Brilliant saying : ) that's all those nasty mean minded people are worth! <br />Your camping story has brought back great memories. One year hubby had been given a torch that you had to shake to charge it up. On our next camp I came back from a loo visit late one evening and as the tent came into view the shadow of hubby shaking this torch looked as if he was doing something completely different. I will leave you to imagine what! Being such a kind wife I stopped him immediately and didn't laugh at all....... Yeah of course, and pigs might fly! (it's hard not to make a noise when you are laughing fit to burst isn't it) Funnily enough the torches never caught on. I wonder why? Have a good day. Take care.Mrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-60796836404071391592014-08-26T06:41:40.934+01:002014-08-26T06:41:40.934+01:00Oh Barbara, can't believe I didnt read this ye...Oh Barbara, can't believe I didnt read this yesterday!!!

Yesterday, midst contacting my dear but severely disabled mum's care-providers two hundred miles away, I logged into your blog and, not at your expense mind, was cheered up by the ice bucket - not so much the actual drenching but by Dave's comment re 'dents in your head.' It reminded me of 30+ years ago in Brunei, waving bride and groom off on honeymoon from a balcony when father of the groom doused the happy couple with the contents of a large cool box, the contents being not ice-cubes but large ice blocks, missing them by fractions of an inch! <br />As for today, the air-bed scenario also ignites a variety of memories from our many holidays and weekends at our summer cabin in one of our local glens, where often a slight twist to the norm ended up as a farcical situation, good enough to grace any Charlie Chaplin film. <br /><br />Congratulations on the fund raising - a most worthy cause.<br /><br />Shelagh ;~)<br />Shelagh Metselaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521287880796226910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-27998671809376901442014-08-25T22:41:33.346+01:002014-08-25T22:41:33.346+01:00Hi Barbara, love your blog every day! have tried ...Hi Barbara, love your blog every day! have tried pretty much everything, but love stamping and colouring in most, with gelli printing close behind. Congratulations on the ice bucket challenge - what a fantastic way to raise funds and awareness of a truly terrible condition. And if people have left negative comments, well,they are "not worth the candle" as we would say up here in Scotland!

I normally limit myself to a couple of favourite charities but I am happy to join in with something like this, The amount you have raised in such a short time is something to be very proud of, and your team are just great sports. I have shrink plastic but not black - something else to go on the wish list. It certainly gives a great effect. Please do not include me in this particular draw, as I am one of those awkward folks who prefer the pencils I already have and love. Have a great time tomorrow getting your own back on Dave - how long can you stretch it out for? xx MaggieMaggieC (Silvercrafter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13560733295194874288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-66273074807776889592014-08-25T21:49:12.553+01:002014-08-25T21:49:12.553+01:00Great card simple but stunning!

Secondly, well done for completing the iced water challenge. Thirdly, in response those who don't appreciate your efforts, and those of others, for a very worthy charity (who knows which of us may need their support in the future?) I lead them to consider quotes from Mahatma Gandhi: 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world.' (One of your own wonderful stamps and how does change happen without people like you making the effort?) and 'Where there is love there is life.' Keep loving and maybe the lives of others will be better. Well done, Barbara. As you say: 'There for the grace of God go we.'
