I was i...Thanks, Jan and Carole, for your comments! I was in downtown Manhattan this morning and I couldn't believe the noise, the cars, the people all rushing everywhere. People were rudely cutting one another off and I wondered what it would do to a person if everyday of their life they had to contend with that noise and congestion. You'd either become numb to it (and other more subtle stimuli) or you'd be so wound up you'd be ready to spring apart! Now, three hours later, I'm staring out my window at the forest in my backyard...and I'm very thankful for the quiet. I wish everyone a nice, quiet, relaxing weekend!Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959902948863719059.post-64487458157731223272011-07-15T02:07:10.377-07:002011-07-15T02:07:10.377-07:00I am with you too, Deb.

I'm so concerned about my teen granddaughters. And watching the 11:00 news every night is enough to keep us all awake.<br />Taking a trip to Lehman's is a bright spot. Love their rooms and rooms of goodies! I don't think we'll go back to those times, but we can dream, and I also tell the girls what it was like (granny telling stories, oh my).CaroleP (ohionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959902948863719059.post-51629632632298356902011-07-14T09:06:39.634-07:002011-07-14T09:06:39.634-07:00I'm with YOU Deb!

When they were little, I had to be with them all the time. I could never allow them to play outside without supervision when they were little. And money? I have a good friend who, when I took him out to celebrate his 40th birthday, was terribly depressed because he hadn't made his first million yet. Really! <br /> <br />On the other hand, I do live in an old farmhouse with no dishwasher or central air. Maybe a few antiques would help me feel as if I'm living in an older era?<br /> <br />It must be that Ohio isn't a state that recycles bottles huh? I still take all my bottles back to the store for a dime. <br /> <br />Great post.<br /> <br />Jan D.Jan Darlingnoreply@blogger.com
