And they called it Puppy Love

This page is of a lady we call Roddy and my gorgeous baby Sophie. 


Roddy (Mrs Rodden) lived next to us while my siblings and I were growing up.  She has always been part of our family and still is.  Unfortunately now, at the age of 97, she is in a nursing home.  Mind you, she only went in there two years ago.  Up until then she was at home caring for herself and her home. 


Roddy was the one that used to go on all the rides with us at the Carnival.  Rides like the Twister and all the other twirly ones.  She absolutely loved them. 


Mum was only having a conversation with her the other day about her age and she refused to believe that she was 97.  I love her so much and she is like a grandmother to me. 


Roddy and Sophie were enjoying cuddles at the park last march when we went for a picnic.  You know this is particularly why I love scrapbooking, because I can record this outing which to many others would be 'just a picnic'.  To us, it meant being able to spend time with Roddy and we sat for hours talking about things we have all done together in the past.  The funny thing is that Roddy is not a big dog lover.  She always had a cat, but she absolutely loved Sophie and sat with her on her lap for hours.


I couldn't resist scrapping this photo and am really happy with the result.  Hope you like!
