ON THE BACK BURNER

i heard on a commercial that Americans move 11 times in their lifetime. I have moved 12 times,the first three with my parents. The next with Bob. Does that mean that I don't have to count the moves with my parents because I had no voice in the matter. Bob and I lived in our Evanston home over 30 years. Then 7 in a high rise. we've been in Venice almost 15 years. The years add up, but it doesn't seem like that.They go by so fast. I counted the dogs that I have owned and that numbers 8. They all lived long lives. Maybe not Cricket. She went too early. I've had a dog attached to me since I was 10. That makes sense. I had Jake and Spot together , so that equals a dog every 10 years.That is better than a move every 7 1/2 years. packing is such a chore.
