| Introduction | I've been reading for almost half a century. that will give away my age, i guess. I have always been in love with libraries. It's like Christmas every day. My first love is the theatre, but i hate reading plays. I need color and descriptions. I like to see plays, read novels. I also love old movies. If it has been on Turner Classic Movies, I've seen it at least six times. I live in a one hundred-year-old house that I love, but that constantly needs some kind of repair, but it has a wrap-around porch with rockers and a swing and ferns. One of my cats claims a rocking chair, the other the swing and i sit on the other rocker and we watch the world go by. The middle school is down the street. We can hear the bells ring when classes let out, and we can watch the kids walking to and from school. The partly-volunteer fire department and the police department are two blocks down the street, so we do get some noisy traffic sometimes. I always wish I knew where they were going. I need to get a police scanner. |
