Julie Marshall:  

husband who waits on me hand and foot and children that come if I call. My basic needs are all taken care of and all I need to do is relax and read and learn to tollerate some TV shows my hubby likes. I am happy for others that portray a lovely life in these stories. Some are fantastic in my opinion. Mine is not of that ilk, but I have a great deal of love and respect from my family and that to me is all I ever wanted or needed. It's a very narrow sort of life, but it's all good as my grandchildren say. My main concern in life is the morals of our youth today. I am amazed at the intelligence of my familys elementry grade students. The world has gotten to be so detatched. Familys are not what they used to be. They don't even have sit down dinners every night like I use to at home. I can't believe the lack of good family foundations and wonder why it's turning out that way. It just seems something could be done, but the youngsters don't want to hear it, can't do better or what excuse they make for not creating the atmosphere that keeps a happy family close. I wonder what would happen if all the computers crashed, cell phones and cable and sattelite all quit working or if food supplies quit comming in and people had to grow their own again. If a family of today was stuck out in the middle of nowhere without anything but a few tools, could they survive? I could tell them, but don't have the ability. What if all of us that have the know how pass away and it's all left up to our decendants? I try to console myself with the fact that I probably won't live to see such a thing, maybe it will never get to that point and I'm just looking for trouble where none exists. Oh well, at least I wish everyone knew how to grow a few vegies! That's life folks. Maybe some day I'll come back and change some of this story. I always wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
