I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)

A picture really is worth a thousand words.
You know this of course, but here we call today “Veterans Day” (or as it used to be known – Armistice Day) honoring all veterans still living. On May 30th, we have Memorial Day (or as it used to be called – Decoration Day) honoring all those who have fallen in the line of duty. In any case, remembering is the important part!

I have been to Normandy War Cemeteries – far too many – and today our men and women die in other countries wars. When will we ever learn …
Your little video says it all.

We call it ANZAC Day in New Zealand (25th April) , and Dodenherdenking in the Netherlands (4th May) and as a family we observe both.
Never forget to pay your respects… R.I.P. one and all.
