They're my husband's kids so when they came to me, the bigger one wasn't that aware of time. He knows now, although the smaller one is probably more into it (he's a show-off, but he's a charming kid, and I always say, better a show-off that get things done).<br /><br />Anyhoo, this is my C post: <b><a href="https://jgifederizo.wordpress.com/2017/04/04/jollibee-commercials/" rel="nofollow">Contents with all the Feels</a></b>...Talk about marketing!!! jgifederizohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225763142532864066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-18013098617650265542017-04-05T21:45:20.358-07:002017-04-05T21:45:20.358-07:00Diedre, when I was a kid I rarely cared about exac...Diedre, when I was a kid I rarely cared about exact time unless there was a special TV show that I wanted to see--no home recording devices back then.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-46251062090465777662017-04-05T21:44:09.828-07:002017-04-05T21:44:09.828-07:00Susan S, I rarely wear my watch anymore unless I t...Susan S, I rarely wear my watch anymore unless I think I might be in a place with no clocks.

But I do need them. Just as I wear a wristwatch because I have for so long and I like it (plus its useful on planes or when you're trekking and can't charge your phone) I hang calendars in every room for the pictures. Don't have too many clocks anymore, except like you, on the appliances and land line phones.

Calendars, I have one main one in the hall for the family to keep track of things but I'm a planner girl too and have 3 of those. Every morning when I wake up the first thing I think about is what day it is. Helps me get myself together! I'm enjoying your time traveling.

For the most part, we do what we want, when we want, and what time we do these things doesn't matter. The only real exceptions are when there's a doctor appointment. We have alarms set for when we need to give the girls their wake-up calls, so we don't have to watch the clock or calendar there. <br /><br />We don't have any actual stand alone clocks in our house. I do have a printed calendar from Our Daily Bread Ministries on the wall in front of me. Our phones and computers have clocks and calendars in them. The microwave and the stove and our car all have clocks in them.<br /><br />I do love clocks, especially the antique ones. I would love to have one like the clock pictured in my "C" post. Maybe some day.<br /><br />One of the questions they ask David any time he is admitted to the hospital is does he know what day it is. Most of the time neither one of us does until we look at our phone or computer because we usually just don't think about it. <br /><br />Have a blessed night!Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-26422769315691940292017-04-04T20:16:58.410-07:002017-04-04T20:16:58.410-07:00I didn't realize how many clocks I have. 7 clo...I didn't realize how many clocks I have. 7 clocks plus the clocks on my phone, computer, TV, and kindle.
