yes it is, rose. In his defence I can say that my husband is out camping this weekend. But both the kids are home now. We usually don't do big gifts, but we do something nice for breakfast, hugs and maybe flowers or something sweet.

i gave my ex-DIL a posy of yellow roses with those tiny little white flowers in it. both her sons are in western australia. i thought they woild cheer her up, but she burst into tears.

and then the big question, lol... do I remind them or not? Would I appreciate anything after having had to remind them?

awwww but those are good tears, rose. You touched her.

she is a very special young lady, sprite. and my son is an idiot!!!!

don't remind them, sprite, it looks too whiny. Just "forget' their next occasions. Maybe they'll catch on

3:46 am
grannyrose

poor ruby......
3:46 am

oh I am not big on revenche, ruby. It is just that I don't really like to remind them... the worth of today is in them remembering and appreciating, right? Not in having to do something for needy mother.
3:47 am

sprite, i'm a sort of surrogate mum to her. since her father died, her own mum has completely gone to pieces. yes, understandable, but she now must move on, and stop leaning on her daughter so much.

because being in pain and needing help sucks big time, Jjenny. It is hard to have patience while healing.
4:04 am

because you are typically female, lol. we are not used to sitting around and not 'doing'.
4:04 am

snap dragons = antirhinans(sp?)

Jenny..we humans are very impatient creatures..the body needs time to fix its self.

My husband has been absolutely wonderful but... he doesn't understand the 'womans' touch e.g. he doesn't plump up the cushions, straighten the ornaments etc
4:06 am

yes Jjenny, Antirrhinum indeed.
4:06 am

and he won't feel fully at home without knowing why until you can fix it again, Jjenny...
4:06 am

jenny, you should have seen me, after my knee op. i nearly drove himself nuts...wanted to do everything for myself, but was unable to do so.

s'okay, zooz. most men can't keep up with a woman's conversation. lol

I can sit quite comfortbly now with my knee bent, which is so much better than having a stiff leg. I still look horrendous with two black eyes, bruising right down to my neck and a huge purple bump on my forehead. This lump is not painful, but is slightly squishy as it is full of blood!
4:17 am
zoozzoom

Eww..sounds painful, even if you say it isn't..poor, Jenny :-(
4:17 am
grannyrose

ouch, jenny. you poor darling! are you using arnica ointment? it reduces bruising very well.
4:17 am

aw Jjenny! Small wonder you don't feel good. You need loads of tlc to heal. Be good to yourself, hun.

bye rose, enjoy! *hug*

Enjoy your meal, Rose :-)
4:19 am

but so close, zooz
4:20 am
zoozzoom

I was on Warfarin for six months not so long ago, Jenny..had to keep getting check ups every week..so annoying.
4:20 am
sprite

no broken bones is good. But bruising takes time to heal. And don't worry about feeling down... body and mind are conspiring to keep you calm enough to heal, so you are bound to feel low.
4:21 am
zoozzoom

Ditto, Sprite
4:21 am
Jivingjenny0

I am on it for life after a blood clot on the lungs and I had it down to blood tests once a month but any accident or infection throws the results and i'm back to every week at the moment
4:22 am

frustrating, Jjenny. *careful gentle hugs*
4:23 am
zoozzoom

Well that is understandable why it has gone back to weekly..but once the wounds have healed, i am sure it will go back to monthly again :-)

Hi all, Back again for a little bit. U still here jenny? I have been on warfarin since 1996 due to clots of unknown origin but back in 2009 when i fell down stairs at work I had black eyes and all sort of crappy stuff. My control is v hit and niss and the results in the spring and autumn are always bad - either too high or too low. Its a pain not being able to use arnica. You also need to steer clear of St Johns Wort and Gingko biloba

it was ambiguous but the clue to the probability of two dogs was une saying "young" at the beginning and "puppy" at the end - would be redundant if one dog, thus odds were she meant two.

