2010!

Well, that's it.  I've finished for this year.  It has been one of the biggest years of my life.  I've had a beautiful baby girl who I absolutely adore, were almost finished renovating our little place, I've had a wonderful year and I am looking forward to spending some much needed holiday time with my beautiful Yasmine and hubby. Lots of time to spend at the beach and catch ups in NZ.

looking back at the things we've achieved this year and looking forward to setting our goals and dreams in motion for the year that lies ahead, stay tuned!

Thank you for your interest and for continuing to read my blog.  You are all so wonderful and very supportive. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

See you soon.

Love , Grass and Petals

 asked if I knew the saying about love and the daisy. Why, of course, I said, it goes like this....

he loves me,
he loves me not,
he loves me..

and you just pray that you have enough petals to make it to he loves me.

She told me that in French it is not quite the same as the saying goes like this.....

Il/Elle m'aime un peu,
Il/Elle m'aime beaucoup,
Il/Elle m'aime passionnément,
Il/Elle m'aime à la folie,
Il/Elle m'aime pas du tout

which translates to "He/She loves me a little, a lot, passionately, madly, not at all").
What more can I say except an example of the difference in the way in which we think.

mmm Grass /Daisy! Mooo
