    Gas or Electric?

    We have had nothing but gas stoves for over half a century and would never switch to electric. My son has an electric stove and if my wife has to cook a meal at his house all she does is complain about the stove. Also, we have a ventless fireplace and it does not have any smell either. The...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    The Queen of American Lakes – Lake George. When Thomas Jefferson gazed upon the waters of Lake George in 1791, he was inspired to write, “Lake George is without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw.” I totally agree.

    When TV Was Free

    I would like to add to the previous post that each of the local broadcast stations have sub-channels broadcasting old TV shows like Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, MASH, All in the family and several more that are shown late into the night.

    Mary, they are plastic berry baskets that Theresa had in the basement. They originally were inserts for containers meant to store berries in the refrigerator. Theresa uses the containers but has never used the inserts. She asked me if I could use them before they went into the recycle...

    Don't throw that container away just yet.

    The afternoon was spent repotting orchids in preparation for winter. Whenever possible I use containers salvaged from the recycle bin. Let's face it, orchids, when not in bloom, are not very attractive plants, so why spend a lot of money on attractive growing containers? Also, most of my...
