I know your pain about the cost of plumbers, 2 winters ago we had major issues with my kitchen pipes freezing in a 2 week period we had a plumber 4 times.The cost was well over $400.00, this being right before Christmas, we were set for presents it was the cost of all the extra food that still had to be bought.Pantries only go so far. I also have some beautiful silver pieces.My best buy was from Goodwill a sterling service set of silverware for 12 in the original box for$ 19.00.<br />Your area is so beautiful.tealadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233373939739704642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-412426679105655262015-10-22T14:00:47.174-04:002015-10-22T14:00:47.174-04:00I love the new kitty home! So sweet!
The very ...I love the new kitty home! So sweet! <br /><br />The very first part of this post contained a reminder that I needed right now. Last week I was feeling very burned-out - behind on house projects and in dire need of some extended time for contemplation, and simply unfit to continue my daily life - so I decided to declare this week as our homeschool Fall Break. All weekend I looked forward to some much-needed time off this week. <br /><br />Well, as it turns out, when you take a break from homeschool but still have to manage extra-curricular activities (karate, piano, viola, scouts); homework for the kids' one-day-a-week cottage school; laundry; keeping tummies fed; a hubby's birthday dinner; and random other tasks of motherhood...you still don't get much of a break! :-/ I've found myself feeling bitter and disappointed today, as I feel pretty much the same level of burnout as I felt last week at this time. <br /><br />But the fact that you're still without running water, and your comment about the pioneers spending most of their time putting food on the table and tidying up, reminded me that I'm living a pretty easy life. Even if I didn't get as much of a break as I had hoped, I still have running water, and I still live a life that a pioneer would envy! Thank you for interrupting my pity party (and for "listening" to my story).<br /><br />P.S. I also LOVE morning light, even though I decidedly don't love mornings. ;-)Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544930173539144894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-13204293460727984442015-10-22T10:06:05.917-04:002015-10-22T10:06:05.917-04:00Love your study--looks so cozy--a good place to hi...Love your study--looks so cozy--a good place to hide away with a good book. Spider plant is beautiful. Give a kid or a kitty a box and they are happy. Hope you have water soon. I love reading about pioneer times but I definitely would not want to live in them. I love the modern conveniences.
