At this time last year I was in Lithuania and the people knew what to do on this summer feast. In this and other European countries it is a holiday weekend as everything shuts down and people take time to relax and celebrate, as many head for the sea shore to relax and reflect.
No expensive toys to play with just a fun time strolling around and being with people you care about. People were doing things that people once did in this country. That was get together and talk and enjoy a bit of cheer.
Now we run out and play for a designated time and speed back and lock ourselves indoors in our air conditioned homes. It was nice to stroll around, and go to restaurants and not freeze as windows were open to let in the refreshing breeze. There were hundreds of out door cafes to enjoy a drink and watch the world go by.
I just don't understand it. We sit inside our houses because it is to hot outside as we have the thermostat turned down low to freezing, and then when it is freezing outside we stay indoors and turn the temperature to hot. Something has got to be wrong with this picture.
