Working overtime
My due date was yesterday. Fortunately, after learning my lesson when I went late with Scotland, I have been mentally preparing myself to be late again.

The Heart of the Home- making the Christmas magic
“The heart of her, that beat against my own The love of her, out-breathed in every tone The eyes of her, that saw my smallest grief The feet of her, that flew to my relief The hands of her, that mind and body fed The voice of her, that soothed and comforted The ears of…
