I'm going to start planning my retirement home built completely from Lincoln Logs. <BR/>I laughed about the CDs I wonder where to buy the talking fire alarms - I'll look into that. I've heard teens (I have two) will sleep straight through an alarm.

Recently it hit me that my parents' and siblings' photo albums would contain some photos of us. My brothers are going to scan photos and burn them onto CDs for me. Maybe your family too will be willing to make copies of photos for you if you ask.Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-88575802174750234482009-01-21T16:21:00.000-06:002009-01-21T16:21:00.000-06:00Ha ha Travis...

You may get free stuff in return (always a good thing) and you've got great photographic evidence to boot! I love it!<BR/><BR/>I had no idea about the talking detectors. That's kind of creepy... LOL. When we hear the shrilling noise at my parents' house, my kids and I always yell, "Dinner's ready!" (and it's true... that's when dinner at Mom's truly is done, not us being randomly rude. Don't ask me why she put the detector so close to the oven - one of life's little mysteries.)<BR/><BR/>I love your attitude, and you shouldn't feel guilty about finding laughter and happiness.
