Interesting to how children played and what kind of toys they have. <br />This summer I was in Friesland in the north of my country the Netherlands, where I had the opportunity to see an open-air museum. It was all about digging peat and the lives of the peatworkers. They were so poor and had many children. Very interesting how these people had to fend for themselves. It was a socialist who helped them to get more bearable lives. No wonder that this part of the country is in favour of socialism. Well there are so many similarities between your country and our European countries!Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25499888.post-15208372917093825832008-03-29T20:10:00.000-07:002008-03-29T20:10:00.000-07:00John,I am from West Virginia, now living in Moultr...John,<BR/>I am from West Virginia, now living in Moultrie, Ga.
