Balconys for the BATHROOM???  Them city folk sure do live queer lives.  We
go do our business and leave, don't have no time to be standin on the
balcony gaupin at the scenery.  And I'll bet the scenery here is a lot
better than from the top floor of some old apartment house in the city--we
got a huge maple tree right outside the bathroom and the room comes
equipped with the original 1930s plumbing.  The downstairs one that is, the
upstairs one wasn't put in till the '70s, Mom got sick of running the
quarter mile downstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night and
having to empty the "honey pot" in the morning gets old after the kids are
gone and you have to do it yourself.  Ruth
