But when we moved to North Carolina, it was like a shock...we moved from the big city into the countryside....I dont think I was able to get a full nights sleep for 6 months...it was so quiet, and I was used to the noises of the big city....
But eventually I became completely 'contrified(is that a word?)
Then we moved to Western Washington State, and we have lived more rurally ever since...
Going to Seattle, is even now a little scarey for me...My son, who lives in Seattle, laughs at me...he says he cannot believe that I was born, and raised in Chicago, and lived there for the first 32 yrs of my life...
Altho my son was more or less raised in the boonies, he now prefers the city life of Seattle...
He groans when he comes down to visit us in Olymia, because he finds it booooring....
But he agrees it was a great place to grow up...But now, at the age of 28, he prefers the hustle and bustle of the big city...
