[QUOTE="Jody, post: 425819, member: 8787"] It was so much fun. My easy child is home from college. She is a neat, organization nut. She came over and she said I have an idea how to decorate the front room. ( I had asked for her advice when she got home). I am positively no good at this. She would get rid of everything if I let her but anyway. difficult child and I were so proud of our finds, and we were so interested in everything that we could barely put the books down. Well easy child comes over and we decorate and difficult child says to her sister, look sis, we got the old, old books at an estate sale today. They are from the 1800's. I didn't really want to tell easy child because to her it's junk, to difficult child and me it's a great find. easy child said oh that's nice, and she closed the book that difficult child held open for her to read and closed it and set it on the coffee table with another book on top of it. She said we can use that as a decoration, but only two. difficult child, looked at me in horror, she said to her sister your not even going to look at a page? easy child's response was I did and I think it looks good as a decoration, don't you. No interest whatsoever. She actually just looked at it as if it were a regular book/newspaper that needed to be disposed of. My daughters are so different. I am close with both, but difficult child and I are very much alike and look so much alike, and even though she doesn't live with me right now we are very close. I miss having that close relationship with my easy child. I think it's because she's away at college a lot. [/QUOTE]
