It’s really fun floating aroud! Well, Twosday should actually read Gazillionday because I was first thinking about mama and papa, who are TWO, and then I started thinking about all of you who are such good friends, and that I wish to keep in touch, even from this mercurial state, whatever that is, and then I started thinking about how all of us are eventually in two states, whether we choose it or not, haha, … The post Twosday appeared first on livingwithloulou.com ..read more

Let’s hear it for TEACHERS! Well, this is a lovely, uplifting story. This dedicated woman is the kind of teacher all kids should have.

Are there any? Donc, are there just some things in life that tickle you pink?
