Tuesday Treasures



For weeks at Clare's Craftroom Tuesday Treasures I've been showing you stuff I have close to me.

Today's treasures are all too far away for my liking.
My Menfolk, chosen this week because my baby just had a birthday, it was Father's Day on Sunday and just 'cos I'm not able to see them all right now and I want to. 












On the left is my baby, Toby, daddy to two of my precious grandies, he's a hard worker and gorgeously cuddly.
Next is Corey, the middle son, he makes me laugh and is so creative and enthusiastic in all that he does.

Then there's my bloke, he works away now but he was home for these boys when they were growing up and is still a great dad to them.

On the right  is Adrian but we call him Age (something to do with his
sister not being able to pronounce his name). He kept me running when he was little but has grown into a wonderful, easy going man.

It seems like only yesterday I was washing  football jumpers, patching knees, sorting out battles, stocking up on groceries, groceries and more groceries and rolling 15 pairs of grey school socks every Sunday night.
I never thought I'd miss those days.

Precious post Sue - I know how hard it is when they are far away and you don't get to see them often enough. Sometimes it feels physically painful not being able to get a cuddle!
Hugz to you

Family is such a treasure, isn't it. You must really enjoy any time you do get together these days.

This made me tear up, Sue, you must miss them terribly. Mine are still at home, and I'm NOT looking forward to them leaving, even while I push them out of the nest - it's for their own good. I'd much rather be selfish and worry about my OWN good. Big hugs to you.
