    hmmm, my family couldn’t afford vacations. when we visited family out of state we’d always have someone house sit to take care of the animals. usually a neighbor.

    being the youngest boy and the biggest lover of animals, i became the default to do that for out neighbors when they were out.

    it was a lovely little neighborhood.

    but also, back then social media was young and pretty much only young people were on it. for my parents to give me advice about what to put on my blogspot or Facebook would have made me guffaw. hell, correctly identifying the platform and that one could share vacation plans on it would have been a big ask.
