Top Ten Questions

Ten questions waiting to be answered:

  1. How should we celebrate Valentine's Day this year or should we just skip it?
  2. How can I get my house organized without any effort?
  3. Should I prepare a book proposal and send it to an editor?
  4. Should we buy property in Poland and build or just keep renting this cold house?
  5. Where should we go for summer vacation (or maybe we should just stay home)?
  6. How do you keep your children well and entertained all winter with limited indoor space and with only a postage stamp sized property?
  7. What do you do when you have 6 pairs of boots and 6 pairs of shoes by the front door and there are only room for 3?
  8. What do you do with soaked snowsuits, wet gloves, and stinky socks that come in from the outside?
  9. What do you do when your daughter is reading your blog over your shoulder?
  10. How can I get my family to come visit me next year?

When I lived in the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho, we installed a ski rack on the entry wall. We installed 1.5"X3" dowels at intervals. We installed vinyl floorcovering on the wall to protect it, and we hung up all of our boots, gloves, scarves, etc. They got dry, didn't take up any floorspace and they were handy going out or coming in. If you don't have much width, you could still stagger the dowels up and down the wall. Hope this helps with one of your questions. I can't help you with the stinky socks!

1. Celebrate...doesn't have to be lavish
2. I don't know but when you figure it out send it my way.
3. Sure, you are a good writer
4. Keep renting so Poland doesn't seem so permanent to me. =)
5. Come visit me.
6. You can't unless you are way smarter than me.
7. Tell everyone to go barefoot.
8. Throw them in the dryer you don't have.
9. Don't let her know how irritating that is. Just love her anyway.
10. Send us $5,000.
Love you! Esther

You're absolutely right, Lez. I couldn't think of any fresh inspiration. Esther moved to Xanga. You can try this link http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Esther_lynn . Hope it works. Thanks all for your suggestions. I'll have to try some of them.
