A Good Christmas Morning to All
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Me: Beaumont, stop sticking your tongue out. Beau: I'm not sticking it out. It's hangin' out. Me: Then stop hanging it out. Beau: When you stop bringing me the park at the top of the hill instead of the river when it's 33Celsius, I'll stop hangin' my tongue out. Me: I brought your water bottle.... Continue Reading →
Gratitude is a warm blanket
Me: Beaumont. Would you please look at the camera? Beau: Really Louise? You haven't looked after my fans and now you want me to do something for you? I don't think so. Me: Would it help if I told you the photo is for your fans? Beau: That's what you said last Sunday Louise. In... Continue Reading →

My Heart is Breaking

I understand how taking a beloved family pet cannot always be possible, but my heart... Continue Reading →
