I'm a person who was raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Ohio is a pleasant place to reside, for you

have 4 seasons. Spring, snow has melted, slushy streets are dry, wash your windows, put the

storm windows up and pull down the screens, finally get to wash your car and it stays clean

for longer than a day. Summer, swimming in outdoor pool. Plant the vegetable garden and

erect the 6 foot fence to keep out the rabbits, deer, and any other critter that thinks the garden

was planted for them. HA! It's so nice to be outside in fresh air, no heavy coats to wear, no more

having to shovel the snow off the 50ft driveway so my dad can get in and out of the driveway. Also,

so the Heating Oil truck can make a delivery. Standing out in the cold at the end of the driveway

waiting for the school bus. The birds are arriving, robins pecking at the ground finding a worm, making

nests in the trees. Memories....... We did not have A/C, got hot you went down in the

basement. They didn't build houses with A/C. Fall, is one of those seasons that is beautiful, very

colorful, different shades of reds, yellows, oranges, browns, greens. But, the trees lost their beauty

the closer we came to winter. Winter season is how you look at it and make of it. When you’re a kid

LOVE winter. Sledding on the back yard incline. Ice skating at the neighbors back yard pond. First

you had to shovel the snow off. memories....You go play with your friends, bundled up, and stay

outside for hours, nose is rosy, mittens are wet figures cant' feel them any longer. Now time to

come in, take all the wet cloths off. Put clean dry.... clothes on. Sit in front of the fire and good old

mom makes hot coco with marshmallows for us all. memories....

That was the first 12 years of my life living in the country, with 2 older sisters and one older brother.

Yes, I'm the baby of the family. memories......

The big move to the city! From a big house, 4 bedrooms, 2 bath rooms, living & dinning rooms,

eat in kitchen, huge basement finished on 3 acres of land. To a town house, 3 stories. walk in

the back ground level is a basement finished. Second floor was Kitchen, Dinning & Living rooms.

Third floor, three bedrooms and 1 bathroom. ugh!

I started this post on Jan. 13 my fathers birthday. Today is Feb 3rd watching the weather channel where

the big snow storm, blizzard, hit most of the country. Atlanta is having a windy day but is to going to

reach the 50's.

For awhile I was unable to get on the site so I started writing this in Word program. I will copy & paste

this in and will continue doing my blog this way, for I hate when I start my post and hit the wrong key

and loose the post. Till another post bye all.
