Mother-In-Law

Smile, use charm and hope to extinguish the fire of mum-in-law dragons. I've never met mine, but Mother-in-Laws are traditionally thought of as dragons over here (all in good fun, I think). Jack Horne

Lovely Jack! My ex-Mother-in-Law was like a mom to me and she loved me so did I. She was my first and probably also my last Mom-in-Law.

How funny that you refer to mother-in-laws as dragons, Jack. A sweet approach to dealing with one might work most of the time. Hope so, anyway. My mother-in-law was very sweet. Love, Carolyn

this brought a smile, enjoyed it, most Mother-in - laws over here are the same. but i had a great one my first marriage and my second one, my daughter does also, and i think my wife is a good one. but they are for and few between. thank you for Commenting on Grinnell Remembered and yes it was a great place to live.
