WOYWW 742: Remembering

Welcome to my weekly desk share with Julia at Stamping Ground and the lovely ladies at WOYWW.


My desk shows my birthday gift from Eva - just what I wanted and will enjoy a play once I have more time.  Hubby is on holiday now until September and we are having days out once I have managed a project in the shed.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes on FB yesterday.  I seem to have it set up to message only but not sure how to change the settings. A bittersweet day as it was our first without Dad.


The daily drawings continue.  There was only one response possible to Trek - Dad introduced us to the original series in the late 60s.  His funeral has been arranged for September 11th and I have made a card as we are allowed to have things put into the coffin with him.  I will blog it on the day of the funeral but here is a picture (his favourite colour was green).

Stay safe and Happy WOWYW.

I am sure your birthday was difficult so soon after losing your Dad. Glad that you have some time off with hubby to have some (hopefully) fun days out.
Take care and happy WOYWW. Helen #8

Happy belated birthday. I can understand bittersweet, coming so soon after his death.

September 11 for the funeral would be a difficult date for some of us. 9/11 may have been 22 ago, but it is still fresh in some minds.

I love the back story of Trek. You certainly drew all those symbols (were they transponders?) so well. Happy WOYWW from # 7.

All the anniversaries/celebration days after a parent goes are hard I feel. I like the green card you made for your Dad and the Star Trek drawing is just perfect.
