That is beautiful Izabella - I love your posts. They are so full of hope and cheerfulness.
Ann please don't let people upset you. The other posters remarks were unkind and totally uncalled for. I think they say more about her than you. We all know how kind you are 
TOYA
I took this yesterday. Not great as its on the phone. That's it now I shall leave you all in peace!!
Good morning everyone from a sun drenched Shire. Very quiet here this morning. I am thinking the cockerel over the hill must have crowed himself hoarse ?.
I have just read back thread (taking notes to prompt this post) and would like to thank everyone who send their wishes and virtual flowers to me. I have never thought of myself as either amazing or inspirational but my cup has always been half full, rather than half empty. It is how I have survived in the past. I am just a normal sort of person dealing with a difficult situation to the best of my current ability. There are many others on this thread with a helluva lot to deal with.
I intially reeled when told I my MRI scan confirmed other tests and that I have Alzheimers. My professional training and knowledge mean I know what is in store for me, and at the moment often know more than some of the professionals involved. This does not make life easy!! I had two choices. Give in or get on with it. So I am making the best of life, living in the moment, loving nature,popping into the kitchen, laughing with friends, reading (then forgetting what I have read) and saying 'no' to a lot of things I either don't want or need to do anymore.
It is cheering to know that support in the kitchen is there for us all and I am now aware of the recent trials of annie and anne recently.
A thank you to soop for initiating this safe haven and I wish everyone as peaceful a day as possible.
Thank you all XXXX
Morning all !
Its a blue sky start to the day here , although it was briefly fraught as Grampy , out of the blue, made an apt at the local EE store to get us both on the same account so I can have some of his unused data each month. There was much rushing about and cursing until I realised it was tomorrows date not todays! Doh!
Don't upset yourself Ann some posters cant see the good for the bad ! Keyboard warriors pah!
Oh dear Grey now you KNOW there is no sympathy for self inflicted wounds ;-) but quite frankly if you cant have a few too many on your 53rd wedding anniversary - when can you ??
We went to see the roses in bloom yesterday and everything was pretty in pink so Ive added a couple of pictures .
As the frantic rush has now stopped here Im going to enjoy a lazy day and I hope all of you have something nice to look forward to.
I hear there are some needing to lie in a darkened room after anniversary revelling, what are things coming to in here! 
Ann, take heart, your kindness never goes unnoticed here. .Izabella your posts are always interesting and inspiring, keep on keeping on.
I’ve enjoyed seeing and hearing news of those beautiful new babies, I do miss that stage in our family. No doubt it will come around again, but since oldest gd is not quite 17 I'm hoping not yet awhile - but hopefully while I'm still here/young enough to enjoy it! In the meantime I get plenty of cuddles when I help at the mum and baby group each week.
It was a lovely sunny evening for our towns annual cycle race tonight. Amazingly unlike previous years I managed to get some shots that weren’t just mens lycra clad bottoms disappearing over the hill though some those photos were very “easy on the eye”!
Sleep well kitchen folk. x
Echoing what Doodle said - not commenting on another thread, but take no notice 
Izabella so many sent to you.
My admiration has no end.
