Margaret Truman dies at 83

Published January 30th, 2008 in News | No Comments »

Margaret Truman has passed away at the age of 83 after a short illness.  Margaret Truman was the only child of former president Harry S. Truman.  She was a mystery writer who penned books such as Murder at the Opera and non-fiction works which included Letters From Father: The Truman Family’s Personal Correspondence.  Margaret was once quoted saying, “The only thing I ever missed about the White House was having a car and driver.”

I am sure she will be greatly missed.  God bless her family.

Staying warm in Louisiana

Published January 30th, 2008 in Home Improvement | No Comments »

The weather is finally starting to warm up in Tampa, thank goodness.  We were in

Louisiana last week and man was it cold.  My Mom kept the house nice and toasty thought with the gas space heaters she has in the house.  She does not have central heat but she has those wall heaters in the living room and down the hall and a space heater in the bathroom so when you go take a bath it is all warm and nice in there.  I was set my towel close to the heater so when I went to dry off my towel was warm, I felt like I was at a spa.  She also has an outdoor kitchen that she has a heater in so you are warm no matter where you go.
