Very cute books...In fact when my husband was getting paid once a month, I used many of their "ways" to make due between paychecks...I started thinking I might have been born in the wrong century! haha!<br />We went upstate to Almaonzo's family farm one year on vacation..Now THEY get winter! ..it's way up by the Canadian border. Wonderful..another good one in the series...Farmer Boy. So much of that book reminded me of things our great grandmother told us about. Her family had a big farm in NYS ..not sure how far up. Her house was in East Elmhurst, (Butler Street off Ditmars BLVD) and I don't know if the house was part of the family farm, or if the farm was were farther up...lots of memories there.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515546561005689944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828660412315552589.post-90962206061310580472011-01-23T17:10:51.110-08:002011-01-23T17:10:51.110-08:00Janie my feet are still cold from being out shovel...Janie my feet are still cold from being out shoveling the last snow! I also have cabin fever but I'm reading a good book ("The Help") which helps makes the time pass. <br /><br />I loved all the Laura Ingalls books! I remember how they ran out of firewood in a blizzard in The Long Winter book and where burning their chairs to stay warm.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828660412315552589.post-86402237290185239952011-01-22T18:02:48.561-08:002011-01-22T18:02:48.561-08:00Janie

And they said it if hits us Wed, it is going to be BIG! I am so tired of shoveling!<br />It feels like the winter should be over and it is only 3/4 of January! (and 1/3 of the winter!) El Nina!<br />They are comparing the pattern to 1888...did you read The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls) with your kids yet? We did that in '76(??) or 8?). Another year they also compared it to that pattern...<br />We read those books over and over for the history..great books...Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515546561005689944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828660412315552589.post-49875722964101143282011-01-21T08:55:31.592-08:002011-01-21T08:55:31.592-08:00I'm getting cabin fever too... but it is too c...I'm getting cabin fever too... but it is too cold to go out!
