germanspitz: Stick around please, we need an injection of humour and you'll do just nicely. You can even sit in my Zen garden for a cool off.
Thank you!

Mongo likes gardens. Do you have any lavender in your Zen garden? Mongo thinks the smell of lavender is very calming. banana

With that feeling I mean you are at home on a sunday afternoon, due to the church you got nothing to do, you can't go visit your friends, for it's against the will of the church and also it is raining outside. It's a kinda lonely feeling where you must try to enjoy yourself. Sweet child of mine from Guns n Roses is also such kinda song.

Yes ,it's a great attraction for bees and the smell is divine on a sunny day. I have a eucalyptus too as that keeps wasps away. Ice cream and cool drinks on hand too.hug

Well, they are in that song, they also made some crappy songs. Patience is one of the song I'm really disgusted with.

I grew up in eastern Canada and I was a free range kid, went out the door in the morning and never come home till bedtime and above all else, don't ever let the parents know what I was up to as it was usually something bad.

Moved to this farm when a baby and been here ever since. Except less than two years with ex for army time.
Only child, dad was older than mom by 25 years. We were the 3 Musketeers. One for all and all for one. Ran wild in woods, river and barn. Friends were animals. Only people I saw outside of school were adults so grew up old. My parents were the best I could have asked for. Taught me, supported me, loved me, were my parents and later my friends. Dad taught me when he died, the farm and mom were my responsibility and taught me the skills and strength to do it.teddybear

I was born in southern Spain. My parents emigrated to France when I was1 yr old. Grew up in a small village one of 4 children. Dad built houses, Mum looked after our home. Money was tight but we were ok. Went to UK when I was 20 to improve my English. Stayed for 27 years laugh I think I accomplished that particular mission.
Now back in Spain not that far from where I was born. .. yay