The best Mothers Day my older two ever pulled off when they were teenagers was to get up around 8 (an ungodly hour for them at the time) and fix me breakfast in bed. It was served in a reconverted pizza delivery box with ____ & ____'s Delivery Service Written on the box. Later, when I expected to find a disastrously dirty kitchen, I found it spotless. They, of course, had gone back to bed. : D
6:59 am

Spotless kitchen after 2 teen boys - wow! A miracle and certainly the best surprise!

well none of my clothes needed ironing and if they did i would rather wear them wrinkled. . .
3:06 pm
lilliann

i agree with molly. i hate ironing and can only do a little at a time because of the arthritis in my fingers, so it takes longer
3:06 pm

teaching me to iron would be a new wrinkle in my life
3:06 pm

i really must get a nice set of kitchen scales.all these wonderful recepies and here us canucks and american are still creating goodies measuring by volume vs weight which is more sensible
3:25 pm

i may do that . . . i am trying to revive my lawnmower. . i am hoping if i charge it enough and glue the weedwhacker back together i will be able to hit the grass back a little. . .
3:26 pm

you can usually get champagne on sell right after new year lill
3:27 pm
jmcnrick

i measure by eyeball which is probably why i can bake forshizzle.
3:28 pm
lilliann

i normally just use tablesppons and each heaped tablespoon is about an ounze and it's always worked for me
3:29 pm
lilliann

i work in ounzes not grams
3:29 pm

scales are much better when flour is involved however.been meaning to get a nice set in metric
3:30 pm

the amreican recipies are easy as i still have a pile of old measuring cups under the counter
3:30 pm

i still add flour in tbsp's crossy and my cakes and yorkies always turn out well
3:31 pm
crosshair

lol,i do my yorkies by eye:))
3:31 pm
lilliann

i have some measuring cups and spoons somewhere but obviously our recipes never say cups,it's always ounzes or grammes
3:31 pm

Never cooked or baked by ounces, never will. Cup and spoon measures work just fine for me.

3:33 pm

tonight i am doing cubed chicken breast in a broccoli cream sauce wrapped in crecent roll dough and topped with cheese and baked in the oven

and dashes,and pinches

lol molly...i like the plops :)
3:34 pm

everyone who plays in a kitchen knows exactly what a dash and a pinch is also:))
3:34 pm

crecent roll dough, is that the shap or the make crossy?
3:35 pm

Today is one of those days I'm glad I have a freezer stocked with portions I've made before. I'm fixing the boy gumbo and French bread. I am too full from lunch to even think about dinner.
3:35 pm

the stuff pilsbury sells in those cans in the dairy section
3:36 pm

It's canned dough L. Puff pastry is a good substitute if you don't get it over there.
3:36 pm
crosshair

yes indeed
3:37 pm

of course it is heart attack on a plate,but looks and smells so good
3:38 pm

i am on at least my 6th life now anyways ,so i enjoy my food
3:39 pm

i've seen pilsbury here as in cookie dough, but puff pastry sounds good.it sounds nice crossy
3:39 pm
penquis

as do i...making me hungry here...
3:39 pm
crosshair

it looks very tasty and easy,you are just basically making chicken broccoli turnovers and baking them with shredded cheese on top
3:40 pm
crosshair

since the filling is already cooked it takes a short time to bake the cheese onto it and cook the dough
3:40 pm
lilliann

my daughter is making cornish pasties at school on tuesday but what makes me laugh is that they have to cook the filling at home and take it in as they won't have time to do that and cook them.they made the pastry last week at school and froze it.why cook something at school when you've made the main thing at home? why don't they make something they do have time to cook
3:41 pm
crosshair

it is like the bake sales now that can only have pre packaged store snacks.all a shadow of what they used to be
3:42 pm
MollyL

I'll use pie crust or puff pastry over the canned dough anytime. Not a big fan of the canned dough.

L, filo is way too fiddly to make (I like that word). Why bother when you can get it pre-made. The crescent dough from Pillsbury has an odd taste that I don't care for, so I use other things to replace it in recipes that call for it.
3:54 pm
lilliann

puff pastry is a pain in the butt to make aswell.why go through all that when it is just as cheap to buy it fresh or frozen.i'm even lazier and if i can get it rolled out already i will

Thank. You. Cos. Where do I get pistachios at 10.35 pm in rural Ireland to satisfy my Cos induced crave???
4:41 pm

Oh, how about the people who try to "sound" 21 and sound creepy doing it?
4:44 pm
Soodle

Fond memories of pistachios. Having spent 2 glorious weeks island hopping in Greece, we landed back in Athens airport with about 8 drachmas. All we could afford was a pack of pistachios. They kept body & soul together for 48 hours. We nearly ate the shells, we were that hungry!

Hesring aids, and braces to keep their pants up!

