Hello Jan … handy I suppose if your husband is hard of hearing. Enjoyed your verse Jan; it’s similar lyrics to a modern song; one line repeat, repeat, repeat, and keep repeating - Lindsay

- I agree with Line's comment ... men do not listen or "forgets" to answer ... that's why we say it several times ... :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

P.S. just read about your ‘day with mum’. Must be horrible for you. I guess ‘chin up’ doesn’t help much, but... chin up, Jan. Terry

Looked at your comment to Irene which gave me a deeper understanding of your "tongue in cheek humor." Have been through these painful experiences with family. There is a great depth to your words, Jan. Will keep you in prayer. This is not easy. Sending you BIG hugs from across the pond! Happy Anniversary.
