I love to travel and look forward to our 3 cruises next year.
That is exciting news, will look forward to hearing where you go, and seeing your photos.
I don't understand people trying to keep up either.
Tilda is adorable!! That would definitely make me sad too. We are waiting for our youngest to be a bit older before we get a pet. She's a bit animal obsessed and would give the poor thing way too much love.
Agh, the Joneses -- it's not point for us. with one salary, we don't have the money to even try. What surprises me is that the "haves" can be so insensitive towards us "have nots". They forget that not everyone has the money to put their kids in every single sporting or activity club.
I never got the need for stuff. All stuff does is clutter your house and make you poor. Don't get it myself.
There's very few people who truly enjoy public speaking. You obviously have a gift.
Have a blessed weekend!
I think it is a real gift to be able to do one's own thing and not be swayed by outside pressures.... to be able to enjoy the simple things in life..... no doubt a lot more difficult with children whose friends all have certain things.
Rory, the love and the positive attitude in your home will make up for it because you are there with your children!
Reminds me of an ad on TV at the moment for insurance... a man and child playing cricket on Wii... and the man says (as if it was something terrible and a Wii is now an essential item for living) "In my day we hit a ball around the backyard" ... My thoughts are - well why not invite some neighbourhood children or school friends over and play in the backyard, everyone would be better off.
Exactly, Wayne.
Years ago I participated in a club, and sometimes got an invite to b a guest speaker, but nowadays I still enjoy being in front of the crowd at the Seniors Groups and Aged Care when we entertain them... and get a laugh with our off-the-cuff comments.
A Blessed weekend to you too.
It's always sad thinking about our furbabies getting older.
Have a great weekend!
I am always willing to speak ..public ...private.. heck even to myself lol
And who the heck are the Jones's anyway??? Never heard about them in the Bible so yep guess they do not matter I am content with what I have. The way it should be!!
Tilda is a cutie.... it is so hard watching them age - I know... Enjoy every second with her!
