1 more sleep - WE'RE FEELING IT!

Hello friends... as a child when something exciting was going to happen, we always asked "how many more sleeps until...".  Well... there is only 1 more sleep (tonight) until the opening of the FIFA World Cup Soccer Tournament in South Africa.

I am very emotional as I type this post (I know... I'm a real softie), as I have just returned from reading my fellow South African and blogfriend's post.  I just had to share it with you.  Please visit Tertia, our Crafting Gran, as she and her school children are going to be the ****STARS**** of the Opening Ceremony tomorrow.

Let me tell you, at the southernmost tip of Africa, WE'RE FEELING IT!  Yesterday at 12 noon everyone who had a Vuvuzela, stopped what they were doing and blew it for about 10-15 minutes. It was an awesome experience.

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you will tune in and I am holding thumbs that we won't disappoint you.


Thanks for visiting, Sharon x

Hiya Sharon. Bless you sweetie being emotional, and so you should be emotional. What a fantastic experience and wonderful honour for your country to be the hosts. Let me tell you Sharon, you are not the only emotional person out there, there are many more thousands of us around the world, sharing this fantastic experience with you. ENJOY IT ALL. We will be, and you will be in our thoughts. Happy Days, BE PROUD.
Lots of love, Sandra xx

Hi Sharon, oooo how exciting for you! I will be thinking of you and your blogging pal tommorrow, when we watch the opening ceremony. You go be emotional if you want to, I cry at anything, especially if it reminds me of my dear mum who I lost in 1989, anything starts me off, lol! Enjoy yourself tommorrow, big hugs Heidi xx

Awww Sharon!!! You're making me all emotional too, I just miss home terribly!!! Wish I could be there to soak up the atmosphere sob! I'm still supporting you all, I have my Vuvuzela and every now and then I blow it out the window just to make sure the neighbours are awake lol!! They must think I'm nuts, wonder if they even know what it is or what it represents hehe! Enjoy everything my friend. Will be watching the concert tonight, can't wait actually. Thanks for sharing and keeping me up to speed. Lotsa luv xxxx
