I grew up in living in one apartment aft...Hey Lisa,<br />I grew up in living in one apartment after another- my parents refused to buy a house or even rent one (they moved out of state and bought a house after I graduated from high school though.) So living in housing reminds me my apartment living days. Even though we share an itty bitty yard out front- its not too bad. The complex I live in is older than dirt and the walls are extremely thick- I hardly hear a peep out of the neighbors, on either side. <br />I have asked for help from the husbands left behind here a few times- they are definitely used to it! I still hate to do it. I am too indpendent for my own good I think.<br />I am totally im love with the Kokeshi dolls myself. I have bought two for myself- one for my daughter and one for Hubby. I plan on having a large collection by the time we leave... ;)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664726634719648643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425578632953629797.post-59396528775133084342010-01-04T01:30:03.228+09:002010-01-04T01:30:03.228+09:00This post was too funny and memory provoking for m...This post was too funny and memory provoking for me. I remember sharing little pieces of yard with neighbors and really just not knowing wtf to do .........I don't miss the common walls, especially bedrooms. I don't miss the running up and down stairs at all times and the loud stereo bass.I do miss the sense of family of the military though. No one thought anything of asking anyones spouse for help if a spouse was deployed. I love the dolls you bought for family back stateside. I wish I had appreciated all the unique little things when I was over there. Unfortunately, all I brought back was a doll for my mother. BTW I love your Christmas decorations. You must have really worked long and hard :)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798362787010848344noreply@blogger.com
