  1. Although I love and have all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books I would have to pick "Little House In The Big Woods" as my favorite. Even when I was young the self reliance and family life was an enticing vision. The way she describes how they lived and survived made me yearn to do the same. I remember one store when I was growing up in the 60's where they had home made soap balls, real beef jerkey, and rabbit pelts. Needless to say that this was my all time favorite store and I just recently had to throw away one of the pelts. I want to make the maple syrup on snow and go places in a horse drawn wagon or sleigh. To live "off the grid" is my idea of heaven. Although I do live in the country, I still would like to have my little log cabin in the woods. Until then I will just settle for listening to the wind howl during the winter and snuggling under the quilt I made.

  2. When I was growing up the day after Thanksgiving (before it was called Black Friday) we would go Christmas shopping and Dad would stay home to do the lights and tree. It never failed that we would come home to the faint smell of electrical smoke, at least one fuse blown, and various burn marks on the carpet from Dad testing the lights. Unfortunately (maybe not) I have not been able to recreate this tradition since Dad passed! Too bad they don't have an air freshener or candle in burnt wiring! ;)

  3. Thank you for your response. This was also my first really serious attempt at a FTF. I did receive a nice email from the cache owner stating that they placed it 15 minutes after I left, but I now have no desire to go back for the find. Thanks again.

  4. What is peoples opinion on this one. Would you log it as a DNF if you went to a newly posted cache. looked for over an hour only to discover even though it had been posted the cache hadn't been placed yet?
