Also clever addition of the Friday 13th motif. Donna and I are a bit slow. Should have had a whole Friday 13 thingy.<br /><br />This is a sad but true story. Roles reversed or not, it is the lot of many a man/woman to be anxiously waiting on a recalcitrant partner to return to family. You added such interest with the manicure, pedicure, facial...those little details make a story. I agree, you should write more flash if you get the time. :DDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504800520107358646.post-6207543059415992452012-07-15T04:07:48.138+01:002012-07-15T04:07:48.138+01:00Dear Kiru,
