Don't smoke or drink either. And there's no question that desert is a major food group! :)) I use Olivia Care Olive Oil Soap on my face and in the shower - love the Verbena scent and all those suds! In the winter I don't need moisturizer. I buy it at TJMaxx. For 20 years I've used a Buff Puff on my face. For facial moisturer Jergens Skin Firming Lotion. I've used several others that I really liked, and every time I ran out and went to buy more, they were discontinued or had added obnoxious fragrance. How exasperating! I don't like the strong fragrance in the heavier duty "regenerating" lotions. I find that smiling works best on the Howdy Doody lines - hate those things! Can't bring myself to lay out $20 for a tiny little jar so I guess this is it. Sherry

I haven't cut any bindings for some time now; too many UFOs/WIPs. Right now I've got 'em stacked 4 quilts thick on my design wall. But I DID finish one this year a crib-size art quilt, had cut the binding a while back. 'Til recently, I used very high-loft, thick poly batts, I didn't know better & I liked the more "poufy" look. Also I haven't made bed quilts, all just art quilts that I use as wall hangings. All that said, I tend to cut 3" bindings & fold them in half, so they're double for strength. I'd guess, my earlier ones ended up as being about 1/2" on each, front & back. Mine are all cut on the straight grain, I have neither the patience nor need for bias cut bindings. Lately I must be cutting a bit narrower as my binding are finishing more a 1/4" each front & back, but I still underfold them on the back by about a 1/4" & 'cause I'm self-taught, I hem stitch them. I need to learn this less visible applique-type stitch I see other quilters seem to use on tacking down the back of their bindings. Something in me is just not OK about using pre-made, purchased bias tape bindings.

I had a Franklin cast iron wood burning stove, for years, and loved it. Then DH built a firebox around it, and filled with pebbles. That was when I was married, and had free firewood from DH's family country home in the woods. We would add coal to it at nite, before heading to bed, and cover the coal with ashes. Evening times, we poked the coal embers to make the ashes drop, and add wood to restart the fire. Loved it. But after divorce, wood was expensive too buy. We had a blizzard in 93, got sick of the wood and the mess. Sold it for a good price, and had standing Vermont cast iron gas logs heater put in. Now where I live, I have a fireplace, but only use it for Christmas, as it cuts off my thermostat and the back rooms get really cold. My son loves it when I have a fire, cause he grew up with awood burning fireplace stove. I use those environmental fire logs when I do have a fire.

From what I remember of the movie there was a forest on top of a hill. There was an open field on a slope down to a farm house. The woods were evenly spaced rows of pines, as in an 8 foot spacing. Seems to me you need private ownership to get mixed use. If you're going to have live ammo and create craters in the ground, you must have privately owned land. I'd suggest you look at North Carolina for evenly spaced pine forests, but there's no snow. I'm thinking of around Cherry Hill Marine Air Station. For hardwood forests that are not evenly spaced; look at the Allegheny National Forest, in the Clarion, Tionesta, Pa area. You'll get snow there. Most of Appalachia, in NY, PA, WV, MD have forests everywhere. Did someone say north western NJ; at the Delaware River Gap. I recently owned land near Pittsburgh where you might have shot your scenes if you wanted hardwoods, so I'd say anywhere from there to Harrisburg Pa. and North to Maine. Speaking of the Air Station, a military installation may already have the craters you need, Possibly with a hoe you could make one look like a fresh crater. There was a Naval Air bombing range near the Piney Barrens in NJ, Warren Grove NJ, I think it was. But that was 50 years ago? Is it still there?? edit Pine Grove NJ to Warren Grove NJ The pines were mostly scrub pines which at this bombing range burned from time to time.
