And I was thinking how full of life and energy and chit chat my kids had (two are away at school most of the year) and how I was enjoying it all and just being ... silent. Watching it all was so heart-filling and I smiled as I chopped (and mashed). <br /><br />Hope you have enjoyed this wonderful weekend.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-46433079434197653792011-11-25T03:09:56.868-05:002011-11-25T03:09:56.868-05:00Beige is the saddest word...and colour...♥ But you...Beige is the saddest word...and colour...♥ But your mash sounds great!
