But the other day, while thinking about building up our stockpile again, I thought of you & your blog. I have been enjoying catching up the past couple of days! So happy you are still blogging and congratulations on your book!~TJTommie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352916891565138436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-41725949223309727692014-10-11T23:18:25.649+10:002014-10-11T23:18:25.649+10:00LOL!!LOL!!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-74668282641522246082014-10-11T21:44:39.365+10:002014-10-11T21:44:39.365+10:00I enjoyed the article about life in a "degrow...I enjoyed the article about life in a "degrowth" economy. Just last night (while shelling peas) we were discussing what some call "transition" economies and what life in them can be like. While we may move into those kinds of economies by necessity, if done thoughtfully then we should actually experience an improvement in our lifestyles, not a diminishment of them.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640663629610290592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-76182883563113375702014-10-11T08:52:25.702+10:002014-10-11T08:52:25.702+10:00It sounds like a beautiful place, Laurie. xxIt sounds like a beautiful place, Laurie. xxrhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-18597757805538048162014-10-11T06:38:53.567+10:002014-10-11T06:38:53.567+10:00As a Mainer, I sure loved the link to hard-working...As a Mainer, I sure loved the link to hard-working, potatoe-picking Maine teenagers in Aroostook County, or the County as we call it in Maine. My maternal grandmother was from the County, and I think of it as my spiritual home.

I'm off to visit Yellow Poppies blog - thanks for the link :-) I did a calligraphic piece for one of the DTE swaps, and the recipient said she was very happy with it. You do wonder what happens to your craft works on the other side of the world!<br />Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-42549096276338414622014-10-10T12:08:35.945+10:002014-10-10T12:08:35.945+10:00Lunch Time Friday's are the best of the week a...Lunch Time Friday's are the best of the week as i get to visit some of your suggested sites.
