Welcome to a red-head's head. In a world that thrives on the superficial and artificial, can you handle some real? Life can throw you a curveball when you're least expecting it, and maybe, just maybe, some days you're glad you made it through. On days like that it feels good to come home to a hot meal, curl up with a cup of tea... perhaps even a good book... hint, hint... As for the stories here - all of which are true, incidentally, some come direct from me, a few from friends, some from my mother, and some, apparently, are "culled from cousin's anecdotes." My mother has such a quaint turn of phrase. We all have a story. I'm just brave enough to tell it.
