Home & All That Jazz...
Memories :)
🏡 Home is...
The carefree days of my youth…
A time period full of adventure...
A timeframe with limited responsibilities & NO chronic pain...
A timeframe when Big Momma, the Beautiful and Strong woman that raised me, was still alive and well…
🏡 Home to me…
is comfort…
And all of the fun…
that I used to have…
before headaches, responsibilities, and bills entered the picture… 😝
Fortunately… This is not a somber story…😁
