You say “we talked about what it feels like when we go fifty miles away from home, how we hate leaving our little village.” So different from me – as soon as I get home I try to figure ways so that we can go away again, and the farthest away the better!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-38661522622968858282013-02-01T16:43:40.416-08:002013-02-01T16:43:40.416-08:00You certainly prompted me to think long and hard a...You certainly prompted me to think long and hard about my 'this old lady waiting' rules.

(this is her favorite thing to do with me over anything:) but midnight was late enough, wasn't it? i think so, especially in that i can hardly wake her during the week for school. it makes good good sense to stay on a routine. but i found myself awake, sleepless, reading and writing in the kitchen at 1, 2 and then 3 a.m., something which never happens, and i was giggling like a twelve year old girl for being alive and outside the rules! <br /><br />do me a favor? don't tell my daughter.<br /><br />xo<br />erinerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636371927224076866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-24932869304812187932013-02-01T13:42:58.554-08:002013-02-01T13:42:58.554-08:00Oh, Rosaria, you do so know how to 'hit the na...Oh, Rosaria, you do so know how to 'hit the nail on the head'!The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-46861176780915514522013-02-01T12:35:22.080-08:002013-02-01T12:35:22.080-08:00smiles...not bad rules for life...we all have our ...smiles...not bad rules for life...we all have our peculiarities...espresso...mmm...usually just black coffee for me but i would not kick an espresso off the table...smiles...and yes it can be refreshing to not follow the rules on occassion as well...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-75849915443243890232013-02-01T11:12:51.709-08:002013-02-01T11:12:51.709-08:00Ahhh!

The ladies are not in the mood to read depressing stories, albeit one extremely well written as this one. So, I changed the title just so and gave you a preview of the book, if I were to write such a book!Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.com
