I still have things stored in the machine shed at the farm. Books and photos, especially...if they aren't damaged by now. Have I moved on? Mostly, but things from 'past lives' still manage to intrude at the oddest moments. It DOES get better though. MUCH better. :)Rox Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793875617929387443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586597368187289360.post-71103019541807081542013-06-10T20:38:11.036-05:002013-06-10T20:38:11.036-05:00Kisa, So glad you could relate to it.

I'm a cat person, although I do like dogs, mostly large breed, so having a Pekingese is a big odd.
