Welcome
I'm a seasoned soggy rain dancer sharing thoughts on living life and anything else that may drench me in the next shower!

Can I Come? Can I Huh?
Every time I’d see my Dad make his way to the back door I’d scramble after him trying to pull my little gumboots on as fast as I could while pleading “Can I come? Can I come? Can I huh? Can I huh? Dad?” Most times it ended with me sitting on the Continue Reading
