Oh, no wonder you miss your house in Maine, it must have been a difficult transition to living with neighbours close by. We live out of the city in the hills area of Perth. It certainly has become busier with more people wanting this lifestyle but compared to the suburbs where people live cheek by jowl we’re almost isolated on our half acre. We are in walking distance though of the supermarket, the library and the pub, so we have all bases covered.
Our neighbors are friendly but have young twin daughters who scream and argue all the time followed by the mother screaming at them to be quiet. The husband does offer to help my husband when he's doing stuff outside which is very nice.
I miss my old house in Maine, no neighbors for 100 acres behind the house, a mile to the left and a half mile to the right and in front of the house was the road that had almost no traffic. One the other side of the road that the house faces it was over six miles of thick pine trees. It was very isolated and so peaceful.
We had Dick and Jane, BORING! I hated reading them. I was so lucky my grandparents bought us Dr. Suess books and read them to us. They encouraged us to read the classics as well but Dr. Suess was always a family favorite. I read them to my children and my grandchildren. I still have the copies my grandparents bought and will be passing them onto my great-grandchildren someday.
When my kids went to school, I did the gym thing until my job kept getting in the way and it fell to the wayside. Now, I go a couple times a week, just to keep myself limber. I've talked about going to a pool, and I really think I need to get it done and stop talking about it.
I'm terrified of heights, there's no way Everest would be on my radar either.

Day 2561 May 24th, 2025
On this day in 1964 The Beatles' made their 4th appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show", which featured an interview and a pre-recorded performance of "You Can't Do That". Did you ever watch The Ed Sullivan Show? What's your favorite Beatles song? If not, the Beatles what was your favorite performance?
The Beatles were a massive part of my life in England when I was in my teens and around the time I married in 1965. We used to long for their next single, and loved every song of theirs. Paul was my favourite singer, and still is! I think I’ve had a crush on him all my life. We were devastated when John was murdered in New York and the world lost a wonderful musician and philosopher. I never got to see them play live but followed their every move. When they went overseas we watched the reactions of fans everywhere. They really were a phenomenon.
Those who weren’t Beatle fans usually followed the Rolling Stones.
