My Cherub's Den

Of all the members of the family, it is only our eldest brother who smokes. My dad doesn’t smoke, as well as my other brother, and of course us women don’t. Still, it’s something he enjoys and he recently took up smoking cigars. I found that to be a bit of a coincidence due to something that our dad shared with us not too long ago.

One of dad’s golfing buddies started a cigar collection and dad was enthralled by the idea. Since it was soon to be his birthday at that time, we even considered buying him some so he could begin his own collection. We didn’t follow through on it, though I did do some research. That being so, maybe I can help my brother out in the pursuit of his new love. I think the first thing I’ll do is suggest he try some macanudo cigars for they come highly recommended by cigar aficionados. And who knows? Maybe he’ll do me a favor someday, like give me a million dollars when he wins the lottery. Oh well, it is a nice thought, but dream on girl.

I was busy doing my online tasks but I keep on glancing once in a while at my 7-year-old son who was playing at the other PC right beside me. He was playing his favorite war game at his favorite game site, y8. He’s really a big boy, now. It seems just like yesterday when I was still jumping through the hurdles of becoming a mom – carrying him for nine months and taking prenatal vitamins everyday to be sure of his, and my, good health.

Classes for the next school year start next month, already, and he will be in the second grade. WOW! Before I know it, he’ll be starting high school and will have a girlfriend or, most likely, girlfriends. LOL. Oh well, why I am thinking about that. It’s too soon to complicate my mind with those ideas. I guess I’m just being a typical mom, looking toward the time that I will have competition for his affection. Oh well; get over it, Mom; it’s gonna happen! (“,)
