xox from Mum...

 

hi!

 

when most school leavers

are going to 'schoolie's week' down at the coast,

my friend's daughter has gone to thailand

to help at 'destiny rescue'.

{a halfway house/charity that gives young women a chance at another life style

after they have been sold or enslaved, against their will, into a life of prostitution.}

 

 

she has gone armed with small gifts

&

her guitar.

her aim is just to encourage them in their new journey

and to make some new friends.

 

 

her mum is a legend.

as well as making and selling

hundreds of jars of homemade jam,

lemon and passionfruit butter

for her daughter's trip

 

she is renovating her bedroom

while she's away.

 

 

 

the windows have all been reputtied

and the walls undercoated.

 

 a couple of friends and i went around there this morning

and my job was to sand down the furniture

ready for painting...white.

 

there will be white walls

except for one...

 

 

 

 

this fabric

will be made into cushions for her bed...

 

 

i hope it will be the best surprise for her!

 

 

yesterday,

was mary's funeral...

a young woman, a friends daughter,

who died going to work a week and a half ago.

 

rest in peace, mary.

 

she had a smile as wide as the sky,

an infectious laugh

&

was a loyal mate

with a passion for life & love.

 

 

tomorrow...

a bag to make...two cushions & an apron.

well, that's the plan.

 

what have you got planned for the weekend?

whatever it is..

do it with all your heart...
