Talked to the grandmother the other night and she retold this: While they were watching the kids at the pool one day #1 played with several other children. He had a good time diving after money that another boy's father was throwing in to them. There was also a girl playing with them at times. When it was time to go, #1 got out and dried off. Then the girl came running up to him and asked something. #1 replied, "No, I'm leaving now." #2 asked #1, "What's her name?" "I don't know." "Do you like her?" #2 continued. "You've been reading too much Calvin and Hobbes!" #1 responded. And there is a comic of Hobbes pestering Calvin about a girl. _____________________ I opened up more windows last night and put in the screens. I still have to take out storm windows and put in screens- hopefully that will change soon. Anyway, it is nice and cool in here and there is a nice breeze coming in the front room here while I type. People built houses so much better years ago than they do now. This one is placed so the sun stays out of the kitchen and the front porch shades a lot of the front of the house. The plaster and brick keep it cool so much longer than other materials would. We haven't used the ac yet, in NC! Perhaps a lot of the energy crisis could be helped if houses were built like they used to be!
