Now its a moving parking lot (128), building and hotels. Those places create jobs. I can't help wonder where else the jobs could be created instead of filling up farmland. Probably farther out in larger farmland areas.

It displays various settings of garden furniture one of which has a hat perched on the back of a chair and that is where the robin is nesting! A notice asks customers not to move the hat.<br />It is a mistake to return to a much loved place after a long time. I still remember the horrid feeling I had as I looked between the new houses for a glimpse of my grandmother's garden where I spent such a happy childhood. <br />Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-59361211844353825922015-04-19T06:56:09.975-07:002015-04-19T06:56:09.975-07:00Thanks to everyone.
