I know what I have in my life and their comments I view a jealousy. I probably should say I feel sorry for them that their life is so sad and full of negativity but truthfully, I feel nothing for them. Again, I know what I have in my life and I am very happy. <br />Change of subject, isn't this weather great! Love it! And your photos are beautiful. I always enjoy reading about your life Jon and appreciate that you share your life with all of your devoted followers of your always enjoyable blog. <br /><br />You have a lot of friends Jon. Just last night I was thinking the only thing your missing (other than all those personal items that "got lost" during your move from Texas) was a new romantic interest in your life. And believe me Jon, that is in your future. Mark it down, it will happen.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-20138980577691956472016-03-09T20:05:40.979-06:002016-03-09T20:05:40.979-06:00I don't guess you have to lock doors up there....I don't guess you have to lock doors up there.

This afternoon I just sat outside for about an hour (with one of my cats), feeling at peace.<br />I've been meaning to change the doorknobs for a very long time and am only now finally getting around to it.<br /><br />I have seen Mike's comments on numerous other blogs and they were always kind and sensible. Something I said must have obviously rubbed him the wrong way. It was childish of me to over-react, but being sensitive to criticism is one of my trademarks - - especially when it's petty, unwarranted criticism. <br />Mike must still be around, because I received his comment only a few days ago.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-78687160535570157622016-03-09T14:49:03.869-06:002016-03-09T14:49:03.869-06:00Beautiful photos, Jon.

However, if I'm going to live in crazy old farm houses I guess I better get used to it. Sorry you had a rough exchange with Mike --in my experience, it's unlike him--that and him withdrawing his blog has got me worried.
