I was looking for new idea for valentines boxes..thanks! I found your ideas awesome. Wanted to share other ideas that we have done in the past with you….We asked our local pizza shop for a clean pizza box. Decorated the top with a pizza of course, made of foil on bottom and pizza made with pepperoni (hearts) The kids simply lifted the lid and put their cards inside. One year we used a 2 liter pop bottle and made a “sweet cola” cut off the top and 1,2,3…we had a simple container to fit cards. Hope you have a happy one!!

Minding my own business, living in the moment, feeling a great contentedness and looking for a salt rub for turkey on this Thanksgiving Eve… and I hit your website. I read your ‘where I’m from’ and it feels spiritual. Thanks for the unexpected trip down your path. Love to you and your family and thanks for the salt rub instructions.

I decided that today was the day I was to find out how to get rid of pantry moths and fell into your not trap blog and liked it alot. Thanks for being there and helping put these critters out of our lives’ forever. We have a big country kitchen and the screens are missing out of the door and we get in only an occasional wasp and or lightning bug. Nobody bothers from either camp and are fairly copasetic. Except for these moths. Your encounter paraells mine and it is good to know about how those larvae wait till the coast is clear. That makes sense. Your description of DE sounds identically to our pool DE and you comment that it isn’t the same. How is it different? I was hoping just to use that if possible. I enjoy reading your stuff. Keep it up. Thanks Richard

Hi Suzie
I stumbled on to your website whilst searching for ideas for my “Fathers” speech at my daughters Engagement party tomorrow (she’s the youngest and engaged to an eldest). I was/am enchanted with the personable style of your writing and the clarity and rich colour of your expression of your memories. My life in Australia has many similarities and (as I reflect now) richness. We forget the building blocks and foundations with the tyranny of the urgent and the muddiness of the moment. But your writing made me realise it is all still there. Enjoy, grow and build but never lose your freshness and clarity. I thank you for this accidental intersection, it has made my day. May you continue to add something to others as you have in a small way today for me.

Hi Suzie,
I am wondering how much D/Earth to buy at once. We have a small kitchen. How much space does the powder cover, does it kill roaches too? We live in an apartment building. We are wondering how much to buy at first, do we need the 1lb, 3lb, 10lb?? Thank you for your suggestion!

Dear Susie,

I just read about where you’re from. Funny, that’s where I’m from too.

Trying out your home remedies for chest and head cold sans antibiotics tonight. It sounds familiar as I too was raise in house that maybe saw an asprin on rare occasion, but that was it. My Mom and Dad were old school home remedy Doctors of high regard. Married during the 30′s, they knew the value of making do with what-ya-got. Kept me and my three sisters and brother well our whole life and we’re all still tickin… Sounds like the kind of house you run “where your from”…

Thanks for the smiles and home remedy,

A New Fan

P.S. My brother and I were geniuses when it came to making “crafts of mass destruction” when we were young. I don’t think you’d approve of some of them so I’ll spare the details. But, you certainly know the mind of a young boy. I’d say those are lucky lads you’re raising.
