I’ve decided that Fridays – along with any updates from the family – can be of what the title above implies. What’s new and what’s important from this week (at least to me). Or, at least interesting and entertaining. Or all of the above.
Need-to-knowsThis the reason why I’m very cautious about buying any sort of […]

Who’s a clean-freak? It’s certainly not me, although I have improved over the years. Adam? More so. So, this morning, when he says as he’s leaving, in a warning voice, “This house is getting messy again” I got a bit ‘miffed’. He is a bottom-line man. End-product focused.
