Happy Saturday

Good Saturday Morning Friends,

Just Stopped by to Swap Howdies !!

Hope all is well in your little corner.

We are finally getting the snow I have been

hoping and praying for. 

I Love the way it looks, so Fresh & Clean.

It is also our source of income at this

time of the year,

so we are Very Happy Campers.

We are only expected to get five inches

and a warming trend tomorrow so I don't think it

will last long ..... we will take it and be Glad.

Not sure where I was or what I was doing in

1994 -1995  ................

Oh yeah I  was a wife, a Mother raising her boys,

keeper of  the Cabin and I was working part-time. lol

Anyway  I was unaware of the Christy series

enjoyed by many on TV. 

I went to the Library last week looking

for a few books to help pass the long January days.

I happened to walk by the movies,

and the cover photo caught my eye ....

the description on the back sold me.

This gentle and heartfelt drama was wholesome and

substantive television for families.

Based on the cherished book by Catherine Marshall detailing her

  mother's time in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains in 1912,

it is the story of a young and exuberant city girl who comes to teach

 in poverty-stricken Cutter Gap and the

manner in which it changed her life forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The complete series comes in a

four disk double sided DVD pack. 

It has provided us with hours of great period TV watching.

I never look at the movies at the Library,

(I will now)... so this to me was meant to be.  :-)

This snowy Saturday is a perfect day to

finish up our last disk .... although I really

hate to see it  end. 

If you are like me and missed this series ....  I

highly recommend it. It is also listed on netflix

but they are on individual disks so the library

is your best bet for the whole series. 
If any of you have suggestions for
other great movies or series I'd love to hear them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Luck to my NY Giants tomorrow

we will be around the TV ... biting our

nails and cheering them on once again.

Wishing you all a Safe, Warm & Cozy Week-End

"Change Your Seat"

"Change Your Seat" ~~ Gary Trabucco  ~~
The American Heritage Shop

This is the Season where we spend lots of time in our homes.

We here in the North East have been dealing with

extreme cold, record snow and some ice. 

This has limited my outings .. even some  

ventures to walk out in the yard or into the woods.

In some cases it can bring forth

the  "Dreaded Cabin Fever" earlier than usual.  

I'm not experiencing cabin fever yet.  

I love being home, its warm, its cozy I have a supply

 of good books and projects and I can always find  

some thing to putter with.
It's also a great time of year to catch up with
friends & family by phone, letter or computer.

My problem is that I center on the few things I'm

not thrilled about in the cabin ..... these are things  

I cant change ... due to hubby's needs & likes or

they are structural, or cost prohibited. 

Either way they are here to stay.

.

I find when I'm home this much, I start to obsess about

 these things and I'm not a happy camper.   

A wise man once said ......

" Change your Seat"

I remember it like it was yesterday .... I remember laughing

like what the heck will that do ..... but over the years as

simple as it sounds I find it works. 

If you sit in the same seat each day as most of

us do ... you have the same view.

I have my spot in each and every room in the cabin. 

I also have my spot in each 

and every friend & relatives home. 

Come on .....  you probably all do ....   Right  ??  
It cant just be me ........... Could it ??     :-) 

Well anyways when you change your seat .... you get a whole

different view and perspective of your room.  

 And sometimes you are pleasantly surprised by what you see. 

At any rate it  stops you from staring at the

thing or things  that are bugging you.

In most of my room, the furniture really cant be moved

but I can  choose to sit somewhere different, and I do.

Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds,

can change the outer aspects of their lives.

~~ William James (1842-1910)

So till I can make a few road trips .... get back out to

the shop .... or the weather

permits me to sit on the porch, or deck or check

out the yard ..... my plan is the keep changing my seat.

Thanks Gary ..... for this and other sage 

pieces of advice  you given me over the years.

These  photos are some of  my different views ~~

I hope where ever you Sit .... you love your View.
