Pannonian, thank you

And I really was dozy that morning. When I read it later, I heard what you were saying (before your reply), and believe me, even on first reading there was no offense taken whatsoever.

LOL, Nautikos!

Indeed. I did check out Nepal, but I'm not crazy about flying, and it's too far to walk or swim....

I agree, the choice should be theirs, but only after they have been sufficiently indoctrinated on the history of hockey! LOL! sam

adnohr: Re: Pannonian

The intended meaning of my comment seems to have got lost in the translation. I like the way you say it, irrespective of the topic. It was meant as a compliment. Never mind.

If I hadn't admired you already, I would certainly do so now! I think I would rather be a hermit somewhere in the hills of Nepal than commit to the raising af another batch of rug rats, no matter how much I loved them...

Thank you, calia14.

It's nice to know that readers can feel some of that warmth.

Ah, Justi, but I would love to be able to grant your wish.

You are a mother to so many who need you. You are more than welcome to share my boys with me - it is a privilege that you do so.

Today is the first day, JimmyA

And the Mommy stepped up, so she & my son are at the school right now with the boys. I'll hear about it all when they get back.

Thank you, UtahJay

Sharing love at home makes dealing with the rest of the world a little easier, I think.

Mama is starting to come around, Kabu.

We had a little chat - but that would be a blog post. I'm the first one to admit that I'm haveing a great time!

Thank you, TAPS

Yes, they are beautiful...and active. it would be a book along the lines of 'Please don't eat the Daisies', LOL!

It does have precious moments, FSI

It's the beginning of a huge adventure at 5 years old!!

Goes to prove everything happens for a reason, C.C.T.

Not accepting that job offer has put me in the postion to be able to help people who are far more important to me!

I guess I'm a little slow today but, ummm...ok.

I hope it will keep me young, Pat_B,

but believe me, on certain days, after chasing rug rats around, my body feels very much older!!

So good to read about such a heartfelt and warm time

Dear Lady

Your beautiful posts make me happy and sad at the same time. I want the presence of my sons. I would so love to see what their children would have looked like. So I share in yours for a blessing. Thank you.

Hmmm . . . getting prepared to return to school! Nope . . . I don't miss it one bit! Good luck with the rug rats!

I am happy you are managing well, especially with an adopted situation where you are raising children again sis. God Bless you.

I don't believe there is anything quite as warm as a hug from one of our own. The way your love for your family, including dogs, shines through each of your posts is like a little sunshine, warm and welcome.

I am admiring you, this is a big job you have taken on and the Mama has

opted out from. Those beautiful little boys are indeed blessed and you may be usy but Oh what joy they will also be.

Beautiful post.  Your beautiful grandchildren are so fortunate to have so much love available to them, and in such a grand way.  There has to be a best-selling book in all of that.

It is hard to believe that it is that time of the year...The first day at school had with it so many precious moments.

It sounds terrifying Adnohr, although I guess you love a challenge , Well better than waiting for a flight to nowhere on a chilly morning with your mascara smudged and a lump in your chest. Thinking when you were offered that last promotion.

It is not what you say but how you say it that makes the difference.

All this will keep you young - and in touch with the cool slang.

Lucky you are to have each other! You've given me a smile for the day. :)
