Hubby installed heliodyne for my parents, and they like it. It's a small array that heats their domestic hot water.

Hm. Just reading this after being away for while. I wonder... I don't know the load estimates for the hot plate vs. a small microwave for reheating stuff. For coffee or tea, just boil water somehow. (And I'm wondering if a lower wattage microwave would have a lower load than the electric...

Ha! I thought I was the only one who hates doing the dishes! And so many people like any chores related to firewood, just like me! :celebrate I would rather clean the droppings board in the chicken coop than do the dishes. Laundry is the 2nd least favorite.

Thanks for the feedback! I would have responded in a more timely manner, but the email notification thingy didn't work.

I am thankful for everything I have. And I don't mean the material things like jewelry, cars, or the iPhone I'm posting with right now. I am not just thankful for my family, but thankful that they accept me for who I am. And thankful that the ones who don't, keep their feelings to...

Here area few photos that sum up what's gone on since July. Hiking in the woods The hens started laying! I love fall

Wow, I can't believe it's been since July 11th that I last posted here. Summer was busy. We spent a lot of time outside- in the garden, in the woods, and in the boat. Most of the time spent in the boat was me trying not to act frustrated/nervous/annoyed that it wouldn't start while we were...

Heh. I guess I missed all the drama. I had a busy summer, and a busier fall. How is everyone doing? :frow

I used to work for Head Start. I loved it. I will say that it seems that different counties and different states run their programs a little differently. Your little one will have a good time. I would say take the opportunity for the nap and do not feel guilty AT ALL. :D and: Yay for...

Ooh, silk with a steamer- very fancy! I just do cotton shirts as a science/chemistry project with my youth. I also like it because it's LITERALLY hands on and is great for teaching spatial relations. I haven't had to order dye in a long time, but if I remember- don't they have different...

Guinness- the beer that drinks like a steak! :drool

Diet beer and barley pop! That was great for a laugh! :D Now if you'll excuse me, my extra stout is waiting for me. ;)

I see you've been playing around a bit with procion dyes! Just got done doing tie dyes for a 4-H youth project. First year we did this we used a kit from dharma trading co. Now instead of the synthrapol I use oxyclean and warm water for the stain removing step after rinsing. Sometimes you...

My sister lives in Cazenovia, and I'm from near lake placid. Welcome!

I only thought of banana because I was out of red wine vinegar and straight red wine. *hic*. ;) Bananas are the first things I find them on, so I just threw a piece in there to see what would happen.

I have been using a paper cone flipped upside down in a tall glass with a piece of banana in the bottom, but then I found a trick that uses a tapered plastic bottle (2-liter soda bottle). I think I will try this later. What's your best home made fruit fly trap, and what do you use as bait...

Just curious if you found what was making your son go allergy-nuts. Or did you just clean everything and it disappeared?

Had a great weekend. Now I have settled in to enjoy summer at home, for the most part. We got a new eureka tent, the 4-man. Love this tent. We slept out in it all weekend- all 3 of us! Squriming kid in the middle makes for groggy wake-ups, but we just make more coffee. Had relatives over...

Hadn't thought of that. Will do. They ARE great, I was on it the other night. :D
