Speaking of Solstice (a poem)
Q
Comments (11)
Loved it. It was a strange spring for all. We fried in heat or drowned in rain. I was celebrating the soltice today and wondering what summer would bring. I cannot complain about spring.........our property looks like a tropical rainforest and the mornings and evenings are ethereal in the mist. But, having gardened all my life, I'm having to just play it by ear this year as it seems like Earth Mother just threw out the rule book. ;-)

Home Owners Insurance - Are we being lied to?
Q
Comments (9)
A co worker had something similar happen to her, but in her case it was the insurance for their church. After having insurance with this company for a number of years, all of a sudden they got a cancellation notice because they were too close to a gas station. Same kind of deal, imminent cancellation. She called around to other insurance companies and found out that her current insurance company had to give them a certain amount of time (30, 60 days? not sure exactly) to find coverage before they could cancel them. So they shopped around and got another policy. Cost them more $ unfortunately, but they got coverage. So start calling some other companies and find out your options, They agreed to cover you now all of sudden they won't? They may have to cover you for a minium amount of time before cancellation, since you must have had coverage with them for your mortgage. Abbey

A Favorite Christmas Memory
Q
Comments (8)
I guess I was about three years old when someone came to the door. It was Santa bearing gifts for us. I remember peeking through the spindles of the staircase in awe. My father kept asking the jolly old man who he was and I kept saying Santa. The story goes that my dad chased him through back yards and over fences trying to find out who it was. LOL I still remember the wicker stroller and little baby doll he brought me. Shirley, your story about the jungle bells reminds me how I would walk down the hall after the kids were in bed for a while and maybe even asleep and I would jingle some bells up and down the hall. I still have the bells, in fact they are now hanging on my back door and Georgy jingles them when she wants to go out. LOL
