Ok, Blogland. Not all of Indiana. That's just a line from a song. And it kind of explains the picture, because this post probably won't. Have any of you ever had a friend who meddles constantly, I mean, makes numerous 'helpful' suggestions about your blog, or your career, or your choice of shoes? Like when I refer to the man fixing my computer as the computer fix-ey guy, my friend says "technician", in a uber-calm, all-knowing kind of way. Well I do. Or did. Now my friend has moved to some town in southern Indiana, and I really miss our playdates! BTW, my 15 year old son hates me to call them playdates; he's hanging out with his friends. But...four kids x an infinate number of playdates = one hard habit to break, am I right?
Indiana's in the midwest. My friend told me that. But I already knew! I learned to drive in central Illinois. In winter. Usually on ice. That was fun. I remember drinking marshmallow cokes (before Dr. Pepper became the house wine) at the drugstore (Owl Drug, I think) downtown. In fact, I have a lot of fond memories of that part of our country, but, (as the song) says...Lord, I can't go back there. (There was a lit-tle incident with a roll of toliet paper, and a statue of President Lincoln..I really can't talk about it) I'll just stay here, in the Pacific Northwest. For now anyway.

I'm a Minnesota girl originally. Lots of fond memories but too much snow.
