Just read it to all the people in my kitchen, of which there happen to be a lot at the moment. Everyone loved it. The children and I got a hearty laugh out of staring as long as sheep or cows.

This post reminds me to be more mindful - which I think I am but not sufficiently...<br /><br />Jane Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420485615132391496noreply@blogger.com