Probably not, if they're kids now. Technology will be able to cure hearing loss without hearing aids well before then.

I am almost done so here is a st5/4 with to4/4 of clues. A few years ago I was a witness to a bank he 5/12. The police asked if I could help ID the robber since I was the only witness to the theft. I told them I was too afraid to help. They said eit5/12 I help them or I get arrested for obstruction of justice. I was ot6/18 w/my pleas of fear. So I identified him.I was able to identify him because of his ha 4/5. He also had ha 5/16 arms, which helped me identify him. When I identified him, he gave me this ee 4/6 look like he could see me through the 1 way mirror It was the ee7/28 feeling I ever felt. I had also recently become a he7/32.I was afraid he would find me & take my money. Even though I am an at7/32,I prayed to God that he did not know it was me identifying him. I was so scared of being found out by him,I hi4/5d a body guard for awhile.Since I was the only person who could ID him the police told me I was he 4/5 since he never would've been caught if it weren't for me.Hubby is being a sn4/4 and wants to to4/4 me off the computer. Ei 6/21 I give it to him or he will th 5/20 a temper tantrum and cause a ri4/4 and we get into a he 4/5ed argument. I hope th 4/5 helped you find more words. I'm going to ri 4/4 out of this se4/4 and go watch a film no4/4 on IFC.I will be back in th 5/12 hours to enter my last word and to clue before I reti4/4 for the night.Goodbye for now Babblers

i quite agree molly.there is help out there for people with issues but if they don't ask or even if they have had help, it will never make a difference as some are beyond help and then you have the terrorists which are never going to stop.the one thing that really gets to me is when someone takes their own childrens lives because they can't cope with life.that really annoys me.fair enough, take your own life if that is what you want but let the children have theirs
5:20 pm

What Lilliann & Molly said. I've witnessed too many atrocities here. Nobody wins- whatever the cause. Once a person loses their life, or their limbs, or their suffers in any way, it's too too much.

Appalling grammar in last post, but you get my drift....

Hello all. Just getting started on Babble. I've had such a nice day of putting together a lunch for my sons and my husband. We had three puppies in the house and they all get along so well, too.
5:47 pm
Nef

Jilly, physically he did well; but he's forgetful today. We went to 9AM Mass because the have a blessing of the sick afterwards; he reminded me about it before church but he went out to the car afterwards and forgot about it.
5:47 pm

Aw Gran Mere. Sounds like a nice Mother's Day for you. Glad to hear it, you deserved a nice meal with the people you love.

5:51 pm
stidgmere

Yes, jilly it has been lovely and I needed thyme for our pizza but checking our yard, somehow the thyme did not survive the winter. BUT, my present was a pot of assorted herbs (growing) and we used the fresh thyme from that!
5:51 pm
MollyL

L...L...Earth to L...that is Gran Mere.
5:51 pm
Jillyjill

5:51 pm

Oh, nice gift Gran Mere. And one that will keep on giving.
5:52 pm

We all look alike, lilliann. Mama and I often come out with the same word, or phrase at the same time. To talk to one is to talk to the other.
5:52 pm

5:52 pm

Ah, I love the connection with Mother Earth, Gran Mere. We are two peas in a pod. : )
5:54 pm
lilliann

well herbs are easy to grow.just shove them in a pot and water them and hey ho they grow, that's why i like them.luckily enough, mine seem to have made it through the bad winter
5:54 pm
Nef

I tried to set up my herb garden today but need to do some sort of jury-rigging to get the planter on the new railing on the back steps now. The old railings were too wobbly and last fall we had some work done including a new railing; the new railing is incompatible with the planter fixture now.
5:57 pm
lilliann

can you not just have a big planter on your step so it saves putting one on your railings.if it's a large one you won't have to lean down so much
5:58 pm
Nef

It's for DH Lilli. He loves to cook, and having it at waist high height is easiest on his back.
5:59 pm
Nef

And our back step is basically a 3 X4 foot landing; not quite big enough to put extra stuff on it
5:59 pm
lilliann

oh i see nef, yes that's understandable.is there not someone that can sort it out for you?
5:59 pm
Nef

I do have a plan, now. Just have to go out and find the right piece of wood in the garage....
6:00 pm
MollyL

