A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself over the edge.
The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man then saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other.
How sweet it tasted.

- Well I'm a thirty-ISH yr (on the down side of the 30's) old teacher, transplanted okie/californian, a wanna-be writer, a mommy to 4 high energy kiddo's (one step-son who is grown and my 16 year old son who decided to live with his Dad in Oklahoma this year-this breaks my heart-but I know he needs this and I want him to be happy) a 12 year old who is just like me (loves to read, travel, explore and learn - also likes to cook like his dad) and a 6 year old daughter who is VERY precocious, intelligent, and QUITE a handful. And finally, last but not least -wife to a guy who has decided he wanted to go back to his "new-england" roots-so here we are...., But I'm also just "me" "bran", ~ see my xtra long rant about "mom next door" Its my best blog.
