Hey Tanya, love reading all the comments and your post.
What did my dad teach me?
Not to practice bagpipes inside the house ( not that I play them!!)
How to check the pressure in car tyres.
How to look after and clean the ride on mower and last but not least
How to clean my school shoes good and proper.............
Having a lovely hol, we're in Hobart at the moment. Can't send emails but will call over the weekend to see if we can manage a catchup next Tuesday. We leave Tassie next Wednesday.
Caught the ferry over to the Mona today, oooooeeeeeee.............
When I was about 12, dad was horrified at how I 'mumbled' when an adult asked me how I was. he taught me to say, 'I'm very well thank you...and how are you?' He also patiently taught me in Grade 2 how to spell our family name 'Barbagallo' which I found a challenge to spell then! lol
