The internet offers of information that I wouldn’t have found in encyclopedias or dictionaries. I’m nearing seventy now, & I didn’t suppose I would ever learn how to use cellphones, or laptops, however here I am working from home, thanks to laptops & the internet. It’s enjoyable to suppose that I can just open a […]

I built our first chicken coop when I was twelve years old. My dad helped me out by threatening to kick our butt if I didn’t do it. Dad wasn’t a hands-on type of guy, however she knew how to encourage her adolescents! I appreciate to kid about it, however in her own way Dad […]

My hubby thought I was looking for a new job this week. I was asking him a lot of questions about ironworker wire, form wire, & tie wire coils. When I asked what they used stainless steel ironworker wire for, she was stumped. I went through a myriad of uses the internet suggests, although I […]

The home was a fixer-upper, & we knew that going in; Jessie & I had been yearning for a home of our own, so we could stop renting a tiny apartment, & we got our opportunity at a local property auction. For a fraction of what a home costs we were able to purchase a […]

My family regularly kept chickens in the backyard. Just a dozen parakeets or so, enough to supply us with eggs & keep the yard looking well groomed. Eventually I decided that they deserved a chicken coop. This would be more convenient for the parakeets, help them supply more, & better, eggs, & allow us to […]
