The company where I now work has recently purchased two lots of mini-warehouses, each lot containing 80 units, and one of my duties is to ascertain that these are well managed.

Little Miko was allowed to come home last Saturday, so Mémère packed a suitcase and did as she had promised she would do – spend the week with the new parents.

Our Miko has made it home to Mommy and Daddy after two very long months, and Mémère is helping out for the first week. Cuddles, you say??? And do you see the SMILE?
