Everytime Max went out he would be put into the bath and have his little feet washed down,and a little spray of water on his botty.BUT if i could have him back i would wash his feet with my kissses. This is of no importance to hell with the carpets,and let LOVE take over.Our house would still have been a HAPPY CLEAN HOUSE Max ;-)) For 15 years of my life I used to take care of a darling old lady that was 90 years old,that had worked for all the BIG people in Paris, Christian Dior,and made clothes for MOST of the houses in Paris. Well everyday i bathed her in her bed and she would cry ,because she was embaressed,and I used to cuddle her and sing and say,i know that you would do it for me.EVERYONE needs someone in their lifetime,especially when they ,are sick,and what JOY to have someone do what they have do it with LOVE,What WONDERFUL years we had together with her telling me of all the important people that she had worked for and all the wonderful clothes for stars in America and Paris,she had designed,and sewn them,and searched all over paris for the just right cloth,buttons,and everything that was needed to make these works of art. I LOVED her,and she LOVED me too. XXXXXXXXXX We made each day together HAPPY DAYS XXXXXXX
This little poem is for people that take care of animals ,and peope that they LOVE.
FEET TO BE WASHED.
Most of us,these days,never really get our feet dirty We wear shoes,not sandals;we put on overshoes when it rains. We ride in air -contioned cars insted of walking down lond dusty roads. or streets where animals bear the burdens of commerce. Many of us never get our feet dirty at all.
Not so when Jesus and his disiples gathered for the Passover meal It was one of the obligations of hospitality to enable a guest to bathe away the stains of travel, for a slave to cleanse the feet of those who reclined at your table, That night there was no servant present to wash travel-dusted feet; Only twelve men and te Man of God they followed.
Did no one want to play a servan'ts part?
Then Jesus rose from his place at the table, tucked a towel under the girdle of his robe, filled a basin,and began washing feet. It didn't matter that this was menial labor- and that He was a craftsman-a-carpenter; a teacher and a rabbi. It wasn't important that he was a leader and those twelve men were his followers. What was important was that here was an unmet need- So He filled the basin and washed ther feet.
And they didn't understand. They didn't want the job themselves, But they knew it wasn't proper for someone like the Master to do a slave's job. to wash their feet. I wonder how long it took them to comprehend . .
For we still haven't fully learned his lesson. Our pride and dignity are still important to us. "The way things are supposed to be done" still keeps us from seeing "what needs to be done" We still become wrapped up in our own needs and angers, our fears and griefs And we are blind to the agony of others.
It is only when the servant Christ becomes the center of our lives that we are free enough of our self-concerns to meet the need of others. It is only then that we are truly free- free,that is,to serve.
And He girded himself with a towel
and washed their feet.

Thank you Peter for answering and explaining. When they lived in the square would that have been in the middle close ? If it is the close I am thinking I remember the Collins family that lived also top flat,or perhaps I am in the wrong close.

LOVED all your photos. You all looked GREAT.So HAPPY that you had a WONDERFUL time together.THOUGHT about you ALL at Millport.
Ron,I think that I could have helped you to eat your Moby Dick little brother . Your fish and chips looked DELICIOUS Yum Yum. I am making fish and chips for our lunch today.but i can't get mine to look like that .I will just do like usual dip the cod into flour,then egg,then breadcrumbs. i don't have a deep fryer anymore,and I don't have a good recipe to make the batter.

Dear Charlie, I can't stop reading and coming back again to read again your time spent with darling Alex. Sometimes Charlie,you ask what you have done with your life,what you could have done to make this place a better place. I guess when I look at my life i would like to have given lot's more to others. I was one of the LUCKY ONES to have been LOVED I do realise my GIFT. BUT LIFE is SO UNFAIR. Some have so much and others have so little,and YET we all only live one time. I just want to say,BRAVO Charlie,to YOU,and the other darlings that share your work to make this world a BETTER place for the people less fortunate than us. If i could have my life again I do know what I would follow as career,it is where it should have been,with people like darling Alex,and his dear friends. It would have been a REAL LOVE to have helped them and made them feel important,BUT most of ALL we would have had GOOD times,and SO MUCH FUN......XXXXXXXXXXX BLESS THEM ALL XXXXXXXXX

Oh Alex,you looked a real toff with your lovely hat. I have many hatpins that I used to collect,I am sure we would have found one together for each of your hats and had a good old laugh together choosing just the right one for each of your treasures.
Sorry darling Alex,our ships never crossed. God Bless YOU XXXXXXXXXXX
