My father used to say to me & my brothers was that the only thing he wanted to leave us when he was gone was the ability to take care of ourselves.
What else would one expect from an old leatherneck?
Despite a few bumps in the road, we have done just that. Ditto for our children.
I was asked what I wanted for Christmas so I said 25 euros on my Kindle would be good. Our daughter said she read 15 (fifteen) books this year and showed me this list on her app. I was impressed. This year I watched a lot of documentaries on YouTube and stuff. So I thought in the New Year I’d like to read more.
When I added the 25 euros to the account, I saw it already had 25 euros that I forgot about. Merry Double Christmas!
Why would she think a boy would like a story about a girl and a doll?
Never heard of it will have to check i it out.
I constantly got chastised for letting our toddlers slide down a loooong slide down a very slow hill at the city park. It was so slow that they’d have to scoot themselves in a couple of parts. I also got chastised for letting them walk to grandma’s when they were in elementary. Down a country road We’re in the country and 500 yards with me standing in the road watching and them calling when they got to grandma’s - oh, the horror! We taught them life skills early.
A few years ago, we had our nephews visit and they were such whiney butts. Wouldn’t even go to the attached garage to see the newborn kitties. Wouldn’t help pick tomatoes in the garden right outside the back door. And certainly wouldn’t take any tomatoes to grandma’s house. Why? Because it is oooooh, outside!!!! No, the garage isn’t outside but too close to being outside........ sigh. They never played outside at their home in a nice neighborhood.
