A Little Sparkle

Good morning from a sunny North east Scotland, we had a beautiful day of warm sunshine yesterday and it looks promising at the moment. Hubby came back from Aberdeen just before lunch time yesterday James will be home on Tuesday. They had a great night out celebrating James's 18th, none of them were under the weather James only had 1 cider nothing stronger. He and his brother are shopping for DVD's then heading to the cinema toady.

Trick or Treat

Digi from QKR Stampede


My younger son is 18 tomorrow I don't know where the years have gone, it makes me feel old ( I was the wrong side of 40 when he was born ) and a little sad. He's not ready to fly the nest yet but this milestone makes it seem closer.
He and his dad are meeting his brother in Aberdeen to celebrate, they will both stay overnight, hubby will come home on Saturday and James next Tuesday. I hope they enjoy their boy's time they are very close.

I wish I had used a patterned paper instead of the white embossed square, but it's too late now, everything is firmly in place.
