I'm afraid I will be retired oneday without a pension, even though money has been kept from me for this reason. So, I probably won't be able to have a decent life, even though I will have worked hard for it.Things are so bad that kids have been very affected - they're not stubit- families go through hard times, and trust me ,teaching has become even hardrer. Having said all these, I admit, I'm one of the lucky ones to (still) have a job in Greece these days, but who knows?

Everyone has a talent, and mine is catapulting a chicken into a pot! LOL Yes, we had air-conditioning everywhere. It was quite pleasant in Reno ~ about 85F/29C isn. Lovely and dry. I hate humidity! Given that Terry is still working, we usually fly places because he is very careful with his using his vacation days. We could probably drive from Denver to Reno in about 2 days of steady driving. I'm starting to comprehend that I might not get to go everywhere! :( We shall see. I keep trying to be everywhere all the time ~ Maybe that's what's wrong with me!

I was taking lots of pictures in Thailand and Cambodia, and I realized that there was no reason why I couldn't in the US too ~ so I've been going for it. You will be retired, Rose Fern, before you know it! I keep asking myself, "How did I get here so fast?" I felt like I was working forever, and suddenly "Boom!" ~ here I am! You are a teacher, and that is no easy profession, but it is a joy to spend your life in the company of children. I'm glad that you have a job! Your country has been through so much in recent years.

Your collection is really interesting!I especially like your postcard- much better than the ones sold- and the petrol station- so much fun!The petrol station is the one that troubles me, since they aren't self service in Greece and I'm shy to go there and take a photo.So, when I saw that you took more than once, even having fun with it, I was impressed!<br /> Everytime I look at your posts it's a whole new world for me. As I only know the US from the movies, it's alwasy nice to look at the real thing through your photos. Such a diverse country!<br />Thank you so much for your comment- there's a reply on my blog. However, I'd like to be retired and be able to travel and have so much fun like you!
