Hummingbirds
How great is that!!! they are always so fast. I have them perch for awhile, but just like everything else they do, they probably scratch fast as well. I love hummingbirds and think your picture is really cool. Laurie

Sweet Potato Casserole
Hi, I thought I would write to say I have this recipe, only mine calls for walnuts.I think pecans would be a great change. whenever I take this cassarole somwhere, Iam always asked for the recipe.!!! People I know that do not even like sweet potatoes will eat...

My Dog Hates His Crate
We put the crate in the bedroom with us, this way the puppy may not feel so isolated and alone. If puppy wakes up crying I am right there to re-assure and usually ours have gone back to sleep. The crate is right next to me by bed, so I can actually touch puppy...

German Potato Salad
Thank you so much for the recipes! These sound just like what I had at the deli but just could not figure out all of the flavors. We all love it so I cannot wait to have some of my own. The deli is 2 hours from where I live so making it myself is a much better...

Dealing With The Grief After Losing a Pet
Be kind to yourself, take what you need for you to grieve, it is an individual process. Know you gave him a great home, and that you have many wonderfull memories of time together. Loss is always painfull and hard.

Coins Are Money Too
I have to say I have been amazed at the amount of coinage I have found. Sometimes it seems someone has dropped all of their change and just left it. I will find a quarter, then another,a couple of dimes etc. I cannot imagine dropping my change like that and...

Sunset at Camp Lejeune, NC
That picture is so beautiful!! I think it is a treasure to live in a place that will present such beauty to paint, draw or take pictures of, actually to even just relax and take in. Thank you for sharing it, I think it is really great.

Uses for Wallpaper Books
I know it is old fashioned but someone I know used them in a doll house she was decorating. I love the idea for cards.

Homemade Salami
Thank you Trudy, this sounds really good. I love salami and I love making things homemade, it never occurred to me to try salami! Do you make it frequently? Just curious. I can`t wait to try it. cadia

How can you introduce a dog to an aggressive dog's household?
This is just my 2cents worth, but with dogs as large, heavy and breeds like yours I would either reconcile myself to feeding them 2xper day in two different rooms (doors closed), then pick up all food, put away so the source of conflict is not there. The other...

Wine Crate Treasure Boxes

Treasure Boxes from Wine Crates
I really love your idea, practical, and they are so pretty.!! I can see why you get such enjoyment from creating them. I like the plan of the wheels on them , being able to move it around, is so much easier when using it as a storage piece. I really like the...

New England Travel Tips

Your story is such an inspirational and touching one. Iwanted to say how very much I admire your spirit, determination and the view you have about life. Thank you so much. acadia

Living Off The Land
Years ago in my other life, this was just what we had planned to do, and to a very small degree did some of it. I have made my own butter, yogurt, breads and such, never bought "store bought" My kids would say can we not have a box cake just once? After they...

Olivia (Coton de Tulear)
Thank you so much for all the many compliments! She is a sweetheart, and I do just love that picture of her. My computer has been down and out for about a week, so I was way out of touch. I was very pleasantly surprised to come to this site ( which I love!) and...

Olivia (Coton de Tulear)
Hi, I wanted to answer the questions sent to me about Olivia. Roberta, as far as I know, there are not too many in Maine. I am a member of the CTCA and I do believe I am the only member here breeding them. They have a couple of brothers in lower midcoast. My...

Poll: Have you driven the same car for 10 years or more?
I have driven cars until, or way beyond 10yrs. old in the past. Todays cars are far more difficult to work on, unless you are a mechanic, and for even fairly simple tasks. When things do begin breaking down now in comparison, it can quickly add to a lot of...

Poll: Have you ever made soap?
I have made soap several times, and using different scents.I always get an "old fashioned" feeling after my batch has been checked, and it is cooling. Doing this today, although it is something special for me, when years ago it was a chore of everyday life...

New Car with Bad Smell
