Barack Obama 2008!
…The cool things in life are free…
It doesn’t take much to float my boat.
I don’t need diamonds, jewelry, or extravagant gifts to make me happy. It’s the simple things in life that I really dig.
Especially in nature. To me there is nothing more beautiful than the tiny treasures you might find, left behind by Mother Nature herself. I’ve collected a few of these unexpected, very cool and very treasured “finds” throughout the years. They are all admired and thoughtfully displayed throughout my home, as I consider them all to be priceless.
…From Queen to Country Maiden.
OK, I’m not really a Queen..
..but I am FROM Queens….Queens, NY… a sister-borough to the ‘City That Never Sleeps’. I was raised there for the first 22 years of my life before moving to Berkshire County, MA where I currently reside.
Growing up in a borough’s suburb was both good and bad at the same time. Of course times were a little different then (this is back in the 70’s). With the infamous “Woodstock ” concert occurring just a few years back, this decade was still drizzled with “free-love”, “Peace” signs, “flower-power” ..and pot. Charles Manson was still in the news and “The Son of Sam” kept us kids from “parking” in our cars until he was caught in summer of 1977. The ‘block’ I lived on offered a diversity of people and cultures… and there were always plenty of teenagers to pal around with. On any given night, anywhere from 20 to 30 kids could be found on a quiet side street just off the entrance to the Grand Central Parkway, commonly referred to as “The Greens” because of it’s little patch of lawn. People in general, though, tended to keep to themselves, and familiarity, with the exception of a select few, was rare.
..I’ll take it personal..
Yes, I’ve admitted this before, I am very new to the blogging world. I’ve never even read a blog until recently. Maybe that’s apparent in my entries,…I don’t know. But I now find myself constantly aware of situations, conversations etc., wondering if it would be an interesting “blog subject” or not. Even though I tend to write about my interests, I still wonder if I should expand my horizons or simply play it safe. Should I be more general…technical…or keep it personal?
