Melena I live in the middle of the woods literally. I love my trees. They protect us from the storms and are amazing to look at. My favorite is a 100 year old oak that sits in the middle of my driveway!

I have loved sending and receiving greetings cards. I bought them once a year, filled them out, and mailed them early enough that they arrived for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and Christmas. But I am not going to do that...

Melena Do something nice for yourself. It's sad that others do not have gratitude for your kind heart. I love getting a card or letter from someone.....it makes it so much more personnel than anything else. Their loss and your gain.

Reading Newspapers Online Now

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 28 Nov 15

When it comes to reading books, I will always prefer a printed one to a digital version. But as far as newspapers go, to me it is totally different. I much prefer to read the papers online. I find it a lot easier on the eyes and...

Stuffed Squash

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160611) • United States 16 Nov 15

Mom would occasionally cut an acorn squash in half, and fill it with butter and brown sugar. I did not like it until I was an adult. I went further. I would fill the cavity with diced apples, and dried raisins and cranberries,...
