Sounds like she's had a good musical career!<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the effort it takes. I sit in the stands at Mr. Attitude's T-ball games, thinking I should be joining in the conversation instead of just eavesdropping, making the effort to make connections. But so many people just seem so shallow, it hardly seems worth the effort. Not to write everyone off, that's just how it is for me.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1552377293018696862008-06-22T22:18:00.000-05:002008-06-22T22:18:00.000-05:00Ah, I noticed those clouds, too.

I'm ashamed that I feel it takes so much effort to make new friends, and it keeps me from trying, more often than not.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933224737404367088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-50076890941470309122008-06-22T20:35:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:35:00.000-05:00LauraH- I''m glad you had a good time in North Dak...LauraH- I''m glad you had a good time in North Dakota! The prairie birds would be great there. <BR/><BR/>Jayne- It was a huge effort. My thoughts were: "Excuse me, who are you?" Her thoughts were: "Deb, I'm so glad to hear from you! We were just thinking about you!" <BR/><BR/>Pablo- I'm glad you reconnected with someone. The Internet can be great that way.<BR/><BR/>Jan M- Although it was a thrown-together, freeway border community, I still miss the togetherness we had. I miss looking out my kitchen window and seeing Putz (my friend's husband) playing air banjo. Now that was cool!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-33621200347286501752008-06-22T18:38:00.000-05:002008-06-22T18:38:00.000-05:00We used to live in a close-knit community where ne...We used to live in a close-knit community where neighbor helped neighbor, and I really miss that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-71192847317223970022008-06-22T12:52:00.000-05:002008-06-22T12:52:00.000-05:00I just recently heard from a friend I had lost con...I just recently heard from a friend I had lost contact with more than 20 years ago.

Glad you were able to reconnect with someone who you found you missed a good bit. That's a good feeling.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-37927727057589330662008-06-22T01:05:00.000-05:002008-06-22T01:05:00.000-05:00Deb- I was in North Dakota a couple weeks ago (bir...Deb- I was in North Dakota a couple weeks ago (birding!) and so loved the late sunsets - the twilight lingered until after 10 pm. Such wonderful, long days.<BR/><BR/>I have a few friends I need to catch up with, too, and wonder why I don't make time for that more often. It always feels so nice when I do.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.com
