They create a lot of dishes when you are done. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes my oldest gets into a cooking/baking mood. I don't mean to (it's more I want her to understand the consquences of it), but I stump her excitement about baking by telling her that she can do the dishes when she's done. (Well, most of the time I have to wash the dishes after I cook.) Double duty. <BR/><BR/>Hubby really doesn't like it much if I am reading or on the computer too long either. But he can sit and watch TV all day and I am not supposed to say anything. (eye-rolling here-double standard).Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743533586969447238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20757662.post-60308888896684128232007-08-09T16:16:00.000-05:002007-08-09T16:16:00.000-05:00Just stumbled upon your blog ... what caught my ey...Just stumbled upon your blog ... what caught my eye was "Brownville Junction" .... in the early '70's I was involved in Maine's Bureau of Retardation, as it was called then, in getting youngsters out of "Pineland" (which you most likely have never heard of) and into community group homes.<BR/><BR/>One was a lad from Brownville Junction who always spoke romantically of his home town and the "Little Red School House" he attended before being sent to Pineland.<BR/><BR/>These days I often think of these teen lads who were sent away from their home towns because they had developmental disability, and had reached male puberty.<BR/><BR/>Your "brownville Junction" stirred my thoughts of that lad and his love of his town.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
