I was fortunate to find great places to work.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-24145267505051127102014-03-29T18:22:52.997+08:002014-03-29T18:22:52.997+08:00Thanks Rae.

People these days seem to have all sorts of beads around their necks. I got rid of some of that type of jewellery about 20 years ago. lolMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-77460622824844142092014-03-29T18:21:01.722+08:002014-03-29T18:21:01.722+08:00Swept along is hitting the nail on the head.

Come to think of it I think he was rather nice but I think that was the only kiss.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-1025428046090718772014-03-29T18:18:42.802+08:002014-03-29T18:18:42.802+08:00Thanks Buttons and glad you are enjoying this seri...Thanks Buttons and glad you are enjoying this series.
