Even in the midst of those circumstances, I found the scenery and people comforting. I hope it does for you too, in any unfortunate time (and even the good ones!).Kellie from Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336038070977514482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-91069554506444685782013-09-17T17:18:06.223-05:002013-09-17T17:18:06.223-05:00Not romantic, lol the laundry, the dark, the sleep...Not romantic, lol the laundry, the dark, the sleeping on floors. But I very much enjoy reading your stories of life. Where you are settling is so absolutely beautiful, I envy you! My heart lives in the mountains. Hubs and I were supposed to take the bike on a road trip this spring to that area, but they had record rainfall the whole time<br />we hope to do that road trip this spring.

You mention lightning bugs, but the mosquitoes balance it out. When you say your hands hurt from wringing out clothes, any romantic ideas fly right from my head. Even with your knee problem, you are in better shape than I and so much younger. I could never do what you are doing now. When I was younger, my allergies would demand ac at all costs if it were available anywhere.

Once anyone starts doing laundry by hand romantic notions will start to slip away, by the second week there is not much romance left for that part of the lifestyle.<br /><br />An electric powered wringer washer was a big help, money for the laundromat was a bigger help.<br /><br />Time is the real valuable thing.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-15114152926208130502013-09-17T10:47:04.848-05:002013-09-17T10:47:04.848-05:00I only use it for paid work when required.

I like your posts unaltered. They have a charm that comes from you telling your thoughts and experiences in your own words. Someone, beautiful as the prose may be when a computer edits it, it just isn't the same. Having said that, it's your blog and you have every right to do anything you want to with it.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
