BUT — the home owners association [of which I am secretary] notes that the deed restrcitions won’t allow any type of clothes line, pole, or rack in your bakc yard. SIGH, deep sigh. I do hang some clothes in our garage – door closed so it does not offend.. oh but to have sheets dried by the sunny breezes of summer… that would be terrific. For those who don’t know about outside drying…. if there is not a wind/breeze your clothes dry stiff… but let the wind blow — better than any softner.

I know when I’m not feeling well, the last thing I want to do is make plans on going anywhere. And I’m talking about things like colds and headachess. Gerry’s ability to muster the energy to go places is amazing.

I wonder if the kids might be thinking they don’t want to suggest places that might wear him (and you) out too much ?? On the other hand, maybe what they want is a day of “doing nothing”. I think sometimes when a chance like this comes up, we think we’re wasting it if we don’t fill every minute with going somewhere, doing something.

Speaking of lifestyles and frugality, could you take some more photos of the of the house? I find it fascinating how homes in other places are set up, and that glimpse of the kitchen in an earlier post has me curious!
