This Baby Boomer is Always Learning

I'm having a lot of fun learning new things this week. For instance, I just learned how to add TwitThis to my blogs, including this Blogger blog. Now, if you read an article you like here or on one of my other blogs, all you have to do is click TwitThis and, voila, it's easily done. Apparently TwitThis has also added an option to let you find new tweeple to follow that I'm also checking out. I'll have to let you know how I like that down the road. :)

Speaking of Twitter, I've been having a great time over there reading and sharing lots of interesting info. A few of my favorite items of interest include:

An interesting About site showing how to make all sorts of miniatures for model train enthusiasts (my husband LOVED his HO and would have loved to find his old O set. Plus he was toying with going smaller, to the N). Those who love miniature dolls and houses will also appreciate this site - Printable Doll House Scale Popcorn Machine and Popcorn Containers using free printables.

One of my kids is hoping to get some country property. If they do, I'm going to send them this site - from @LighterFootstep: A Glorious Gallery of Rot: Compost as Art (Pics). The compost pile is icky or beautiful -- or both! As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation with a grandpa who had a huge garden, I grew up watching my grandfather's compost pile. I am very aware of the beauty and the eww factor of a compost pile. But having seen, up close and deliciously personal, what that compost site can do to a garden, I know it truly is a beautiful thing! :)

I know my fellow members of the Baby Boomer Generation are probably very good friends with vinegar. @thriftylivngmom has some great suggestions for even more good uses for it.

That's it for today. Have a TERRFIC week! :)
