Room With A View
A person who dwells in the country knows that there are days when outside work is impossible, and in his or her heart there is a secret yearning for such a sedentary day, for a chance to doze by the fire free of nagging pangs of guilt, for the chance to read something wholly worthless, to sort aimlessly through papers, or to listen to some ancient and forgotten record, the sound of which will bring back memories of a time long past. By Caskie Stinnett.
