Family Contract

Back in the 18th century many families lived together in one house as many as three generations all in one place.

We proceeded into the 20th. The trend became just the opposite. The younger generation wanted to strike out on their own by obtaining their own apartment or condo. Same with the older generation they generally moved into a smaller place that was more manageable and less expensive.

Now it seems like the trend is reversing again. Children who are not married in their 30s and 40s many times are moving back in with their parents. Elderly parents moving back in with their children.

New Girl

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps:

I have been watching that show called New Girl recently on our directv Palm Bay. I heard about the show before it aired and was really happy for it to come out. It has an actress that I really like. Her name is Zoey Deschanel. She was in the movie Elf, too. She can sing really well and is really cute and funny. She reminds me of one of my friends actually. She used to date a member of a band I like too, Death Cab for Cutie. They recently broke up, which is so sad to me! The show is still great though. She moves in with a group of guys and has to learn to get along with them. She is a little socially awkward, to be honest. That is what really makes the show. It seems like a lot of the recent comedies that are successful have an element of awkwardness in them. Sometimes it is hard to watch the shows because the moments are so uncomfortable. I still watch it though and it really makes me laugh a lot. I am glad that Zoey is having success after everything she must be going through.
