One of the things most of us do is jump to conclusions...on the basis of what someone says or does, drawing our own quick interpretation of what that person meant or intended.

My Memory Home

My Memory Home

I'm back for a while in my home of memories. Around the house are pictures from the past. And on the wall on either side of the bedroom - which I can see lying in bed - are photographs from the past. Of my parents and my wife's parents. And our children at different ages, going to school or college. So every day here means returning to memories of times long gone.
