Good news! -and Questions

My Grampa got out of hospital today - hurray! It turns out that rasied levels of potasium in his body caused the heart attack because he was taking too many of a certain pill from his medication. Hopefuly he shall be more vigilent about such things in the future.
He is looking well, and although breathless, he is walking stronger now than from before he had the attack. My Granny is overjoyed to see him again and I hope he stays out of the hospital for a good long while.
On a different tact, I hate drawing windows and shop signs. In the recent Darastrix page I just left them blank, but I dont think its a good effect. In pages before this where shops were visable I put names and logos etc on them all, but I found it oddly difficult to come up with them and it slowed me down a great deal. basicly, it was too much effort for too little return. The windows, however, have always been the same - black lifeless gaps in the masonry.
Does anyone have any suggestions here? How to make a window look like a window? Quick ways to suggest shop-ness? Anything at all that might help me improve on those fields, or even links to those who do it well so I may follow thier example.
Thanks in advance!

I wish I had any suggestions for the windows and shop signs, but they aren't exactly things I draw often myself. maybe shadows behind the windows or something, if it's a night scene?