We need to find a raised bed builder for a bunch of people here.
6:00 pm
lilliann

ahh, well i hope your plan works nef :)
6:00 pm
lilliann

we certainly do molly
6:01 pm

lilliann

well, i've had enough of turning films over tonight because of language and serious violence so i'm going to be sad and watch working girl
6:02 pm
Nef

I have some heavy 1 foot by 5 feet timbers that I've nailed together and put up on dble-stacked 5 gallon buckets last summer for him with long planters on them. He was happy as a clam to garden that way (and the rabbits didn't eat all the veggies ei 6/21.
6:03 pm
MollyL

Nef, I refuse to believe that you ever sleep, or relax.
: D
6:04 pm
Nef

Ah, Molly, the Aunt who raised me had the mind-set that if a man could do something; so could a woman. I've dabbled in lots of DIY projects and about the only ones I won't attempt anymore are plumbing-related.
6:04 pm
lilliann

good for you nef
6:05 pm
Nef

(I *really* suck at plumbing!)
6:05 pm
MollyL

I believe that too Nef. I'd still like to find a man to do most of it for me though. So far, no luck.
6:05 pm
lilliann

well, you can't be good at everything nef :)
6:05 pm
Nef

Of course, I use a lot of electric tools these days and I still can't open a jar of pickles! :-D
6:06 pm
lilliann

i have man, but he's never here to do anything and when he is, it's not for long or he's having a well earned rest getting over all the hard work he's done
6:07 pm
lilliann

lol, i can't either nef, which is why i have things to help me open them..the bairn is one of those things :)
6:08 pm

DH is my jar opener too, lilli! :-)

how old is your daughter, lilli?
6:09 pm
lilliann

13 going on 30 :)
6:09 pm

Jilly, my son used to get altitude sickness going from here to MSLA when he was young!
6:09 pm
lilliann

bye jill. enjoy the rest of your day.tc
6:09 pm
Nef

She will be around a few more years then, lilli
6:10 pm
Nef

bye Jilly!
6:11 pm
lilliann

mmm, thanks for the reminder nef!(just joking) aye, she can be a pain like all 13 year olds but i wouldn't be without her and we've had a lovely day today and didn't argue once, which is very rare for us...so i'm thinking tomorrow may well be different!
6:14 pm
Nef

LOL! I remember those days well. I got so tired of my dtr's attitude and the girl she was hanging with (very BAD influence!) that I told her to pack some clothes and get in the car and we were going to run away. Best thing I ever did with her. We've had "girls' runaways" every so often since then. (She's 30 now)
6:17 pm
Nef

I drove up the North Shore of Lake Superior and we talked and had no plan to go or see anything. Being cooped up in a car for hours driving loosens the tongue.
6:18 pm
lilliann

sounds cool nef, but if we had runaways we'd want to kill eachother and still argue. i was thinking of maybe going away for a week in the school holidays on our own but the fun wouldn't last, we'd want to leave eachother behind on the first day.we are just so much alike and neither of us will back down...it's gun at dawn with us.but saying that, she does come to me with any problems so i'm glad that she can feel she can do that as i couldn't with my mam until i was 25 and now my mam and i are the best of friends
6:19 pm
MollyL

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but when I get a chance to visit with my kids, playing Babble with them is not on my hit parade. : D
6:20 pm
lilliann

my daughter would just sulk and ignore me if cooped up in the car unless she can have control of the radio and can play on her ds or my ipad which she broke yesterday :)
6:21 pm
Nef

I totally agree, Molly.
6:24 pm
lilliann

you go to the shops which are 10 minutes away and she's bored and wants to take books and allsorts with her and her dad and me tell her it's 10 minutes in the car not 5 hours, so she plays on her phone instead.kids today....we never had any of what they had and were quite happy playing i spy and waving at other drivers and counting how many waved back when we went on long journeys and singing songs with our parents.i enjoyed our long trips
6:24 pm
Nef

lilli, my str. did sulk and ignore me and play her CD's (with headphones) until there was an accident right in front of us. I flipped into my "nurse" role (and out her opinion of me being a PIA) and assisted in rescuing a girl trapped under the car; gave first aid, etc. before the ambulance got there. But the thing is that you really can only go a few hours withoiout talking on a road trip like that.
6:26 pm
MollyL

I worry about kids these days. (Sounds so old, I know) They are always "bored" and need constant electronic stimulus.
6:27 pm
Nef

