What do moms do best? The answer to that is easy, "just about everything". Mom is the hub that the family revolves around; she is the driving force behind the moral, ethical and spiritual direction of the family. When I look back on my own life, I see a strong grandmother, mother and three daughters who were without a doubt, the power point in the lives of the family. I dedicated one of my books, (In Search Of Paradise) to my own mom who shaped just about everything I am today. My father gave me the particulars, but my mom gave me the world. We look to our mother for advice, counseling, support, acceptance, recognition and that all important factor, love. She is always ready to fill in were we have a need and puts us back on track when...

http://youtu.be/e-ivZxGsPes This is a link on precision tree cutting which had to be placed between two newly planted trees, miss a wife and a barn. Perfect shot.

http://gomestic.com/do-it-yourself/make-your-own-coffee-table/ The article above demonstrates how I save the material from wind damaged trees and build something good from it. I have salvaged over 1,000 trees in the last eight years. I have to admit, not every tree will be worth $1,600 because of the way the wind blows it down splitting it or cracking it badly and not all trees are suitable for the projects shown in the link above. For eco conscientious  people this is a pleasant way to use your hobby time with a very small outlay of tools. All of my tools were bought on sale and one or two projects paid for my entire shop.

Several years ago, I wrote a book for my children. this is but one out of hundreds. Beyond our genetic limitations, we may have a lot of say so over our aging process. This process started long before we were born and, physically, will terminate about the same time we do. However, what happens during the time between your birth and demise may have a lot to do with how long you live. There are many who espouse the principal of exercise, hard work, etc, and then we have those who depend on a good and steady diet of healthy foods. Is this enough? Is this necessary, or is something missing? What if, and I only suggest, what if, it is our outlook, attitude and relationships that give us the greatest strength in a long and very happy li...

We should never discard our vegetation waste as it is plant food for the coming growing season. Compost Your Chickens, I have written several articles on how to preserve natural  ingredients necessary to our own survival and lately I have been thinking of ways to redouble our efforts in this area. I have long been a creator of wooden furniture out of dead and fallen trees, as a matter of fact many of my own furnishings were added to my home by this manner. I also find useless bodies of water on or near my place to stock fish which I don't eat, but allow a variety of species to clean up these areas for me. When I cut down a tree, I will use the useful wood for furniture, the small pieces are cut up for the neighboring fireplaces an...

It is not uncommon to ask questions with very elusive answers, we all do it. Such as: Who am I in regard to infinity? What is my purpose? Why am I here? Have I been here before? Are we alone in the universe? And many more, you have heard a  lot of this and there are no real answers, except what each individual is willing to accept, should an answer be forthcoming. Having said that, it is my advice when you come across anyone who claims to know the answer to one of these questions or all, then you most likely should turn and be gone from that person. I know nothing, but I have lots of answers, these may not be correct or may be correct only at the moment. Let me ask you a question. Which is the perfect religion? Again, every individual wh...
