A normal Rosie
This was just a normal day with Rosie, but it’s pure gold. Â Thank you Mary Jean Irion for ensuring I appreciate these days. Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in…

Where are all the decent people?
I want to believe in karma, I really do. Andrew and I are good people who let other motorists out in traffic, have never made a fraudulent insurance claim and who always hold doors open for people. But we don’t seem to have the kind of luck that one would associate with this kind of…
