HI Geoff ...

I've been away from the site for about 2 weeks, I had a very bad reaction to my last chemo ... almost ended up in the hospital. Doing better now ... just perpetually fatigued and lose my concentration very easily.

I loved this, mate! It's hard to beat a real-life story that brigs so much happiness with it. I wish Maddy & Ben the very best. I know you and Louise muxst be very happy and proud.

Good show, mate!

Alan

Thanks again mate. We are proud as Maddy will be the first of Louise's family amongst the Nephews and Nieces to "tie the knot" both are the Lord's as well.

Engagements are so special, so full of promises and preparations. The picture shows the delight in your niece's eyes. I join you in the celebration. Best wishes.

Thanks friend. We look forward to the engagement party real soon and the Wedding not all that long later, in June. Shortest engagement I have ever known but these two met in Year 8 at school so they have known each other for a loooooooong time. Cheers.

Thanks Barb we were most grateful to my wife's brother for putting on the dinner specially for us seeing we missed middy's big 21st Celebration. I was thinking one reason why her Dad is so pleased about their engagement on soon and the not too distant weddimg is, I think he wanted another son.

Hey Geoff,
This is a fun poem about friends and I really like the last line implying it is just the beginning and there is a lot to follow,
We look forward to their wedding and then!

I took a shot at poetry and didn't see your comment "I am not perfect, just a writer"

Have a great day mate,
Ron

Some relationships has been known to get started as early as Kindergarten. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Thanks Bro some thought this was the engagement but it was actually a extra gathering for middy's 21st seeing we missed the main one for the reasons explained. Appreciate you coming by.
