If you’ve read here, even for a short time, you know of my deep love for my family. I LURVS THEM! When I’m with any of them, they have my full attention. I’m all in, making every moment count. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve lived long enough to know that things can …
How many “Don’t Do This, You Crazy Grandmother” articles have I read in the last 9-months? Too damned many. That’s right, makes me a little twitchy being told by strangers to stay inside my grandma lines when all we newbs need is a little understanding.
