Simple living is living within your means and modest doable goals, IMO.

Neat to see this take place in the speedy version. Do you happen to know the actual duraton of the move from start to finish.

Love the exhibit especially the Japanese cherry blossom and the conifer glade.

It is awesome. Wonder what further lies ahead.

What the world needs is sourced from around the world. When one country can supply all its own technology, essential resources for manufacturing,...

That does sound like a wonderful trip to make when you are full of energy and time to enjoy it. The flight to Japan and return is exhausting itself.

Grilled cheese, reheated beet, a yellow pepper and apple. I am getting down to eating a main meal at lunch and a light snack for supper these days.

My chuckle for the day, thanks. I read last a review of a book, China, which receive such a positive rating that I considered ordering it but...

When I was considering going to Japan and looked at tours, it was amazing to me how many focused on Japanese tech creations and visiting key sites. ...

Is it the naivete of youth vs wisdom of having lived more years or something else that makes the difference?

I can understand that now. Today, when I travel I want comfort, hot water, my meals prepared and peace and quiet. Earlier, it was fun to simplify...

TT, I love pink and grey so have to ask - dark or pale pink and grey? I have found that a raspberry pink needs a soft grey or a dark. Picky,...

Neat thread, GP. Funny to read the choices each has made. For me, it is seeing a live play more than once with different directors or if it is...

It was a very simple but wise speech.

I haven't had a pot roast for years and years. Bought one yesterday and placed in the crockpot overnight. Very tasty.

You win the prize for frugality so far this month, I think, TT. Do I hear a better offer? ;) The best part is that you were able to also avoid...

Dear GP, threads go off the original post more often than not as I have learned over the years. Most often, I have discovered more different...

Stir fry of broccoli, cauliflower, onion with a sausage and a homemade bun.

That sounds like a winner approach all round for our world. Sadly, from one of the reviews in 2014, it appears that Ray C. Anderson passed away a...

Well spoken from both of you. If people who care feel overwhelmed with the size of the problem, they feel paralyzed and helpless so apathy sets in. ...

OK, Catherine, do I need to remind you about you making your own clothes?

A museum may have found them interesting from a cultural perspective

Delightful!

Thank you so much for posting this, Dado. I have often thought about seeing the Mardi Gras after a friend from Louisiana told me of her experiences...

Wow, that is walking seriously. The most that I have ever walked regularly is about 10-12 miles and not often in recent years. I love walking and...

Love that Vermont video!!! Always surprised to see how a thread evolves and how interesting the posts are.

Homemade mac and cheese with veggie stir fry sounds good. Thanks TT.

And here I was thinking we were talking about the lonely people as were described in the two songs from Alan and Catherine. Silly me.

I am not denying that losses and tragedies happen, not for a minute. I don't live on another planet or in a bubble. I also know that each one of...

OK!!!! I protest this gloom and doom. We can do something about it, each and everyone of us instead of crying; go for a walk greeting your...

Certainly a sad song to listen to. The immediate first response I felt in listening now to it for the first time is: ...
