May you have the opportunity as desired to experience 'the other side of the coin', having been already charmed with the enjoyment and contentment of country living.<BR/><BR/>Having lived in the city all my life, I'm blessed to be able to access your blog to experience glimpes of your prairie life. In the mid 70s till early 80s, the TV series of 'Little House on the Prairie' by Laura Ingalls Wilder were my favourite!!Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369753949119294432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-1142796506667323952006-03-19T13:28:00.000-06:002006-03-19T13:28:00.000-06:00In July, Nyssa and I are going to apartment sit (a...In July, Nyssa and I are going to apartment sit (and cat sit) in Brooklyn. Friends of my brother will be going to see him in Germany and as I always did in Mississippi, feel better having someone stay in their home. <BR/><BR/>They wouldn't live anywhere else. Don't even own a car. The subway hub is a block from their apartment and takes them anywhere they need to go. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't want to live there and probably wouldn't do well for a long period of time out in the country at my dad's homestead either. In between is the best place for me with adventures into both extremes.<BR/><BR/>While I've seen Phantom ten times (because my brother was in the traveling company for 8 years), I've never seen it on Broadway. I look forward to the botanical gardens and the art museums on this next trip.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-1142738743825232222006-03-18T21:25:00.000-06:002006-03-18T21:25:00.000-06:00I wouldn't want to live in NYC by any means.

I'd love to see the sights, hear the music, experience the rush...but I'd choose my own way of life here on the prairies, where life is slower, yet for me, more real. I think it's what you're used to and where your heart finds rest. For me I think that place will always be where I can hear the birds singing...and myself think. And watch the sun set completely upon the horizon.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334129707341089450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-1142685028875178322006-03-18T06:30:00.000-06:002006-03-18T06:30:00.000-06:00Oooooh!

We'd all understand each other better. But really? I've lived both ways and I think country folks are much more in touch with our past--the things that make our country great. Just my opinion.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600646161985648267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-1142627130335532062006-03-17T14:25:00.000-06:002006-03-17T14:25:00.000-06:00I think you'll have a great time in NYC but it wi...I think you'll have a great time in NYC but it will also give you a new appreciation for your own piece of heaven.

In a couple of years, I MAY get the opportunity to travel there also, as a sponsor with another NHS group.
