Listen While You Work!


Hello Ladies,

I hope you have a wonderful, glorious day at home getting all those things in order that make home a pleasant and worthwhile place to be!

The sun was sinking fast while I was broadcasting outside and at the very end of this video you can see the traffic lights (its a real traffic jam when there are more than two cars on the road)  on the edge of the land.  I wanted you to see more of my surroundings and the land here in one part of Oregon. Those are the coastal ranges in the background of the photo.

Going to get new boots soon but its hard to let go when they become so worn and comfortable ;-) These have protected my feet indoors and outside.

Here is the post on Cynicism that I spoke of in the video.

Thank you for the cleaning recipe. I'm trying it out today.
Lydia, I am enjoying your videos very much, and I get a lot done while listening!

I just listened to this older talk today. The kids went out go-carting with their dad, and I have about two hours of free time, so I'm cleaning like mad.

I put my old cell phone in my sweater pocket so I could hear you wherever I went in the house!

I really enjoy all the advice you are sharing from the course on conversation. These things are so good to know. When you mentioned how we shouldn't talk about our intense dislikes, I was reminded of a time I was at a wedding shower as a teenager. The bride to be, upon being handed another gift, exclaimed "I hope these aren't yellow towels - I HATE yellow!" The person standing next to me said "I sure hope it ISN'T yellow towels in that box," and I realized how awful it would be if it were, after the bride to be had made such an exclamation. I realized then that making intense statements of dislike like she did, can cause all kinds of social awkwardness and is best avoided entirely.

I quite enjoyed your video! I cleaned my kitchen and started dinner while watching. It's hard to find friends that take homemaking seriously, thank you for encouraging me by talking through some basics in video!
