well how did auntie Liddy come into our lives. Well i guess it all started when she got moved to the back area of the place where we work. She used to work on the white floor, she now works on the brown floor where i work. She slowly lost her white floor super complex(people who work on the white floor think their better than those who work on the brown floor). We would have religious debates in the cold room because there is no better place to discuss God then in 0 temp. So this Catholic vs Protestant batter would start. As time went on people soon worked out what we were doing in there so we moved this to our houses and Internet. Liddy has been over here a few times and my kids warmed to her instantly. We have also gotten to know liddy's mum and sister, ditz. They have put us onto home schooling, ditz has been pressed/ ganged into teaching my no.1 child how to sing. Interestingly enough was when our kids real auntie showed up and liddy came over to meet her. To watch no.1 drop everything and run over to her and gave her a cuddle. no.2 was crawling along on knees with arms open for a cuddle saying liddy liddy asking to be picked up was great to see. when ditz and her mum showed up, well lets just say the message was delivered to sil clearly. I don't think we will be seeing sil here for some time now, as sil seems to have been spurred to reevaluate some things by her visit, which can only be a good thing. Thank you auntie liddy we came to this island to get away from family instead we found one you, you are now part of ours too. Gods work is truly wonderful.
PS To liddy's mum (i know your going to read this lol) i was educated in a government school, we did not learn spelling, punctuation, capital letters etc etc so go easy on me OK, thanks.

I'm still working on Liddy ~ whom I got 1/2 baked after her stint in Govt schooling so you're safe for the time being. Codas are good but I'll cope with most other things.
ReplyDeleteI think Mr Bean works well as ur allias blogging name, so from here on out you'll get Mr Bean! Mr Bean's little ones are the very best and I am happy to be called an aunt of theirs, be great to watch them grow up. While Mrs Bean is an awesome lady, quiet and gentle yet extremly radiant, been a pleasure to know the Bean family aside from work... and yes I do believe white floor vs brown floor and 0 degree temps helped the friendship along.
