I should try yours- mine makes my face feel kinda oily by the end of the day. And with hormone-tastrophe going on right now, I'm breaking out enough as it is... so I switched back to miniscule drops of miracle Clinique (which is way too expensive for me). <br /><br />I loved all the Little House books growing up- I always wanted to be a pioneer! I have turkeys pooping on my porch, so that's close, right?

The foreshadowing in the early chapters, the green pumpkins, the Indians with their warnings about the beaver dams, so well done. A fb friend has been reading Long Winter to her kids and for months now she has been claiming this is the 23 years winter, what with that blizzard that killed a lot of cattle out west this fall.
