How things change
Quicksilver,
When people ask where I grew up, I tell them with lots of teasing in my voice, "I'm an escapee from NJ". I live on the Upper East Side on a lovely tree lined street near Central Park. I love it, but when I visit my mom or my sisters in NJ, I do so love having a private backyard with a pool and a deck where I can enjoy my morning coffee. Sure I can get a Starbucks on my way to the park, but then I have to be showered, hair done and make up on - NJ is more relaxed! But when I hear about all the yard work and what it takes to keep up the pools, I'm thrilled to have 843 acres of park only two block away that I don't have to mow, weed, rake, etc!
If I didn't have an eat in kitchen I might hate being in an apartment, but this "apartment" is bigger than the first condo I had with my ex in NJ! Now that the kids are older and we have an "empty" nest most of the time, I like not having a big house and all it up keep. Hubby will never leave NY, so as long I decide to keep him, I'll be here - LOL
