you know, it's funny. i don't remember having a screen door on the front door but we had a screened porch on the back.
later when i was a teenager we moved and that home did have a screen door and no back porch.
i'm in colorado now and love to open my windows and lower the top of my storm door to let air in. and open the patio door which also has a screen. Now i do get pollen in the house like crazy and dust since it's so very dry here, but i must have some outdoor air!!
