Tonight I worked on my scenario story. It just seems to flow out of me, and there are some wonderful subplots going on too. It really has me relaxed now, emotionally. Lots of things came together this weekend too and it was worth watching the Pats win today too. Time for sleep!

i figured it would be sweet.

Rezgirl, is the sourdough pretty tangy or is it tamed down and sweet due to the sugar in the starter?

Almost all of the books Aint2nuts put down, and Louis L'mour and James Michener's Centennial, books on all the mountain men and Daniel Boone ( of course! ). Also, the bible , Where the Red Fern Grows, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I reread some of the Tom Sawyer books and found them to really be quite sophisticated more recently. There were plenty of books I read as well as all those... As many of the Zane Grey books as I could get ahold of too. All the Hardy Boys books!

Thanks for the tips!

Those star patterns, the sewing together would boggle my head up good, but I love em! Wonderful choice!

MacCormack ( Ny State) May be related to Buchanans and MacLeans in Scotland prior to four years after the Battle of Culloden, Scotland. Kondratowicz, Alexa, Alexander in Vilnius/Vilna Lithuanian or Polish territory depending on year, Prior to 1907 and also after 1915 for a few years Also look at business ties possibly as far back as 1700s between Kondratowicz and LaFerriere ( have seen brandy label with both names.... was told early in life they had been long time friends... ) . Hurley LaFerriere Turner Wilson Yingst ( Middletown PA Amish, also MacCormack in Amish) Collett, Theodore, master carpenter from Oslo Norway, going back to Camilla Collett Berg Welsh Earliest known Patrick Welsh 1910 Duluth MN Looking further back to Wexford, Ireland Campbell..... havent found it up the tree yet but its supposed to be there, kin to LaFerriere in Quebec/Montreal/Saskatchewan Before and during first years of 1900's ( Have to look at Dads baby book for more of his side) Dusablon possibly married LaFerriere

Thankyou Violet, that sounds good.

It all sounds delicious. As to drying apples, how thick should one slice the rings ? I have to dehydrate since I do not have canning equipment, but I want alot of my food portable anyway, so dehydration for now. Also, I want it really dry, what texture should the apple slices be when considered totally dry?

Hey I love those ideas!

i used a bit more than one pint of seashells on a pencil holder of a glass jar, using a glue gun to secure the shells. Added the rafia on top. Maybe I will make some more! Colored tissue and those foam cut outs like stars and suns and such can also be useful. Stashing them in the kids rooms might dissuade a robber... they would tend to look more in parents room, office, den, at the computer site in your home.... You could roll alot of bills into a jam jar size pencil keeper. I covered mine entirely and you cannot see it in at all.

can applesauce be frozen in plastic containers?

Thanks for the ideas ladies. I like the idea of refacing a comforter with new material. I can do that! Loved the tin lid wall idea too.

I have to giggle about the girls qualifying as 1st class Boy Scouts. I too, as a girl could easily do many of the Boy Scout badges and my dad even wrote a couple articles, one of which made it to Life magazine when I was in my early teens. My own son was Order of the Arrow and would have gotten Eagle Scout with his troop in northern California but he wanted to finish highschool with his Dad in GA at the time. But he has always continued to be very motivated and went from enlisted to the naval academy and became a Marine officer. He now is on terminal leave ( even if his cell phone finally died), and is going to become a teacher of history and probably English, as well as work further down the line to become a Ph.D. professor at college level in history and also a coach at collegiate level later on. ( Right now I just hope he gets his masters ok for teaching period! ) But no matter what, he's not afraid of long term hard work.... and he might be a redneck, cause he likes the South!

B names : Berg, possibly Berglund C names in my family: Collett ( Norwegian/French beginnings), Campbell D names Dusoblonski, Dusablon Polish and French lines

Bealadybug, putting duct tape on teeth to remove them... Do you mean that for childrens baby teeth, or well set adult teeth as well ( if need be in an emergency?)

Ok, my family is one big maze. The only A name I can offer at this time in my lineage is because it's from a second husband. Alexander.... his lineage goes back to the original plantation in the very early 1600's , in Maryland. He arrived with 3 African slaves, by way of Scotland of course. In 1700, his whole family moved south to Ablemarle county area and Dare County, and up until my ex's daddy was dead when Ray turned 7, from Cancer, they had possession of the plantation home. After Charles, his father died, the plantation home eventually became state owned and his sister ran the showings for visitors. Ray and his brother Earl, and their mother, moved to a tiny home in the middle of a cabbage field, and his mother raised them alone. They had no electricity for a long time and he said he would walk by Army guarded bunkers to get home from school. He grew up with little, and was a hoarder of weird things. He grew up with a depression mentality ( Yes he is older than me). Of course he deserted me so I live singly, with good reason I guess. My First hubby has a Mac type surname so will wait on that one. I cannot think of any other A surnames in my family tree or my son's who has his fathers lineage as well as mine.

I guess i will find out if we have no lemon juice by the time I get to Walmart in Plattsburgh on Tuesday. Will look at local grocers tomorrow though.

It is said you get more of the omega 3 in the tuna if you buy it with oil packing. So it helps those with cholesterol difficulties more than the water packed tuna.

I found some inexpensive mounted grow lights at wallyworld. I hope to pick some up early in August. They were about 3 ft. long I think, for only 8 bucks apiece. And if they were not bright enough, I can use them as spare lighting in the kitchen since those ceiling lights ( flourescents) are getting pretty worn out in these old apartments. Well, I learned a few things about grow light systems. You want to have them quite close to the leaves of the plants,and I want to rig a frame I can adjust the height of the lights and basic positions I figure I would need. It would be better than nothing! The other thing I need to do is outwit my cat when it comes to potting soil! . I think clear plastic on top of the soil with a spot for the plant to grow out of will work if I pin it all down. and...... I just brought home two spider plant babies and this can help clean the air inside my place. I think the grow lights have a broader UV spectrum than regular flourescent lights. One reason I liked these lights I saw was that the mounts were pretty solid looking and thats important when I am jockeying around a crowded, small apartment space. Also I may be able to cut down on the total wattage used.

I just read this thread and the totes would work for me too. With inside growing, will need grow lights but wallyworld has some that are not too expensive. ... great ideas~
