Miss Cellane - love that small town one stop shopping! That's great!

Bagpipes, very cool, Ishbel!

Nice!

I'll be checking online. Husband won't care to watch it on television, but he'll want updates. I just have this feeling, we're not going to have an answer tonight with trying to count votes...

I was recently either watching something or on a website (maybe here?) where someone had suggested the novel idea that many do not think of: a demo of a portion of the home. Maybe it's mainstream to...

Very cool, float!

I play no instruments. It is truly pathetic. I think I could learn the piano.

Husband plays the didgeridoo. Our daughter - now she can play piano, guitar, and is now...

So true! Technology helps, though, I still like to send a hand written letter a few times a year (just whenever I'm led to do it). Seems some friends really like text messaging, too. I have one...

Fidge - such a good topic. I understand your gnawing feeling to contribute more. However, I agree that there are times in our lives that we must just Be.

Over my years, I've donated so many hours...

Welcome!

I have to pet peeve Blogger. Regardless of the fact that all of my photos are of similar file size and are jpeg, it seems to pick and choose which ones it will allow me to upload. And the majority...

Fidgie - I'm looking that up at this moment. There's - a lot..

We went to the homestead. Husband helped FIL with electric gate. I brought scraps for goats, a watermelon to contribute for family dinner. Came home with pounds and pounds of Satsuma Oranges,...

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing the article.

I've been on the other side of that coin, where my children (grandchildren) were not prioritized over a grandparent's dog. And that is detrimental to the children, as well.

And even though these...

I use a little olive oil in dry season and moisturize after showers. I also will cut the bottle in half, to ensure that I'm getting all of the product out. There can sometimes be a week's worth...

Real.

With that said, there are aspects of my life that I won't dive too deep into. And that is for PERSEC (personal security) reasons.

I'm also not a big complainer. However, if I'm having a...

The inside says 'Guidebook for moving from urban to rural America'. One thing I love about our suburb/urban areas is all of the art and farmer's markets, museums.. neat cafes. It's funny because...

You can do it. Don't confront it as 'I have to go through 250 boxes!'

Small bites.

Aim to weed through 10% first. Make small goals.

Out of all of the things that we've rid ourselves of,...

Oh.. and at the neighborhood Halloween potluck, our neighbor made us bring home extra food, so dinner is half ready for tonight. And school has a free Astronomy Night (bring your binoculars) with the...

A house on the way to school put a huge, wood shelf by the curb. I'm picking it up (hope it's still there) on the way to pick up kids. Painted white and with some good brackets, it will be great in...

I was fortunate to find this at our Salvation Army for 99 cents. It's been on my list for some time. I don't have a super huge book collection, however, consider it a nice read that I've thumbed...

Yep.. and in the military, we never say 'Goodbye' but 'See you later'. Those types of friendships, we've kept up with over husband's career. My in laws (retired military) also have friends from very...

Wow, that is great.

We have a neighbor who is an extreme couponer. She recently went through her stockpile which was overflowing. I'm not a big couponer, so this is really wow. just. wow. to me....

Congratulations! Hope that it is a restful, uneventful pregnancy. :)

When we went from 1 to 2, we were living in a 1000 sqft, 2 bedroom/1.5 bth. And that 2nd bedroom was the size of a small...

My husband has certain stories that he tells really well. Sometimes, there's a repeat. I usually will say, 'Oh, yeah, I remember when you told me about that...' and it solves the issue. Then again,...

I set the routine budget, we earmark up to several pay periods in advance, specific needs/wants that we have (from whatever the disposable amount is left for groceries, gas, etc.)

This is really...
