In this life I’m a woman. In my next life, I’d like to come back as a bear. When you’re a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you’re supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.

Yup, gonna be a bear!

The Latimer Quilt House is located just outside Tillamook, Oregon. Housed in the restored 1930′s Maple Leaf schoolhouse, the center is both museum and living arts center.

Part of the house is used to show off regional exhibits and touring exhibits. The rest of the house us used for local crafters to work on projects and take classes. Of the several rooms, the quilting room has quilts and quilted projects hung on the walls and project tables filled with works in progress. The fiber arts room is filled with looms, tables and projects. The auditorium has quilts hung on the walls plus showcases with exhibits.

The house is open year round; daily in the summer, 5 days per week from October through April. They offer special events on holidays, a wide variety of classes, a gift shop and a library full of books on fiber arts, many collectibles and available for use on site.

So you’re still wondering about those UFO’s? Un Finished Objects! Every Saturday, come and join others while they work on un finished craft objects.

This may seem like the absolute wrong time to consider air conditioning, but in reality the timing is just right. The costs are down, way low, right now. Installation is quick and since it is an off time for heating or air conditioning, the quality will be better as they can take their time.

So what to buy, the choices are endless. I could buy a used unit. I found some on e-bay that had hardly been used before a complete remodel. I did find a website that compares older to new units. Go to All Year Cooling and Heating of Florida , enter than click on the yellow table.

My house is 2,000 square feet, but we would probably only need the air conditioner for about 50 days per year, so the actual cost would be minimal. So now I need to decide whether the cost of the unit would be worth it. I do have nice windows and doors to open. I is it worth it to you?

My son-in-law has been looking for a job for many months now without much success. So I went in search of suggestions, focusing on recession proof jobs. I found many websites that offered their opinions on jobs that would get you through the current recession. Unfortunately, each site had very different opinions.

Some of the suggestions came as a surprise considering what I’m reading in the newpapers such as education and construction. Big on all the lists were computer related jobs and healthcare jobs. Auto repair came up twice as well as entertainment and energy. Also listed were agriculture, engineering, international business, environment, law enforcement and finance. A good article on the subject can be found at Satisfying Career – Happier Life.

If you are not currently working, it doesn’t hurt to try out some volunteer jobs. This will give you the opportunity to check out some different fields of work. Also be sure to check out temporary employment agencies. You won’t know if you don’t like it until you’ve tried it. Finally, don’t be afraid to do part time jobs. A couple of part time jobs will bring in the money and offer you some variety. And could lead to a full time position.
