Kim Merryman September 16, 2016 at 12:55 PM Jean, a precious write about your daughters. So endearing. Congrats on your win! Blessings! Jean Murray September 16, 2016 at 3:08 PM Thank you Kim for giving me the opportunity of revealing my love for them.

Viv Wigley September 6, 2016 at 8:50 AM Hopefully, your 'empty nest syndrome' is eased by regular visits from them, Jean. Good luck in the contest, Viv x Jean Murray September 6, 2016 at 9:18 AM So far, so good Viv. I'm just back from Oslo, and far from an empty nest, two of them are back from Dublin already.