I enjoyed long trips too, lilli. I'm pretty shocked at all the stuff kids have to "entertain" themselves in the car these days. They never look at their surroundings. I refuse to let our grandson have electronics in the car for that reason alone.
6:27 pm
lilliann

that was good that she could see you in your nurse mode and realize what a tough but worthy job you have and it was very llucky that you were there at that time.was the girl ok in the end?
6:28 pm
Nef

(My son gave him a cheap tablet to play angry birds in the car; plus he has a Leap Frog electronic learning tablet too. I told my son not to use them as pacifiers in the car.
6:28 pm
Lizlin

Good morning / good evening Lili, Nef and Molly (and others) :)
6:30 pm
Nef

She ended up with a couple of 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her legs. But the guy in the car wasn't harmed; he was wearing his seat belt (she was the driver and was ejected; luckily, it had been raining for some time and she landed in mud in a dip on a hill under tha care
6:31 pm
Nef

Hi Lizlin.
6:31 pm
Lizlin

Lucky you were there, Nef
6:31 pm
lilliann

i know, i get sick of 'are we there yet?' after 20 minutes, but we play games as in name that car and that sort of thing which she loves and wave at coach drivers and passengers and see who waves back and we do quizzes but there are times when we let her have some time on her phone or my ipad, sometimes we take portable cd player so she can watch a film but then that gives me and hubby either a little bit of peace and quiet as the bairn talks all the time or so it gives us time to talk to eachother
6:31 pm
lilliann

hi liz :)
6:32 pm
Nef

And I shook like a leaf afterwards because of the stress and adrenalin!
6:32 pm
MollyL

Kids miss the sound, smell and sight of the world around them. They are too wrapped up in ear bud music and texting and other things that are flat and don't bring much joy.
6:33 pm
lilliann

she was very lucky then nef and luckier that you were on the scene at the time and that you and your daughter weren't involved in the accident
6:33 pm
stidgmere

All for now. I'm going to warm up left overs. Except the cake, best eaten at room temperature. Thank you for your good company this afternoon.

Lilli, that reminded me of a trip with my dtr and my Uncle (who had lung cancer and died a few months later) My str. was 5 at the time; and she talked non-stop until my Uncle quietly said: "If you don't shut up I'll put you in the Trunk." She was quiet for almost an hour after that! :-)
6:34 pm
MollyL

Yes Liz, there are plenty of adults like that too.
6:35 pm
lilliann

i bet you did nef, it's quite understandable as the adrenalin wears off
6:35 pm
Nef

bye stidg! Enjoy the rest of the day!
6:35 pm

6:35 pm
Lizlin

And some adults need to take responsibility for taking their kids out and showing them what's out there.
6:35 pm
MollyL

There are people whose only "outside time" is walking to and from their cars. : S
6:35 pm
Lizlin

Actually talking to the kids
6:36 pm
lilliann

bye gmere, enjoy your cake and the rest of the day.tc.hugs
6:37 pm
MollyL

Talking to their kids? Taking them out and sharing nature with them? That would be nice, but it seems like many parents are too self absorbed to bother.
6:38 pm
Nef

That is sad, isn't it Molly? I think that's something our grandson loves about coming here: he gets to go out and play in the yard and do "exploring" on his own. (The yard is fenced in and the dog is stuck to him like glue; the dog never leaves his side when Ronnie is here)
6:39 pm
lilliann

i try and go out with the bairn as much as i can, but even if i can't and i'm in bed, she'll lie next to me and read me her books which is good for her reading and she doesn't watch loads of tv or play on her wii very much.she does like to go on the computor and play games and alot of them are maths games which is probably why she is better at it than me....saying that, everyone is better than me at maths!
6:40 pm
Nef

One thing I try to do every day is ask our grandson "how was your day? What's the best part of today? What's the worst thing that happened today? I think actually thinking about how the day was and talking about it is so important to kids (I did that with my kids too)
6:40 pm
MollyL

Nef, there is no way to count the number of ways your grandson is lucky to have you in his life. You are a golden Gram.
6:40 pm
lilliann

i bet he has a great time exploring nef :)
6:42 pm
lilliann

i do that with my daughter aswell nef, sometimes i get 'it was alright' depending on her mood when she comes in from school but then later on she'll tell me
6:44 pm

Hi Liz
6:48 pm
Nef

today we went to a play ground and played on the swings and slides and the climbing wall; then we went down to the little lake and threw some stones into the water and watched the ripples and listened to the different sounds the rocks made as they hit the water. We also "worked in the garden" (he dug with his shovel and threw the dirt out; I ended up pushing it all back in.; we cut off the brambles for the raspberry bushes and I taught him about which sticks have thorns on them, etc.
6:48 pm
Lizlin

Sounds like a lovely day :)
6:49 pm

Actually, the truth is I love to see the world through the eyes of a child.

