Bye bye dad and a day with the lovely Jo Rice

Morning lovelies! How are you? We are good and survived my dads funeral yesterday. My sister and I did a tribute - I only stumbled when I mentioned Shaun so I was quite pleased. Both my girls did a tribute too. I was very proud of them. My friend Liz is a florist - she did the floral tributes - they were beautiful ... I love the teddy bear in his green tank top!!!

  

My mum is doing okay - we'll see how the next week goes on!!!

On Thursday I went to Kendal to the GHP paper Factory and had a lovely day with the beautiful Jo Rice. We made lots of wonderful goodies!





It really was a lovely day - thanks Jo - you are a very special lady!!!

Big hugs to you!

Rachel xx
