You are so right about the advantages of living with other people, and you seem to model the best ways to make the most of the opportunities.GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-43763576791991121932017-06-21T08:53:39.725+10:002017-06-21T08:53:39.725+10:00Well, I only have one human child at home now. Two...Well, I only have one human child at home now. Two if you count the Man Child, who I swear becomes more child-like with every year he earns past 60. What's with that? Then there's the Whippet Child, who at the grand age of 77 in human years, can be permitted some juvenile, needy behaviour. Mostly I see my grandchildren growing in my image. They are sweet, loving, creative and innocent. They could ONLY have inherited those characteristics from me, right?

Or did we treat them so differently that they turned out like this? I can't see it, especially with twins..Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-83798872831843568192017-06-20T11:58:09.673+10:002017-06-20T11:58:09.673+10:00I so enjoyed this post. :) That getaway sounded ...I so enjoyed this post. :) That getaway sounded heavenly to me. I would have been the one on the beach looking for rocks, shells, anything really and watching the ocean waves just totally content and happy. The beach is one of my happy places. <br /><br />My own grown children are so very different from each other, even the twins. I have one who is really into computer and video games. He can tell you the latest in all those areas. One of my twins is completely obsessed with sports. He plays ever sport he can and is on several different teams. The other twin is my outdoorsman. He hunts, fishes and is happiest when he is out in the woods camping or working. I love though that they are all so supportive of each other and make time to spend together whenever possible, even if one lives completely across the country from the rest of us. SKYPE is a grand thing!<br /> Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-66228637485126340532017-06-19T22:23:03.571+10:002017-06-19T22:23:03.571+10:00Lucinda, I feel that your family should admire you...Lucinda, I feel that your family should admire your perfection more.. and we would all benefit from becoming more Lucinda-like.<br />Mr S is right.

How lucky to have friends with a place to stay at. <br /><br />As to quirks and changing others, obviously I am positively perfect and quite sane. But others must be tweaked and moulded and made more in my image. (I am shocked to hear that my family do not hold views of my normality, let alone perfection.). <br /><br />As to burnt dinners. No. well, actually yes. I can be distracted too. Why does it seem to happen in the last 5 to 10 minutes? Mr S would say because that is when you notice it. That it is always the last few minutes. Same as finding something in the last place you look. Cause then you stop looking. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
