Home is the sailor, Home from the sea...

Dino beat the weather home, arriving unaccounced & unexpected. I was pontificating at bible study so missed his arrival but Dearest & Iss were both here to welcome him. He hates it if no~one's home when he gets in & promptly warmed the cockles of his father's heart by saying how nice it was to have a family to come home to for Christmas. Funny boy. He doesn't spend much time here but he likes to know we're here.

Meanwhile Theo is in clover & working next door. He rolls out of bed just before 7am & strolls over sipping his cuppa & finishing off his toast. Home for a hot lunch. (Can I afford this?) And he has the work truck over so has his own set of wheels.

Ditz & I are filling in our Mondays with the bible study we can't normally get to & drop off Liddy's lunch on our way through. This confuses her & the first week she wanted to know why we hadn't brought up her lunch. Howl of protest from Ditz (who had hand made & hand delivered it )that yes indeed she had got her lunch! Liddy, being busy at the time, had put it in the fridge & promptly forgotten it & consequentially starved all day. Silly kid. She didn't let it out of her sight today!

It was a crazy busy weekend so I'm catching up this AM. Interesting story of the young man who flagged you down. Pretty scary when you think about it- it could've been soemone up to no good and yet every day there a re REAL people out there, sincerely in trouble! Thank God it all turned out well.

Kids are something-you never realize what an impact we make on them as parents sometimes. My grown children surprise me a lot sharing how important that sense of family structure has bee in their own lives! Nice to know that you've done something right!
