Octo 31st, 2021
Happy Halloween, if that's your thing. It's not so much mine. Some of my kids do enjoy the Halloween thing.

Now I don't have a table we all fit … Continue reading Octo 31st, 2021

Once again it’s July 3rd
July the third keeps happening which is actually a good thing I suppose. I haven't like July 3rd much for many years. Thirty-eight years actually. It doesn't bother me as much as it used to, that's the time thing. It does heal or minimise, but I never forget. The sound of his laugh and the … Continue reading Once again it’s July 3rd
