I’m a little bit country…..

One of my favorite reruns when I was in grammar school was the sitcom:

“Please Don’t Eat the Daisies.” I loved the idea of a family living in a cramped Manhattan apartment deciding to drastically change the course of their lives by purchasing an old Farm House in the middle of nowhere. I adored the family sheep dog and how unnaturally kind everyone was to each other. The Mother was always coiffed and perfectly manicured, even though she had four very precocious boys to tend to. It was the Sixties version of “A Surreal Life”. Lately, I find myself fantasizing about that life nearly every waking day. I want a little house and backyard with a garden and a swing. My daughter keeps reminding me how scary it would be to go to sleep knowing that a police precinct could be miles away and the nearest Chinese take out could be in another town.
