Hey friends.. so glad you are visiting and sharing in Tuesday 4

Blast from the Past

 Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4..  We are glad to have you here!

1.   If you had one million dollars to spend only on yourself, what would you spend it on?

First I would invest it to make many millions because a million today is nothing.   

I  would buy a large home with a big yard, have a lovely pond built for fish and lilies and swimming too.  The house would probably be a huge Victorian style.

Oh for a veranda!!

 I am no fan of small homes or of downsizing.  I am disabled and small homes are very difficult to get around in for me.  Smaller homes can  look cluttered which I do not like either. Some ladies are very clever with clutter though and make it work for them! Good for you if you can but my main problem is needing space to get around easily.  My home now is 1000 sq feet and way too small. I am always getting hurt trying to get around.  

a man made pond with swimming hole.

I would take a much needed vacation after decades of stress.  I would probably go to  the seashore in Maine or Massachusetts.. Martha's Vineyard , etc.

2.   You can do it again. What decade are you going back to and why? What's the attraction?   I would like to try the 50's.  It was a prosperous time and there were so much more freedom in this nation.

3.   What's the last song that got stuck in your head? Alternatively, what's your current favorite song?    In Spite of Ourselves by John Prine and sung in a duet with John and Iris Dement was in my head today

4.   What items do you miss from the past and wish they were still around?

Real telephones!   I don't want to play games on my phone or be bothered with Face Book, etc.  on a phone   Ugh!   

Real TV programs from the past and a real TV with less channels and easy channel flipping. 

Also real American made cars made of real  heavy gauge steel manufactured in America.  Right now its imported low grade cheap steel.
