rainmaker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L203suzzRA I did a post a couple of days ago about how much I didn’t like delivering the mail when it was pouring down rain. That was before I “met a man who had no feet..” Actually, I’m being silly … Continue reading

The Secret Australian Veterinarian

My father wasn’t a man who talked about “things he wished he’d done” very often. I’m sure that he had dreams and a vision for his future that might have been different from the life he ended up living. That … Continue reading
