Housekeeping FAIL

So, the vacation has been marked by some standard chaos when you have a bunch of people in a smallish house.  My mother in law has created more than her fair share.  Although an excellent cook, she has some serious problems using any piece of electronic equipment or appliance – this includes the oven, the dishwasher, [...]

At Least I don’t Have a Family Truckster

Probably [...]

Highs and Lows
