In Lowell, MA you can’t get by without a proper working heating system. Our winter season comes early and just doesn’t let up for months on end. I ended up owning three separate heating systems. I have a two story house and the heat just can’t get everywhere since I live in an older home. […]

Seeing the Elgin symphony orchestra
My husband was a music major in school. He did singing, flute, trumpet, and theater. He really enjoyed it and at one point in his life thought he was going to be a music teacher. He then changed courses and went into finances. It suits him better but he still has a soft spot for […]
Traveling to Fort Worth for a wedding
A friend of mine from college moved back home to Texas. It was sad since I knew I wouldn’t be able to travel to Texas a lot. I live clear across the country and I didn’t have a ton of money for travel. The two of us kept in touch though. We skyped, called, and […]

Hockey in the south
During the playoff season it isn’t hard to get tickets either. My kids are starting to get into hockey. In Florida it isn’t really the sport that kids do. The weather is hot basically all year around. So not many kids are thinking about winter sports. They really should though. Florida has two professional hockey […]

Moving to where there is at least a brief cold season
