Still snickering in beautiful sunny Mexico that betrays me every morning with a near-freezing thermometer reading. Going to make lemongrass tea. Thank you for the snickering.

I laughed til I cried! I, too, have an elderly father who drives me up the wall. He called me at work to say he and Mum had an emergency. With pounding heart, as I put on my coat to leave, I asked him what was wrong. They needed lightbulbs...

Much of your dad could be attributed to my hubby... and my replies would be pretty much the same as yours! I cared for my mum in her final years, and this post brought back memories. Irish breakfast tea is sturdy and will warm the cockles of your heart

These are great. They are already so valuable and someday they will be even more so. He's a darn lucky guy. And you a darn lucky gal he's still around.

This was beautiful! It almost made me miss my father-in-law. Almost.
