And of course he was Jamie's elder brother. I never felt quite the same with Paul after that and as things turned out I think I was right.<br />You and me both about the Art School cop-out.<br />Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-32623647351045133622016-03-11T16:11:45.920+00:002016-03-11T16:11:45.920+00:00Uh-huh, Paul and Sean did not set this up, right? ...Uh-huh, Paul and Sean did not set this up, right?

I am so glad to hear you are better now. Even if it had been a bad case of bronchitis that still requires help and care especially when you are the carer.

I bet all the children just adored you. I remember being so frightened as a nine year old being in the Hospital and them not knowing what was wrong. It was very comforting to have an understanding kind and caring nurse--let me tell you! All those kids were lucky to have you taking such good care of them!!! I just love reading your book, my dear Pat.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-48762542574204009462016-03-02T16:05:27.667+00:002016-03-02T16:05:27.667+00:00Kim: I'll try to fit it in between cruises:)Kim: I'll try to fit it in between cruises:)Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-59811217238747254792016-03-02T10:12:57.787+00:002016-03-02T10:12:57.787+00:00We could organise one for next time I'm down i...We could organise one for next time I'm down in the West Country :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-1752734349613676012016-03-02T07:11:51.442+00:002016-03-02T07:11:51.442+00:00This would make a lovely afternoon TV series, or s...This would make a lovely afternoon TV series, or something like call the Midwife Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-71267010461670399542016-03-02T04:36:29.242+00:002016-03-02T04:36:29.242+00:00I went back and read your posts – that last cruise...I went back and read your posts – that last cruise did not sound too good, but you made some nice photos in the sun. The Magellan from the outside does not look that bad for a 31 years old ship (was made in 1985.) <br /> <br />I enjoyed your recollection at the hospital and with your friends. You know my father was an Armenian, and even though we lived in Paris, he would not (knowingly) let me go out by myself until I was …21! Which is one of the reasons I went to the US to travel… So I understand how upset you were to be denied going out. <br /><br />Thanks for coming to my blog. The reasons I did not drive to the doctor when I was sick, was first because I was too weak to drive. The doctor is in another county, about 1 hour away or 2 hours return, and on freeways – my husband does not drive and there was no one to ask since it was Christmas. The other reason is that I did not know I had pneumonia – I thought it was a bad case of bronchitis and would go away. I am totally recovered now.<br />Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-59832931467393631672016-03-01T23:48:49.998+00:002016-03-01T23:48:49.998+00:00Things are heating up.

We had a special relationship and his good opinion of me was of prime importance. I think he may have regretted it and certainly it was more flexible and trusting afterwards. I think he realised he backed the wrong horse. I teased him about it for years.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-71370167311993236052016-03-01T19:18:58.139+00:002016-03-01T19:18:58.139+00:00Another fantastic chapter with an open ending.

In hindsight, what do you think of your father's decision? How long were you angry with him. Love this stuff, Pat. Love it.

I was invited to visit a friend in college while I was still in high school, and she had set me up with a blind date - one I desperately wanted to meet - and my aunt told my mom not to let me go for the same reasons your dad didn't want you to go. It was so unfair - I thought - and I was mad about it for quite some time. <br /><br />I can't wait to hear if you got to go to the other one. kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.com
