In my testosterone heavy world it was appreciated and felt. Boys softened and big hugs returned as from across the Pacific came the news that we will remain in our beach house, hooray! SO there will be more DeeDee minding required in the future and chin wags, resource chucking & laughter also. Love the coffee rock stained sand & debris image, I wish I had your eye.

An all-girl troupe sounds divine. Your house is looking lovely too. I send my kids away for a bit every holidays, just for some peace-and-quiet, and the second they're gone I want them back!

Sounds absolutely blissful, Annie. I hope to be able to do that down the track one day, just me and the other female in the family. Funny how the number of kids becomes relative - I've found myself saying things like "I'll just take the 3 boys to the shops...". No doubt the boys had an equally, but different, time at home with Dad too. Mel xMel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.com
