The Woodlands is an okay area. It's become commercialized, materialistic and over crowded; however, it is in Houston and is therefore not a great place to have a decent quality of life. Sure, you can have a huge house for cheap, cheap, cheap but you can only stand to be outside for a few months of the year.

We do love the Expat life except not having our dog with us and travelling between 3 countries. In January I was on 4 continents in a 3 week period....whew, I was pooped. It will be much better when we soon get settled in one spot (and relocating the pup) and I just have to travel for meetings once a month.
Don't have much time to list places tonight but in a nutshell...we've been to 37 of 50 states; only 2 Canadian province; 37 countries in Europe, Central America, South America, Caribbean, Africa, and Asia. My number one goal in life is to visit each state, CA province and continent. Australia and Antarctica remain and a lot of Canada....that will be solved with a cross country train trip or long road trip in a RV.
Our next trip this weekend will be to Kerala. Our wonderful driver in Mumbai is from the area and will be our tour guide. We'll have the honor of staying with his parents one night!! I'm looking at houseboats for several nights and an overnight in one of the wildlife parks...have to see a Bengal tiger and sloth! Saw a sloth in Costa Rica one time and they are my favorite!!!!!!
By the end of April we hope to do a Delhi to Taj Mahal to Jaipur to Katmandu trip. I read about a Mt Everest flight seeing trip and I'm determined to do it! Can you just imagine? We flew over Denali at sunset one time while heading to Nome AK and it was simply stunning.
Anyways, I'm rambling now. Any hints about the Taj and Jaipur would be great! Back to work to pay for these trips 
I garden, but not veggies---I'm into ornamentals. Last fall I started a new bed and planeted about 300 spring-flowering bulbs. This spring, I'm interplanting those with perennials and ground covers.
I do a LOT of gardening sitting flat on the ground. (Weeding, planting, etc.) I started doing this probably 20 years ago, when my weight and my arthritis starting really giving me trouble. Although losing 170 pounds has really helped, my knees still don't want me to do much bending over. It's easier for me to gt down on the ground, scoot around and do whatever, then get back up ONCE than to spend more than 2-3 minutes bending at the waist.

Maybe she meant it's weird to see that here on Obesity Help as courteous two sided conversations are possibly weird to her. Who knows :)
I do! If you go to my profile you can check out my greenhouse pictures. It's a little outdated, now the cabbage, brocolli, and squash are developed and ready for harvest too!
I have had friends that have gone and loved it. Never gone myself tho because my husband would never go for it.

That's awesome! Me, too. My parents were veggie farmers that sold at farmers markets, a roadside stand, and to the local grocery store. It's in my blood.
I can and freeze as well. I learned how to do everything from my mom & dad (mostly my mom, lol) but my dad is the authority on making the mustard, horseradish, and sauerkraut. My mom did the veggies, pickles, and preserves.
I make all my own canned tomatoes, fruit preserves, pickles, and apple sauce. I also freeze a lot of different veggies. I wish I lived closer to family to do this together, but we do bond over the mutual love of doing it. I get my apples from my grandparents trees, the raspberries from my mom, and we exchange jars (we all have our own favorite recipes). It is a really great way to know what is in your food besides tasting WAY better. The difference between commercially canned tomatoes & my own is huge. It's almost like eating two different things. Oh, and you can't forget about how much money one can save by doing this. I haven't bought canned tomatoes, preserves, pickled veggies, apple sauce, or frozen veggies in a long time.
Yes yes yes and more yes! Also quite surprised by the fact that Shae was sent to Pentos? What's up with that? Since I'm a book person... Not sure how that's going to work out now haha. But can I just say I do NOT like the fact that they changed up who is training Jamie in swordplay? Is that a book spoiler? My husband says I ruin the books for him when I say stuff like that (since he hasn't read them yet...)
