I have always heard that the best thing that you can do for your child is to raise them in such a way that they are prepared to fly away from the nest and be independent adults. <br />Thank you for the comment you left about my red-neck-hot-tub. Your so sweet. It's a backyard that would not appeal to a lot of folks but it fits us to a tea, LOL.<br />Have a great weekend, Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848908867135912792.post-58841546279681423012013-05-16T10:24:48.270-05:002013-05-16T10:24:48.270-05:00Oh I do love this and that birdcage is such a grea...Oh I do love this and that birdcage is such a great embellishment!
