Went to the funeral of our next door neighbour's mum, was a bit hard as it's nearly 6 years ago since my mother had her funeral at the same place.

The vicar was lovely and it was a memorial and celebration of her life. Me and Mr JC were talking about what a lovely lady she was and never had a bad word to say about any one. Always willing to chat, very smart and a joy to know.Her and her husband had been married 60 years in 2009 and to have such a cruel, cruel disease like Alzheimers take her makes my heart break.

I'm privileged to have known her.

Better now.

Sorry, I posted and then younger son called me and we had a bit of a chat. :h
JC -lovely that a funeral can be more focused on celebrating the person's life instead of mourning their death. That's how it should be. I want people to remember me and laugh, not cry. That's what I want for my family and friends. To think back over the good times and smile and feel that I am always with them in the good memories we made together.

Madman - whatcha cooking?

ooh posh.

I had to wear me Auntie's stilettos, that was after I'd rummaged round in her make up bag used her lippy and eye shadow and squirted enough perfume to make peeps gag. I thought I was the bees knees. I would have been about 3 as well.

When I was young, for about 3 years running, every Christmas Santa would bring me a "dress-up" set that had a pair of plastic high-heeled mules, a fake fur stole, pearl necklace and bracelet to match and a tiara". I thought I was the bees knees. Mind you the shoes never lasted more than a few days since we had heating registers in the floors - those metal ones that have holes in them and inevitably I'd step on one and crack a heel off. I remember I always got the set with silver straps on the shoes and a grey stole and my sister got gold shoes and a brown stole.
