There are times when I wish I could go back too. Especially now that my parents are showing signs of their age. I had a good childhood.

Childhood, with all it's turmoil of learning and growing into adulthood was a great "place" on the whole.

What I liked best was that we got outside often as a family and I still love the outdoors. As a family, we would camp and visited the redwoods and the deserts often. At home, my siblings and I always had room to climb trees and build 'forts' and generally act like kids.

I now live in the desert and have a backyard wildlife habitat* filled with trees and the water and plants that are needed to attract wildlife.

Well for me it would be a little 2 bedroom house we share with my parents. We were and still are 10 of us, brothers and sisters.My younger brother says we might not have had luxuries and in door plumbing but we were very happy.Now most of us live in 3 -4-5 bedroom homes and we are not as happy like the good old days.

yes, for me it looks like we communicated more in small houses.

But now each has his own room, sitting next to his own computer -and communicate virtually, not to his own family... So strange, isn' t it?
