Home Sounds

Who is the noisiest person in your home? You know, this is the family member you don't have to see to know he/she is at home.  The loud footsteps and  the banging cupboard doors attest to this person's presence.  Maybe your noisy family member has a booming voice or a distinctive laugh.  Maybe your noisy family member always has the television tuned to a particular channel, whether or not he/she is in the room with the television. This is the family member who loudly bangs the pots and pans during food preparation  and dish washing time. They don't appear to hear their own noise.
By contrast, you probably have a very quiet family member,  one whose footsteps you  barely hear.  This quiet member turns the volume on home devices so low that you wonder how he/she can hear what's on.  Sometimes this family member surprises you with his/her presence in a room because you do not hear entry sounds. When this person reads the newspaper, you don't hear the pages turn.
No matter who is the most quiet or the most noisy, we love them all, don't we?  Family is a blessing.
Smiles,
Sylvia
