Don't we all wish for that?
Peace and quiet?
That's how it is around my house today.
I turned the television off after a quick check of the news from Washington so it's quiet once again.
The Visiting Renta-Cat has had his snack and some catnip and is now in his preferred position on the couch.
Out in the back yard, a Phoebe has been making repeated visits to the bird bath for drinks.
I'll have to go out and see if the ice has melted yet.
My thoughts go far back in the past, to when I was a young lad listening on the radio to the adventures of a couple who lived at 79 Wistful Vista.
They were known to their audience as Fibber McGee and Molly.
In real life they were a married couple - Jim and Marion Jordan.
Their popular radio program ran from 1935 to 1959 and it's final cancellation was considered by many to be the end of the Golden Age of radio.
I remember listening all through my childhood.
It was a good time, a peaceful time.
