I have tried to do the reverse and it is always a shock to my system to leave my cabin and go to town, not to mention going to Los Angeles twice a year. I read your Mother Earth News article and really liked reading about your early life. If only mine had been in such a wonderful location. But my parents did take lots of time with me, reading and talking even though we had all of the distractions of city life to contend with. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-66153944031931809472010-06-07T15:49:39.183+10:002010-06-07T15:49:39.183+10:00I am just new to your page and love it, so much in...I am just new to your page and love it, so much information to read and absorb.

I love the lights around the sink. We keep some on our trees out back year round as well. My son lined his stairsteps in his first apartment with them! Practical and safe! Love the view of the backyard and your backdoor!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493032566628208381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-34878793252472934392010-06-05T16:48:47.757+10:002010-06-05T16:48:47.757+10:00Chookie, I tried to fix it but can't.

Yes, I love doing dishes too! and get funny comments and looks about this. I'm middle age though and have come to realise lots of dishes is a consequence of lots of good home cooking. They go hand in hand, so why not see doing them as family oportunities. I so often hear people today say how much they hate cooking. But I love to eat, I say:) <br />Just love the dishcloth, reused bags and compost. You are an inspiration.<br />I think the fairy lights are very creative too!<br />Regards<br />Perth<br />AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-73777633175883658842010-06-05T16:25:16.649+10:002010-06-05T16:25:16.649+10:00(Rhonda, the post-a-comment link is invisible toda...(Rhonda, the post-a-comment link is invisible today!)<br /><br />I love seeing another small kitchen, especially as I find mine *depressingly* small!
