At weekends Gary and I would spend all of Friday night, Saturday and Sundays together. Gary worked on contracts up and down the country as a result Gary worked away from home Monday to Fridays. Returning home Friday, early evening. During the week we always telephoned each other in the mornings, afternoons and evenings, how I miss those calls. Every time I called him on his mobile I would say "It's me" and he would always say "I know its you" I was always forgetting when I phoned my name would appear as the caller. How I wish I could call him to hear him say those words to me again. As soon as our little dog Patsy heard Gary's car come into the driveway she would jump up and look out the living room window, then run into the kitchen to wait at the door for Gary to enter. Patsy was so excited to see Gary. She still does the same to this day when she hears a car. Friday nights we spent with our friends from Carluke, over the years we had many a happy time spent with our friends. Saturdays we would do something different, we would go for a meal sometimes with friends sometimes on our own. Sundays were kept strictly for me and Gary to spend all day together before he had to return to work the next day for the rest of the week. I treasure the memories I keep in my heart of those times.
Tricia.
