Thanks cookie . Yes she is special.
I have to say Amy that my DS was brought up to cook , clean and do for himself and he did very well at it and still does but somehow he has a modicum of chauvinism which shows up from time to time. Luckily my DIL is quick smart to quell that particular failure. Thankfully she does not blame me and puts it down to one of those man things. When he shows these traits we all just laugh AT him. Poor bugger has no males in the family to,back him up.
He is a gifted intuitive teacher and will be sadly missed in his small school. I hope he does not abandon teaching altogether. There are not nearly enough male teachers in the system.
