Hello by happypat

Hello

Eight for breakfast this morning but all went smoothly.

Ann's funeral today so a sad day we never expected to have. She was fifty six & full of life.....love to organise everybody & was the best cattle handler I have ever met .
She never needed anything else but a bucket of cow pellets to entice any cow or calf anywhere she wanted it .
She will be sorely missed by her husband David & girls Lisa & Zara plus all her neighbours & friends.
A life well lived.

These are the alpacas grazing in the grounds of the hotel we went to for refreshments after the funeral.

Community of family, friends & neighbours at times like these are the best good thing.

Very nice things you said about Ann. Alpacas have such pretty faces.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Family, friends and fluffy friends are certainly needed. Love the hairdo's on these. Poppy had a mop a little bit like that when she was young. Cute.

Just love their expressions! And I'm sure they made you smile after your sad day today. Sounds like you will remember her for a long time to come for all the good things she did!

I'm sorry about your friend, no age at all. You are right, those things are the most important. Love these cheeky faces though.

I love those faces.. they would surly put a smile upon your face... so sorry to here of your friend Ann..

Cute pair in the photo! What a lovely way you write about your friend. Never easy to come to terms with the empty space when they have added so richly to the lives of others.

@sarah19 will really miss Ann Sallie...she was always round at our house.....unfortunately the funeral didn't go smoothly as they dug up the wrong grave.......we had to sit in church for an extra half hour listening to music while the dug the right one next door! Was rather distressing for all. Ann would have been furious they had made a botch!

@happypat oh how awful Pat! So upsetting for everyone. Hope the 'being together' helped everyone in the worst of situations!!
October 27th, 2014  
Oh! How distressing for everyone. I can't imagine the upset. The alpacas are adorable. Unbelievably so!
October 27th, 2014  
I always think alpacas look vaguely dumb but this is a good photograph! A sad occasion though - I expect nobody can really believe it!

Very sad about your friend, Anne, but good to have had ' a life well lived'.
The alpacas are great, a bit comical even.

Sad news, always worse for those left behind when it's unexpected. Comical characters here, hope your day wasn't too bad for you.
