I don't know how to do that, but I will learn.

Lets just hope I can remember them all!<br /><br />You are correct about don't ask don't get; still it is hard for me to ask for help. I never want to put anyone out, but the lady at the lock cottage was so nice. And I am learning just how far I can stretch five gallons! :)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you and Ken soon, <br /><br />Love Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-87824010378871639942017-05-02T10:53:54.966+00:002017-05-02T10:53:54.966+00:00Hi Karen,

Today I am focusing on living in the present moment. I so appreciate your and Jim's kindness, encouragement and support. It is so great to have strong, feisty friends in one's cheering section! <br /><br />I miss you like Aqua net misses the '60's!<br /><br />Love and Biggs big hugs to your both, <br /><br />Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-13285967883367711912017-05-02T10:50:29.879+00:002017-05-02T10:50:29.879+00:00Hi Carol,

I guarantee if Les had been here he would have laughed, and I did too. It is just so absurd isn't it?!! <br /><br />I am still waiting for RCR. Bank holiday weekend and all that...It wasn't Doug and James it was Adam and Adrian on NB Briar Rose who hailed me in both directions. <br /><br />As for Cowroast Engineering, I will never, ever rust him again and he will never, ever touch my boat again. I did try talking with him about things, but he made up excuse after excuse, as though I were too dumb to understand things and it was all my fault we had a "misunderstanding." Les has had a lot of work done on our boat by him over the years. When Les was alive he always treated us both with kindness and respect. It is only now that I am a woman, singular, that his treatment is different. It is what it is, and what it is, is bitterly disappointing.<br /><br />Biggs big hugs to you and George, <br /><br />Love Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-3028654986939995712017-05-02T10:43:31.850+00:002017-05-02T10:43:31.850+00:00Jesse Darlin',

You aren't even given a chance to grieve and wail ... maybe for now that's for the good. But no doubt about it .. you are one warrior lady and you Will not only survive but thrive.

Do you think you've got the energy to contact them and give them a piece of your mind? <br /><br />I'm sorry but I had to smile at the picture of you with your head over the sink and wearing the window too! Still it was better it happened whilst you were in than if you were out for an extended time leaving a gaping hole in the boat for any passing intruder. <br /><br />I hope that tomorrow sorts out all your engine problems and that you have managed to take advantage of the fine weather during your enforced stay and that tea and cake with Doug and James has lifted your spirits with a good old laugh!<br /><br />You're always in our thoughts, love from us both. xx <br /><br />Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-54418644904401769112017-04-30T14:52:24.511+00:002017-04-30T14:52:24.511+00:00Momma,