Oh, Molly! Did you ever try to start a fire with a magnifying glass as a child? (I think I'll wiat on teaching him that one!
7:01 pm

7:04 pm
rururocks

I think if I had a magnifier as a kid.. I'd have magnified something else :D
7:04 pm
lilliann

which is good as he'll learn from that and hopefully want to start cooking when he's older
7:04 pm

Ah, teaching kids to cook. Another art form that seems lost in the microwave/fast food world we live in.

he just watches at this point. we have him help me soon.
7:05 pm

he knows I eat a lot of salads

about the only cooking my grandson "helps" me with is banana bread and peanut butter balls in sesame seeds (a kids snack treat)
7:05 pm

he can set the table very well
7:05 pm
Lizlin

I remember rolling pastry from a very early age - and of course eating the uncooked dough from pastry and cakes!
7:06 pm
periwinkle

at this age they like to help
7:06 pm
MollyL

It doesn't matter. It's kids actually seeing adults cook. Hardly happens anymore.
7:06 pm
lilliann

i use to make playdo but not what you get in shops, out of flour and food coluring, it was cheaper than buying plastercene and we had so much fun with it
7:06 pm

I cooked at a very young age
7:06 pm

Too many precooked meals available today :(
7:07 pm

you want your kids to be self sufficient? (learn to cook and handy things like that) then send e'm to camp, or take 'em camping

I've learned that if you let the kids help; they learn how to do things. And if you let them know that their help is needed and you depend on it; that helps too (learned that a bit later with my own kids; but definitely am doing better this time with the grandson)

Lots of bad things happen at overnight camps. And, most kids are too young to be away from their parents that long when they get "sent".

Family camping is good fun. And "camp cooking" is fun too. But not practical when it comes to cooking everyday food.
7:14 pm

7:14 pm

we used to camp frequently with our kids. It was lots of fun. Our son now "camps out" with the grandson by putting up a tent in the living room at their apartment and they sleep there( his wife thinks Ronnie is too young to go camping for real even though I have shown her pictures of us camping when our kids were babies)
7:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i want to camp so often i don't know how many times, always with either girl scots or church group, starting from age 7, up to age 18, learned more at camp then anywhere else including school
7:16 pm
MollyL

He's 4, right Nef? I think camping is better for older kids than that.
7:16 pm
lilliann

that sounds cool nef.i bet your grandson enjoys it whether he's outside or not:)
7:17 pm
Nef

camping with the family is a lot of fun (and work!) with babies and toddlers and young kids Molly. It's very important to set limits; but it really is great.
7:18 pm
lilliann

my hubby used to put our tent out in the garden and sleep in it with the bairn and he took her camping a couple of times, plus she use to go and stop with her grandad in his touring caravan but it was stationary on one particular campsite all the time and she loved it.they were surrounded by the moors and a river where they'd take my f.i.l dog who's not with us anymore for long walks and he loved chasing stones in teh river
7:19 pm
MollyL

I would agree about a big family camp outing Nef. But not with just a Father/Son camp outing with a kid who is 4.
7:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, when i went camping with scouts at age 7 i might have been a bit young, but i can't say all 7yo would have problems
7:19 pm
Nef

We always used a tent and sleeping bags, the coleman stove and campfire and flashlights too. The fresh air and outdoors always made them fall asleep earlier and easier than at home
7:19 pm
smores

When my girls were 3 and 5 I test camped in my back yard...they loved it so we went for the real thing a few weeks later :)
7:20 pm
lilliann

my mam and dad use to take us to france every year , and mostly it was camping which was great if was hot but not when the weather was crap and we'd flood and then have armies of ants in the tents but we grew up doing that and wore rain coats most of the time but they are fond memories
7:20 pm

lot of work...but worth it

7:22 pm

LOL! Lilli, at one particular point in our camping days; we used to joke that our tent was causing the rain: put up the tent and the skys would open up and we had that river running through the tent (or so it seemed at the time!)
