We can't even turn off our air conditioner to enjoy today's cooler weather because their cigarette smoke comes pouring in whenever we do turn it off. We should be able to breathe in our own home. Wide open spaces would be great! If you could live in any rural area that you wanted, where would you want to live? Anywhere in particular or it doesn't matter? <br /><br />I would love in the middle of nowhere in a place that has definite seasons, though I do appreciate the long growing season in this part of Texas. I would appreciate it even more if I could successfully grow something. :)<br /><br />Yes, it was a horrible tragedy. I just can't imagine how that man went on after that. How does one recover from something like that?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

The last place that I lived with my parents was as close as I ever got. It was in a rural area, but had a subdivision right across the street in the front and one to the side across our creek and tree line. I have lived in town, albeit small towns, pretty much my entire life. I've never lived in a big city except for when I went to USC, but that was in a dorm on campus and just not the same. What kind of city do you prefer, the really huge ones like Houston or Atlanta, or the smaller ones like Charleston or Savannah?<br /><br />I can do both, too. Crocheting is faster and easier for me and I can fix the mistakes without having to rip it all apart. What makes crocheting your preference? What is your favorite thing to crochet?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Knitting and crocheting would have to be my rainy day activities. :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

How blessed you are to live where you do. :) Why don't they want to be there in the winter? Is it because of snow and cold weather? Winter is my favorite season and we don't really get one here on the Texas Gulf Coast. Where you're at sounds just about like Heaven to me!<br /><br />Too funny! Three stitches a week. :) How long have you been knitting? I don't think that I will ever be a super fast knitter, or even a mildly fast one, but I would love to be. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

It sounds like an exciting adventure and one that will definitely involve snow at some point. :)<br /><br />Yes, it was a very sad story and I have read so many sad ones over the last few weeks. I have read many where the husband has flipped out and killed the wife and kids. In one case, the man killed his mother-in-law and his wife and then the wife's brother killed him back. This brother-in-law was 19 and I think it was considered self-defense. He didn't have to go to jail, thankfully. The thing about this that annoyed me to no end was their obituary. The husband that killed his wife and MIL got top billing in the obituary. All of his stuff and folks were listed first, then the wife and then the MIL. I think he should have had a separate one entirely and the women shouldn't have been treated as afterthoughts. It was just a bad thing all around. I don't remember what set him off, but I understand entirely the 19 year old's response to it. The husband had intended to go to reload his gun and kill the other folks, too. He had told them so before the boy shot him. Times were supposedly more calm and civil back then, but these newspaper articles do not support that thought at all. There's lots of very sad reading in them.<br /><br />Thank you, Annie, for co-hosting the fill-ins with Ellen and for stopping by here to comment.

I enjoy them very much, especially those, like this one, that really challenge me to think. <br /><br />AfterCapture isn't so much a photography magazine as it is a magazine with tutorials of things to do to the photos in the editing stages. It was an AfterCapture tutorial that I used to create a pastel image from a photo of a great tree in a state park here. Once I find the link to that post, I'll add it to this post. <br /><br />Thank you for the suggestion of Ravelry.com. It is a great site! I have gotten free patterns there and have bought a few patterns through them as well. What is your favorite pattern that you have gotten through them?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

We have even thought about turning our home into a B&B for people who'd like to get away from it all, sit on the front porch and gaze at beautiful scenery...but I think it's actually *too* quiet out here for most people and besides, no one wants to be here in January, February, and March.
