My husband is a genius. In times of trouble and strife, he is always there to pick me up. Well after twenty years together you would hope so. Take this morning for example. I woke early with my eldest daughter who fled the nest yesterday, weighing heavily on my mind. No moping in bed for … More Men do not improve with age.
We all try to teach our children about fairness, and being good sports.

This morning my son stood before me, towering above me, and just for a moment I saw him as others do. A tall, sallow, boy of eighteen, almost a man, with a mop of brown hair and a huge smile. I rarely see this boy. When I look at him I see a happy, smiling … More I Am Free.
I love to read posts as they are posted. I love the variety. Recently on one site, I am so sorry I do not know which one, there was a post which caught my eye. “10 ways you know you are good in bed” Well I respectfully suggest that anyone who has 10 ways is … More Are You Good In Bed?
Anyone who read yesterdays blog, will know we had a very sad day. Our dog has gone to chase rabbits, on that farm in the sky. After all the upset and drama, we are now left quiet and a bit empty.
