You never see people say at the market, bank whatever WITHOUT a cell phone attached to their ear...grumble

You never see people looking words up in the dictionary, EVERYTHING is via computer now...(ok,so I'm guilty of this)blushing

You never see X-mas carolers (spell check, this is where I need that dictionary)...indifferent

Oh I miss caroling, our church use to do it for our shut-ins but I don't know if they still do it... I have been in Wyoming the past three Christmases and this year well my family sort of had our own shut infrown


I remember as a kid I would go caroling with some of my friends..It was sooo much fun...ahhh..the memories of it all..oh well..times have changed..:cry:

you can go to Jackson Wyoming and they still have caroling on the town square...I think its still around in small towns....not all of course, but I believe its there. I went out to Wyoming five days before Christmas my first year out there. I was missing my family a lot, but then I saw the caroling and it meant sooo much to me...It made me have a special spot in my heart for Jackson and its people. :heart:
but hence family is important and I stay in Ohioflowerforyou

hmmm...you barely see a coffee house withOUT wireless...though, sorry guys....I LOVE this (but sadly we even have it in the coffee house at Cedar Point...its an amusement park for those that don't know...I mean seriously folks...your supposed to be to have fun...I guess I can understand the computers for access...though stil...)

No you can't find them......Ive looked when my son was having trouble learning to read.....they are no longer in print. They were great books to learn to read for me and my generation.....I did find some similar books though with bigger print.

I found a few of 'em here and there over the years. I even have a Catholic school version with Sister Mary Francis as the teacher instead of Mrs. Whatever-it-Was.
