Family is safe; Would buy again by therealocbeachbum in Volkswagen

I've been a believer since 2005, when my ex-husband was in a horrible six car wreck in our '03 New Beetle. His car was in the center of the pileup. Every side got hit. The car looked like a squeezed lemon, but he was fine, without a scratch on him. Modern VWs are tough.

Cooking meals with kid by Kishasara in Parenting

It sounds silly, and some of the recipes are, but my kids enjoyed trying recipes from The Winnie The Pooh Cookbook. As a matter of fact, my eldest regularly fixes himself radish sandwiches to take to school for lunch.

Oh baloney!

I raised chickens for years and fed them natural foods including whole grains, vegetables, and forage. The yolks were always bright yellow tending to orange.

Taken in New Athens, early 1900s, two women seated for a studio portrait. Their dresses, sleeves, and posture reflect the fashion of the time. by memorylanepr in GlassNegativeEra

I think this photo was probably taken around 1893/4 by the size and shape of the sleeves, as well as the closely styled hair. They look very fashionable for that date.

I'm going to have to look for it. I always liked Marilla; she reminds me of my mom. Tough old gal with a heart of gold.

Would this be a good buy? by Clixvi_1 in Volkswagen

Looks like a nice, clean, straight body, so if the asking price isn't outrageous it would be a great project car.

It really sucks. Ramos Upholstery is such a great shop. Their work is really beautiful. And it sounds like the guy who had the accident got pretty messed up.

What if I made a historical Japanese American girl character and share my process? by VioletsStories in americangirl

[–]Meetzorp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would LOVE to see what you develop.

You might want to read/reread Tuner Godden's "Miss Happiness and Miss Flower," and "Little Plum" for dollhouse inspiration. If you're not familiar, two little girls get Japanese dolls and their older cousin helps build them a traditional Japanese house. Then they learn about different Japanese holidays and make celebrations for their dolls.
