Over the years we have morphed from guarding our young children close by us to nodding as they mooch off. The teenagers tend to congregate on the beach & one year I realised that Joe was down there too so I rang Jess & she told me, " it's OK Joe's with me " <br />Husband & I walked home & I realised that at some point my daughter had become the parent !BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-15275866617554865252012-06-18T04:04:34.013+00:002012-06-18T04:04:34.013+00:00Haven't heard the term 'muggins' since...Haven't heard the term 'muggins' since my mother used it on me lo those many years ago.

Phoebe is pretty much indoor only these days, and Grace usually was content to come inside at night, but every so often both she and Jo would refuse to come in.<br /><br />I noticed that when the bear came to visit, it was a GORGEOUS day, but Jo stayed in until just after 4 pm. I'm guessing the bear spooked her a bit. She's put up no fuss with coming in around 9 pm.<br /><br />Glad to hear Bunty is on her way.<br /><br />meganmegan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-59105586368029013472012-06-17T23:39:25.175+00:002012-06-17T23:39:25.175+00:00Who knew that poultry could become ones proxy chil...Who knew that poultry could become ones proxy children?
