The Grass Is Always Greener?.....

       The grass always does seem to look
greener "on the other side of the hill."
        Our recent trip South was, primarily,
a chance to be with family there for a
week or so.
         The warmer weather was a bonus.
A chance for us to escape some of the
tough winter up this way.
         But it also provided a laugh or two
as the folks from Florida bundled up in
sweaters and such when the temperatures
dropped into the 60's. We were just fine
with wind breakers. Sometimes the
weather is as relative as the relatives!
         Then, the sun came out. The
temperatures went up. And we learned
that Florida has sunshine, green grass,
blossoms and...POLLEN!
         I had survived the snow and freezing
winds of our weather without a sign of a
cold only to find myself dealing with a
runny nose and watery eyes in the Sunshine
state!
       We did find the "gas" was greener down
south. Cheaper that is!
        Although prices in Florida were about
the same as around here we found a gallon
of regular in the Carolinas and Virginia
ranging from about $3.17 to $3.29.
        One station in South Carolina was
selling a gallon for $3.05! I'd be filling up
there every day....but I suspect the drive might
prove counter productive!
       Still I suppose, as Dorothy reminded us,
"There's no place like home!"
       Hope your grass is soon green and that
all your NEWS is good!
