I live down south, where we run the air conditioner nearly all year round. I never need to wear more than a sweatshirt to keep warm. I don’t own a wool coat, knitted hat or heavy boots. I enjoy fresh air and sunshine. My brother lives way up north, where it’s cold and wet most […]

My in-laws have a gas well located on their property. This provides them access to free natural gas. It costs them nothing to heat their home, use the oven and run the hot water heater.

My fiance and I had been planning our wedding for almost a year. We had tentatively put a destination wedding into our plans. The only thing we had to decide was where the destination was going to be. We had considered heading south, but neither of us really wanted to travel that far. We then […]

I know that sometimes you see something that catches your attention. It can be hard to look away, no matter how hard you try. I had always thought that the Northern summer would be just like ours. We lived where it was winter when the Northeast US was in the summer. I expected it to […]

I can’t believe I am saying this, but last year, I had to tell my parents it was time to turn off the heat. It was early June and I walked into the house and walked right back out. I couldn’t believe what had hit me. I could hear the heat going through the water […]
