Pick your battles basically, do what you can or needs to be done in order of importance and don't beat yourself up over what you haven't done. Its not the end of the world if every single thing on your to do list does not get done, usually. What will really happen if you don't get your kitchen...

I did that method this year and I loved it. I have heard others complain it wasn't their thing, but it worked very well for me and I intend to do the garden the same way again this year.

I know that I will be getting a much earlier jump on the garden this year. Last year we spent some time organzing and building the frames for the garden and hauling in loam and all that. We don't have to do any of that this year so it will be easier to get going on it. We have 4 more frames...

Well we are expecting a big storm tomorrow and we just got an e-mail and a phone call from the school department that they are dismissing the kids before noon tomorrow so as to get the kids home before the storm hits. Another storm was predicted for Sunday as well. I know the kids will be...

You know, I just don't think dogs belong at a farmer's market,not only for the food issue but also for the safety issue. I love dogs and I have 5 but I don't treat them like they are humans with all the same rights as people and bring them everywhere with me. I don't like to be walking around a...

I was wondering who handles the markets. I saw a woman who apparently was a manager of some type I think, because there was some incident over someone's dogs attacking eachother there and she ended up in the thick of the owner's arguments so I assumed it was her. But since things were really...

Thats good for your customers though to know exactly where the eggs are coming from and the fact that you don't have an unlimited supply proves it for you. I couldn't believe he actually admitted to doing something like that either, he was so brazen. I stormed off and its bothered me ever since...

Karen, I was at a farmers market this summer and I started talking to a guy who was selling eggs. I was trying to get a feel of the market since I am thinking of setting up there myself. He advertised them as his own fresh eggs and hung up pictures of his chickens. I asked him how many...

Right, the point I was making on the experts and what I mean by that is the people that have alot of experience in what they do and you can get alot of help there compared to here. In fact for many its their bread and butter, what they do for a living and have a ton of advice, many of it tried...

Those two bee forums are a wealth of information and any question you will ever have relating to bees will be answered by the experts there. I know that those are the 2 biggest out there and anytime you search anything bee related they come up. The information gleaned over at those 2 sites I...

Was he doing this when you married him or did he just start with the video games? Did he use to have aspirations or was he always indifferent? The reason I ask is if he was like that at 28, he most likely wasn't going to grow up much more than he already was at that point and its probably that...

that sounds like an open bar at my in-laws functions.

Hey thats really nice dacjohns. I should have the pictures up by tomorrow I promise. You all have been really nice, I appreciate it. Its been a long process getting this old place restored to her former glory without sacrificing any of the original woodwork etc. it needed alot of work but she...

I have never gone shopping on the day after thanksgiving. My son had to be at work at 4:30 a.m though since he works at Circuit City. I just have never been in that shopping frenzy mode, besides I don't go overboard on my Christmas gifts anyway. I think most of those deals are just lures to get...

Thanks Ann, I am so not computer savvy. I am learning as I go along. But getting there slowly but surely. I wonder if I can scan the newpaper pics too.

We do not totally run by the sun but at night after dinner I shut off all the lights and we use the oil lamps and candles. I light the fireplaces and curl up near the one in my bedroom with a good book. The kids should be in bed not long after anyway so it doesn't seem to bother them. They come...

Thanks everyone, I was just talking to ann-reinbeau yesterday about how to post pictures here. I am going to try to figure it out, I am missing something on the camera that makes it easier to post pictures so we were talking about a different way to do it .If I have a problem with it though I...

I bought some alabaster eggs for this same reason at a yardsale a few months ago. Are you sure you can't find some at a thrift store or even online?

My husband and I were awarded a plaque by the historical commission in our town this week. Our home was built in the 1700's and was a stagecoach stop that ran from here to Boston. They also had a shoe factory on the property and Daniel Webster use to come here to get his congressman's boots...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had a great day, lots of cooking but great to have family together. Its also my daughter's birthday today and it was my son's birthday yesterday so we had cake and presents after the big dinner. I am exhausted but the best part is all the...
