One Room Schools and Pot Belly Stoves
Can you believe that I went to school in a one-room school house with a big old Pot Belly Stove in the center of the room? It was the boys’ job to bring in wood periodically for the teacher to keep the fire stoked and the heat pouring into the room. If you sat next to that monster, you almost cooked from its heat, but if you had the misfortune of being on the outside row, you nearly froze on very cold days. I had turns at both and definitely preferred being too warm to being too cold. Those were the days, and the memories still warm me today.

Noticed Something While Doing A Deck Stain Job
Last week I was putting deck stain on my deck when I saw a few bugs. It was very early in the morning and I started to notice a few more after a while of staining. They were very big and now they are eating a lot of our flowers and things. I thought maybe the deck stain would repel them, but they do not seem to care about the smell at all. I have heard that this has been a recent problem for many people and that they are worried for their gardens. I have to say that I have not been worried so much.

Having A Place To Go
When I started to look for a vacation home, I immediately thought of Thailand. I had visited there once and had loved it so much that finding Thailand property there was like a dream come true. I started looking into the Thailand real estate companies and I found one that was great without having to look very hard. I now have my own Thailand villas and I love it! I look forward to going every year and I am so excited for my next trip. Having a place like Thailand where I can escape to when I really need to is a great help to me.

Secure and Beautiful
I recently learned that those decorative bars and designs on screen doors are actually Security Screen Doors. I love that you can open a door and have a way to keep the bugs out and not worry about someone just walking into your home. They are also wonderful for keeping the toddler in the house since the doors have a lock so the child can try the knob all they want and they won’t be going anywhere. I also really like that the bars keep the kids from breaking through the screen too easily. There are new varieties out all the time making it easy to find just the right design to enhance the look of your home.

Cabinet Knobs To Look Better
I have seen the cabinet of my dreams in one antique shop. It was truly something that I love so much and I never ever want to let it go. I am sure that things will be so much better if I make sure that I will get it. And sure I did. There is only one problem though, the Cabinet knobs are broken. I am really thinking that it is better to have the Cabinet Knobs removed and never replace them since the beauty of the cabinet might be altered. However, I was lucky enough to have found Cabinet Knobs that would truly fit it.
