I suppose that’s a good thing, but I notice the price of gas around here has gone up to more than $4.35! Yikes!!!<BR/><BR/><B>Tina</B> – I’m glad to ‘bring back memories’ and appreciate your comments here. Thanks … I am having a great (if a bit too busy) week. Once the French Open ends, perhaps I’ll have more time to catch up on blog visits. I did stop by your blog this morning and enjoyed all your photos. Thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/><B>Sandy</B> – Thanks. The ‘blues’ passed fairly quickly because the tennis has been EXCITING (except for the disappointing effort of Kuznetsova in her match with Safina yesterday. I’m looking forward to the men’s semi-final matches today. They start in about 3 hours ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Sorry it’s taken me a couple of days to find</B> your comments and respond. All’s well with me, but my ‘to-do’ list is growing longer rather than shorter each day … and I’m having to cut back on ‘blog visiting’ just to keep my head above water (so to speak), but once the French Open ends … perhaps I’ll be able to catch up. My Google Reader count has been 1000+ for so long, I suspect there may be 2000 or more unread messages by now … and my unread email count is at 336 as I type this. YIKES!!!<BR/><BR/>I wish for each of you a peace-filled day, everyday ;--)<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-40077092825458838652008-06-04T14:07:00.000-07:002008-06-04T14:07:00.000-07:00Sorry you were feeling a bit blue :( Loved your 10...Sorry you were feeling a bit blue :( <BR/>Loved your 10 on Tuesday list. <BR/>It's amazing how much gas and minimum wage has changed.

Since it’s closing in on 7pm here and I’m hungry, methinks I’ll leave a group comment (in lieu of the individual ones I usually leave) because tomorrow is another BUSY DAY for me. <BR/><BR/>Hope you’re all having a wonderful week. I enjoyed seeing what everyone did with the ROYAL theme and the CHANGES in our world. Seems like there was lots of variety as is often the case. I’m about to turn off the computer because last night I was working until almost 11pm and that’s just too late for one who arises as early as I do.<BR/><BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-77486904531016875382008-06-03T17:28:00.000-07:002008-06-03T17:28:00.000-07:00I was born in 1962!I played too :)I was born in 1962!<BR/><BR/>I played too :)Teena in Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875608173791872449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-54488935630586232262008-06-03T16:44:00.000-07:002008-06-03T16:44:00.000-07:00I love the color blue and all the shades/hues of b...I love the color blue and all the shades/hues of blue :)<BR/><BR/>I miss watching Walter Cronkite and Johnny Carson.ShannonWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592896126190427893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-65447389568994063242008-06-03T16:38:00.000-07:002008-06-03T16:38:00.000-07:00You did a great job with your 10 on Tuesday list! ...You did a great job with your 10 on Tuesday list!

I started work in 1965 and made 65 cents and hour. When I was laid off the next year I found a job that paid $1.19 per hour and thought I was rich. <BR/><BR/>1962 was quite a year. That is the year Marilyn Monroe died. The NY Yankees won the World Series and James H. Meredith, escorted by federal marshals, registers at University of Mississippi.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed my visit, as always. Drop by sometime when you have a few minutes. I miss hearing from you.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-49825378173884164542008-06-03T05:50:00.000-07:002008-06-03T05:50:00.000-07:00What a great comparison on Tuesday Ten.

You can change the system but cannot change the people who grew up in it. So in late 90's I left for US hoping for better life...
