I have a lot of friends throughout the United States. Some complain about where they live, especially in the winter when they’re buried up to their eyebrows in snow. When they start complaining, I suggest they move to South...

Shannon I use my air conditioner and stay in the cool rooms. Outside I stay in the shade and try to stay where I can feel a breeze. We broke down a couple years ago and bought a portable air conditioner for our room because the wall air conditioner for the rest of the...

I went to the library on Friday to pick up a couple of books to take with me to New York. I had a list of ten books I wanted to read this summer. I picked out three, The Ladies Room by Carolyn Brown, Seraphina by Rachel Hartman,...

Shannon It's been a while since I went on vacation, but I don't think I did for that vacation. When I go visit family I usually bring a book, but I don't always get a chance to read it.

Shannon Sounds like a lot of prep work, but definitely worth it if it helps you stay dry. It also sounds like it's going to be a great time with everyone there.

As promised, here is a picture of the baby quilt I made for my husband’s cousin. I really like how it turned out. I finished downloading the latest Photoshop but it will no longer download pictures from my phone. I have to...

Shannon That's a lovely baby quilt. I usually just email my pictures to myself if I need to get them on my computer, but I've also never used photoshop for my pictures either.

I think I got that quote right from the TV show, 'My Name Is Earl." When I was in Canmore, Alberta on vacation some weeks ago I did quite a bit of walking. Maybe because it was spring and the snow hadn't been gone that long,...

Shannon It's great that you are picking up trash when you are out walking, but sad that it is needed. The reward of almost a free coffee is nice too.

Shannon I have 10 years or more before all my kids are old enough to leave, so it will be awhile before I have to experience them gone all the time. I enjoy some alone time, but not that long a time. Maybe I would enjoy it more if I would have had a car so I could go...

Shannon It was nice to have them back and the kids even didn't start fighting right away. I missed them, but I enjoyed not having to hear them bicker for two days.

Shannon I enjoy some alone time, especially when everyone is home because it is so hard to come by. That much alone time gets lonely though.

Shannon Kids usually adjust quickly to new people, especially if it is a regular thing. I used to have an in-home daycare and the first day was always the worst. Depending on the age, the kids would always be much more fussy than normal. A few would cry at drop off...

Within the next 2 weeks, we will have the old ash tree removed from the backyard. It is dead for sure as you can see from the photo included here. At the same time, the tree removal company will be pruning some other trees that...

Shannon It may be expensive, but it's a lot easier than doing it yourself. Having them remove everything will be nice too. Enjoy the sunnier yard when they're done.

Shannon It was weird without them but I did enjoy not having to listen to them fight. I did miss them much of the time, but I think I missed hugging them goodnight the most.

Shannon I tried to enjoy my time, but it did get lonely. Even my dog was lonely for the rest of the family. Every time she heard a noise outside she would race to the door, even more than normal.

Here in my country we don't have forced health insurance. The place where I work, doesn't have the health insurance for the employees either. So we are left with doing that on our own or we have to put some money into the savings...

Shannon I like the health insurance, but with a family of 5 medical expenses can add up quickly if something happens. Both have their benefits and if I could afford both I would probably do that.

Shannon I usually have the radio on when I'm home regardless of whether there are other people here or not. I just don't like silence. I tried to enjoy my time, but I did miss them too.

Shannon For the quilts you make in advance, you could always make them gender neutral, then it wouldn't matter if they had a girl or a boy. I need to spend more time sewing too. I've had a quilt started for a few months that I still haven't finished.
