I have had times when my grandchildren could not read my handwriting, not because it was messy but because it was in cursive. They tell me that the good old Palmer Method of teaching cursive is coming back, and I am eager for that to happen.<br /><br />It's tough being an English major with an Art minor.

You highlighted the "should have" so that's one of my pet frustrations. Just recently the word is "acrost" or is it "acrossed" - I keep talking to the screen going "across - it's ACROSS!" LOL! Although my husband ends thing with a "k" - somethink, everythink etc. Despair!!! I used to repeat the word the moment he uttered it, but now I say "what do some think then?" I'm scuppered for the others - ideas in my direction welcome! So resort to the correcting. This has gone on for 35 years now and I haven't had any success! Maybe that'll be one of my bucket list entries! LOL!

A long time ago she gave me a bag with my uncle(her father) shirts. So I decided to make similar quilt. My uncle loved his garden, she spents a lot of time on it now. I hope that quilt bring my uncle back to his garden and Alenka will have a rest with my quilt in the middle of the garden which her father cultivated.<br />I saw Jo Jo Rabbit trailer last month and I know I will not see it in cinema. The theme is not funny. There was an anniversary of Osvetim - Treblinka death camp, I listened to the survivers, feel sad. I do not feel like seeing such film.<br />Sorry for such a long comment, I hope I did not make a lot of mistakes. If so, excuse me….
