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?

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!

5. Come visit me.
6. You can't unless you are way smarter than me.
7. Tell everyone to go barefoot.

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.

I Hate Mending

There! That makes me feel better! I... ...detest ...abhor ...despise mending. I'm sure those of you who are virtuous mothers are shaking their heads and wondering what is the matter with me. I don't know where I missed it, but the pile of mending in my sewing center makes me cringe with hatred. Why do I wait until all of Allison's dresses are missing a button before I finally, grudgingly get out my needle and thread? Why does a dress hang for two years in my closet with chopped off sleeves that are only waiting for one seam? Why do John's Sunday pants lay over my bedroom chair for weeks before I finally get around to sewing the loophole back on? I've always hated repairing clothes. When I learned to sew and sewed my sleeve in upside down, I would have rather started all over than to tear out the one little seam. Mending is such a tedious chore. But today, when I finally got around to sewing on six buttons on six dresses, sewing up a hole in the back of another, and...

But a few times in my life I have been totally surprised and this year was one of them. We three American ladies got together on Friday for our annual "candy and cookie" day when we make American goodies to give as gifts to our friends here. I thought it a bit strange that everyone was wishing me a cheerful "Happy Birthday" first thing in the morning when I arrived at my friends house. What are they thinking? It's a day early! Oh, well, I thought, they just don't want to forget this year. But I was secretly thinking about the night out that my husband had planned for the two of us the follwing evening. (At a romantic Italian restaurant in Warsaw, at that!) And I thought about the brunch that my oldest son promised to make on my special day. (Imagine that he is old enough to give me such a gift!) The morning passed and at time...
