ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
Gas was about $2.14 a few days ago in Illinois. Life without electricity is something we rarely think of, but probably should more often. I haven’t used an iron in decades.
How much we take for granted in this great country of ours. In God We Trust.
I am quite happy with our energy the way it is. You really got my attention with this one.
Blessings.
Thank you, Michael, for the comment. What is it they say? You don’t miss the water til the well runs dry. Same thing for electricity. In God We Trust.
What an interesting thing to do! I’m going to do a quick count tonight and report back to you. I really wonder what my count will be!
I do too. Let me know. Don’t forget the makeup mirror and the electric toothbrush. Lots of stuff. In God We Trust. My motto today, for sure!
I didn’t count the various wall outlets I plug stuff into, but apart from that, my count is –36!
Very interesting.
Whoops! Make that 38. I woke up this morning realizing I forgot to count two lamps that I never use.
There are four people live in my house so that is probably one reason we outdo you so much. Still a lot of things that are unusable without power.
Well, that — and I make a point of going non-electric with a lot of things, like can openers and such, because of power loss with storms.
I didn’t count wall outlets either. Traveling the rout in your head is cool, isn’t it?
Foresight and smart. Have a good day, Linda.
