I think the price of avocados will be skyrocketing.<br /><br />I collected a bunch of vintage paintings of waterfalls, and a friend who is a talented landscape artist has painted ours, but it's ver hard to capture that rush of moving water. I'm afraid to try. I think it would have to be a craze energetic abstract.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-72833359206109848852015-05-08T13:06:28.737-04:002015-05-08T13:06:28.737-04:0090% Karen.

Although I knew you wouldn't begrudge your children that water, it seems selfish that NYC would get most of it, when it has a big Hudson River nearby, which the map shows as a contributor, also. Unlike you, Jen, I don't see New York City as the center of the country (remember that cartoon map showing America with NYC taking up most of it?leaves on the Raney Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711219595014372212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-14806973748220132472015-05-07T17:20:02.777-04:002015-05-07T17:20:02.777-04:00My husband has always said that there is no more d...My husband has always said that there is no more deicious water than New York City's, now I know why.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548038213207928436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-68871351992834335382015-05-07T15:53:43.618-04:002015-05-07T15:53:43.618-04:00Hello Jen,

Perhaps you could consider water filters for their next birthday presents.<br />--Jim<br />P.S. The water here in Taipei is great (it comes from a beautiful mountain reservoir), but there is such universal distrust of the piping system that everyone drinks filtered or bottled water.
