Charming memories! The difference between growing up in Santa Cruz and growing up in Phoenix: your parents were yelling about letting the “giraffe” in, and my parents were always yelling about letting the “giraffe” (air conditioning) out!

Thank you for sharing your writing; I look forward to it each Sunday!

Definitely. We all have very interesting coping mechanisms some of them very creative, some are to save money. Some don’t work at all in some marvelous and none of them guarantee that we will sleep all night after the kids are gone because we are aware that they might wake up even 40 years later and we’ll have to do something!
