Mine is wood and my hubby is a big hunter so my fires will be very limited until January - although the older he gets the more he likes the fire too LOL. It is nice to use to delay turning on the furnace long too.

We have gas logs too - but have not used them yet. It is still around 80 here.

I then went to the library and requested the sequels which they obtained on interlibrary loan: At Home on Ladybug Farm, Love Letters from Ladybug Farm, and Christmas on Ladybug Farm. I am still waiting for the Christmas one but read the others and thoroughly enjoyed them. I also read a great dog/puppy training book by Donna Ball called Ten things your puppy needs to know to be a great dog. I love reading and being a retiree means plenty of time for that. I am thankful. Have a wonderful week!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-91874136985355429532012-09-20T09:56:56.895-04:002012-09-20T09:56:56.895-04:00Sounds like you and your daughter are good travel ...Sounds like you and your daughter are good travel buddies.

Thx for the recipe. Glad you and your daughter had a safe trip and the 2nd book you mentioned sounds like something I would really enjoy reading. I, too, love a fire in the fireplace but have not yet had one this season. Still a little too warm here in GA! Have a nice day.
