@Stichtawl: I think bear grease would be best for dry skin, but a bit hard to come by in the low countries.
@Iridal: we had school on saturday till well in the sixties; my father, who was a teacher had to work 6 1/2 days a week.
Lately there's been schooling on sunday being offered to ' underprivileged' but also for children that want to learn some more, like languages, grammar, astrology, art, music and such.
@Beppe: wouldn't you agree that little girls are just the cutest beings. When my daughter was little, I dressed her up like a doll: little white sock with ruffles, black shiny shoes, little pink dresses with frills and little strawhats in summer. And she got everything from her father by just looking at him and using her little eyes and smile. He was like wax in her litte hands.
@Anh: you seem to work hard, but don't forget to enjoy yourself, you're only young once!

good morning to you. they are at the swimming pool, I am at home while my friend and mason Michele is doing some first aid on the roof. Frost had some tiles exploded. This summer a whole section will have to be redone. No big deal. The problem is the top, he will just put some lead on it waiting to do a proper job later. Circulating money is healthy. It goes, it comes back ...

yes little girls are absolutely fantastic. We dress her how it happens, boy, hippie, doll whatever. She will choose what she will be when she is older.
Wife is the soft one, I am the though, the bad cop. But when she cries she comes to me and I wipe her tears with my handkerchief. Take her up in my arms and cuddle her. She loves that.

She just came up to show me the 7 rings she is now wearing.

It's not all that easy to come by even in bear country! They are somewhat reluctant to part with it!

@Anh: you seem to work hard, but don't forget to enjoy yourself, you're only young once!

Anh, don't believe her! I'm working on my third time around at being young!
One of the advantages of old age is that we no longer worry about 'acting mature!"

Dinner was a real flop tonight. For some reason we got skinny chickens. No fat on 'em, so the meat was dry and with little flavor. Good for my diet but terrible for my taste buds! After baking, there was hardly any fat in the pan!
At least the tea was good. Can't miss when it's Fortnum & Mason's Ceylon!

than they become something else

I gave up the idea of possession long time ago, and substitute it with concepts like responsibility, enjoyment, trust, ... At least I try. Had to, otherwise I would have had to succumb to guilt

Cold Arabica-coffee. Going to work some.

I, for one, am quite glad that they do! While the little ones are cute and fun, the big ones are even more fun!

I see you look well on your avatar; hopefully that reflects your actual condition.

As a very wise hair stylist once told me, "Women pay a lot of money to have highlights like that." Welcome to the club!
