The culture and friendliness of people in the 1970s. I wish I could go back to those days. Best time period of my life by far. All I would ask for is to keep the medical advances, the more dependable cars that are now being built, and cell phones.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Good morning!!!!


What’s the one thing you love most about where you live? The peace, quiet and natural surroundings



What’s your least favorite thing about where you live? How steep it is.



Do you go to yard, garage or any other sales that are held by your neighbors
or an organization? Absolutely...I love garage and yard sales.


If you do, have you ever seen an item that you felt was interesting or odd? Hmm!!! well my mother always told me she got me at a yard sale. I said lucky you....what a deal, lol


Have you ever bought an item that turned out to be worth a lot more than what
you paid for it? Not a lot more but always at least a little more. I "always" get a deal I don't ever buy anything that would be expensive to start with...just books, sometimes clothes, and sometimes household stuff.

What’s do you miss about days gone by? Morals

Isn't that the truth....let's start with Greenspan and then send Bernanke. Pitiful rates for people who save.




Have a great day!!!
