Good Monday morning Tulis – I always love listening to your Monday Musings, but I must tell you this was the best ever, stopping me in my busy beginning of a new week tracks.
Wishing you all the very best Tulis, especially during this month of April where the weather is making fools of us all who haven’t paid enough attention to can enough to bare our souls on and off the stage and in the arena of life belongs to those who seize it for and with others.

Thanks so much. I am so pleased that it touched you.

Thank you, my friend. Lots of memories we shared didn’t we?

Wow, that’s good to hear. I never know what my writing sounds like to other people.
Thanks Tulis, that was lovely. My mother was an April Fool too – very special people. X

A great man. A great dad. A great April Fool.
