Perhaps in those youthful, pre-children ages it's easier to keep all your stories properly sorted out in your head :) Sounds far too tiring now.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-90588077398315351992012-10-31T15:30:19.903+11:002012-10-31T15:30:19.903+11:00Hi Paula, you're so right.

Best not to go down the path of stretching the truth ... too hard to keep our stories straight, especially now I'm getting older and the ol' grey matter isn't as sharp as it used to be!Footprints Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623190578935913157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-61859639071096035322012-10-31T11:38:07.604+11:002012-10-31T11:38:07.604+11:00Hi Lyn and Penelope,
