Have you been dreaming of those days of old when you awoke to the sound of music, jumped out of bed, quickly dressed so as to not miss a minute of either playing Frisbee, soccer, or running on the lower green? Remember taking time to smell the rhododendron, standing in a big circle listening to the morning show, saying grace before sitting down, having a meal with friends from every state, enjoying after dinner entertainment, being challenged and surprised everyday with new adventures?
