Mary, I find your presentation to always be calming and comforting and the addition of Daniel delights me. A couple of times I actually laughed out loud. My mother would have called him a scallywag! See you next week!

Your mother would be spot on...he is a scallywag! That is an underused, but great word. I appreciate you watching and your kind comment.

I enjoyed the beautiful book review and antiques tour. I love my husband, but he became a grumpy old man at the age of 26. So, continue to appreciate Daniel's childish playfulness. ❤

Obviously Daniel is a hit! He reminds me so much of my Dad who is now gone. But he could find humor in any situation... and I mean any! I still think of things he said and will actually laugh out loud, all by myself. What a gift! You are so blessed that way you play off each other. But you can only be serious for so long , before he will have you laughing too! The shop was incredible... and so were some of the prices.
