I learn best by buying books and trying things. I'm a problem solver at heart. Thanks for coming by. :) Diane,

It was like giving up a baby to me... And reall get focused on a specific goal I had with art . And then evryone was sick..or and I just kept learning just not what I intended to be focusing on...Though I manage to take a couple of classes here and there.

Life is full of surprises...as I said above, it sounds as if you handled it just fine. It stands to reason, then, that you would have expected to be a queen, too.

Mother treated him like a King though. My father was hard working and quiet like my husband. I think of my hubby as a King, but I don't always treat him like one. :( Times have changed.

I haven't watched Kung Fu Panda---I see my movies via Netflix. I've now added KFP to my list...presumably they'll tell me when it's released. I'm always grateful for suggestions. :) Thanks. bikehikebabe, I imagine it was a big surprise. But you clearly handled it just fine! What were your father and your mother like? was she Queen of the Castle? Evelyn,

When I got married I thought I'd be "Queen of the Castle" & my husband would entertain me. I found I had to entertain myself. It was a shock. But I had 4 kids & got interested in a lot of things. It all worked out. Yes, I was surprised. When I got married I thought I’d be “Queen of the Castle” & my husband would entertain me. I found I had to entertain myself. It was a shock.

In the show, the panda was motivated to practise martial arts, because of his "greed" for food. Great site you have here! It is my first visit here. Love the pictures that you have put up!
