look quite similar to my post on Saturday as I used that text.
I have few memories of my grandfather, but I remember his red hair, which my son has inherited!
He was the son of a Reformed Presbyterian Minister, a dairy farmer, and he also delivered his own milk from his Hillhead Farm to the local village of Crawfordsburn, Co Down, N Ireland. He married Mary Elizabeth Archer, who had previously tried to emmigrate with her sisters to America, but she was sent back at Ellis Island. She came back, met Jack, and never returned to America. They had 5 children, 14 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren.
His faith, family and hard work were his priorities.
Finally, I mentioned I gave a photocube to dh for his birthday last week – here it is:
As usual, I love your comments, and please feel free to sign the guestbook. It is great to see what corner of the world you are from.

5th day of December….. "May your days be merry and bright"I know for some Christmas can be a tough time, family missing from the Christmas dinner table for whatever reason. It can be even harder when everyone around seems to be merry and bright. Christmas isn't a competition of who can out-joy who…. for some it is magical, for some it is sad. Our church in Lisburn has a special service tomorrow evening for those who have lost loved ones or who find this time of year particularly tough.So wishing you well this Christmas, don't be fooled by pretty pictures on instagram. I love to share cosy festive images here but I also am aware for many it's a tough time.Wherever or however you spend you Christmas, praying you find peace and comfort this season x
