On the other hand, MrL and I -after many years of intense parenting and school involvement - are enjoying finding ourselves again and remembering why it is that we liked each other so much in the first place. I can also vouch for the fact that young adults - at least so far - are absolutely delightful. They are potty-trained, civilized, have excellent hygiene (especially after they connect it to the likelihood of success on the romantic playing field,)can entertain themselves, have wonderful senses of humor, and can watch all the same movies and TV show that you like without worrying about mature content. Sticky hands and spontaneous hugs will definitely be missed, but you will find that the young people you've raised will be a great delight. There's a fantastic moment in parenting when you think about your own offspring, "I would choose you for a friend, even if you weren't my own child." -it doesn't get any better than that.<br />(by the way, red and white don't agree with me much these days - if I don't have burning cheeks, I'm getting a headache. I've solved the problem by switching to gin.)<br />Glad you're back.MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-6269888063695722202013-08-16T15:29:39.693+01:002013-08-16T15:29:39.693+01:00I still have a good relationship with white wine, ...I still have a good relationship with white wine, but I can't manage red wine.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-28410693013687455782013-08-16T12:25:30.512+01:002013-08-16T12:25:30.512+01:00Experiencing a blogging freeze too.

And yes...Ooh thank you for the link and kind words. And yes, I have a similar wine problem. <br /><br />Wine and I are like feisty latina lovers. We consume each other with passion but are left feeling awful once the affair passes. Mainly it gives me heart palpitations and disturbs my sleep but somehow I keep falling back into its arms....Melissahttp://talkaboutyork.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-25550346059222266912013-08-16T04:27:17.218+01:002013-08-16T04:27:17.218+01:00I like your blog and loved it on blogionaire.comI like your blog and loved it on blogionaire.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-82221771736759428112013-08-15T17:58:05.839+01:002013-08-15T17:58:05.839+01:00your laptop closes - mmmm, i wonder if mine does t...your laptop closes - mmmm, i wonder if mine does too ;) hope the summer was kinder to you than the wine not from laplandhttp://www.notefromlapland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-53093959631115271962013-08-15T16:20:49.371+01:002013-08-15T16:20:49.371+01:00Oh hello!
