Please Stay With Me Just A Little Bit Longer

I am not quite out of the woods yet as wireless connection drops in and out.
I am waiting for the chap who set it up to come back and sort it out for me.
Mean while here are a couple of old photos of Sally the Wonder Dog.
See how she could smile, she was a very personable dog, I know she thought she was one of "us".
I still miss her very much, she was wonderful company.



These photos were obviously taken whilst we were in one of our waiting for rain periods at the Palms .
In the time we were there it would be no rain at all then too much. However the property was very pretty and it was a pleasure to live in such a wonderful natural place with splendid views from all sides.



This was where Sally was supposed to sleep and stay in the wonderful run. However
People did not stay in dog kennels no matter how fancy they were.
She slept on a dog's trampoline back on the back veranda of our house which sat
next to what one could loosely call a courtyard between Peter's dwelling and Lyle"s and mine.
Sally used Barkingham Palace when we went out only.
You would not need to be a genius to work out who called it Barkingham Palace.
Yes that would be Peter.
There was also a guest accommodation in this area, this was where both Peter's an our visitors could stay
in their turn. Warren used to visit regularly and both Lyle and I looked forward to his visits
I am sure just as much as Peter did.





I will try to read and comment on as many posts as possible. I will not be doing the real photo thing until I am very sure of my connection hanging in there. I am feeling a little insecure just at present. It is great to
be back though even if not fully operational re Internet.
This is what my clock looks like at present due to more call ins than what I welcome or want to do.
Cheers to you all for now Catch you all again later.

Hi Margaret, sorry to hear you are not properly connected, (I guess I expect better from the Hyacinth sp? in you) the kids have all flown the coop so I'm at Warren's for the couple of days before we head for Sydney and/or the bush.
Just to keep my frustration levels up I am installing a wireless router on his computer at the moment... it's working fine on my computer but says its not connected on his????? computers, who'd have one!!!!!!!!!!

Sally looks like she was a wonderful pet. :)

Hi Margaret. That alarm clock looks like mine after I fixed it, just after I retired.

Margaret, great photos of a dear friend. Pets do bring us such comfort. Our Hazel is an angel cat. She has helped Maryann through her several health issues.

Hope you get the wireless thing worked out soon.

Barkingham Palace, what a laugh.
