Let’s talk about love…not romantic love because I’m too old and too married for all that.
I think we’ll stick with motherly love,  altogether a much more palatable subject and very topical if you’re in the UK (since it’s Mothering Sunday here, but I think not in the US?). I was treated to breakfast in bed [...]

My first Art Exchange gift arrived in the mail today, all the way from Chelmsford USA (not Chelmsford about 30 miles up the road). But who send the gift? No note, no details…was it you? Do you know who it was?

Love that photo above, taken by my Dad’s wife. Love how Bertie is trying to impress us with his impression of their dog panting…meanwhile I’m ignoring him and taking photos of the dog….and Trudy has focused on me, not Bertie, in this shot. WAAAAH! Poor [...]
