Childhood memories through rose-colored glasses - aye there's the rub as the great bard said...........

But you know something, I had that growing up here in the US, grew up out in the country on a farm (in VT and NH before the tree huggers moved in). It was a simpler, nicer time that childhood, something kids today can't imagine.

Yes, she is.
6 little nippers on the way.
Told us so over the week-end. We should all be very happy for her.
Poor thing is bed-ridden though, really should start a thread or something to cheer her up.

Hang in there Joisey, better have the hubby buy a catchers mitt - just in case.
