I wonder how come Father watching His Shows all the time We watch Our programs only when Kids are sleeping in the Morning We let Kids always watch their programs  They have to stay Home at Our Place Kids not doing  anything Watching TV and on Computer We don't yell at them it is their age not their fault Pl. give TV access to Niklas Throw away the broken Sofa He doesn't have to sit on that Our Old age is very tricky We are retired so have lots of time We have to keep ourselves busy if we wont Our Mind get stray Start thinking will take us to Our Past so easy to go there Keep in Mind what is written there is like a Print We can not change We have to cross out those pages of our Life the only way to do that We have to skip that portion just like out of course Material  You know the most heart pinching material for Me to think about that I was not been able to give enough time enough Love to My Mom and to My D...

Congratulations  My Dear Literature Fellow and Your colleagues for High Marks in the Project I am Happy for You people My Dear Friend  doing 2 Jobs if someone asking about My Blog please let them know When I look back I think all of My Blogs about Joint Family Living and also about Retirement Period were because of one person only That is My Dear Kris Father I am writing My Blogs for quite a while and feel fortunate that people share their problems They have trust that the situation will be dissolved and every time it happened But Kris Father is a very tough character I think when we are determined not to listen not to budge in nothing can be done I think such cases are due to the inside loneliness or may be due to a difficult childhood period Like a Scar people carry throughout their Life I have written Blogs after Blogs just around Him but nothing happened Then I regret one of My Blog about Nutrition for My Ret...
