A Second Chance
My youngest child holds a special fascination for me. K has always maintained she has my mannerisms and facial expressions – certainly my temperament! From the moment she was able to involve herself in the family communications, the evidence to support his case grew and grew… Continue reading
Pucks and Punch-Ups
What a night! I couldn’t be classed as a sports fan by any stretch of the imagination, but as some of you know from yesterday’s post, Monday evening saw K and I brave the cold to take the GO train to Toronto for our first ever hockey game… Continue reading
“Life is like a box of chocolates…”
