The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in
which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

The following entry is a bit different than my usual, but I think it is very fitting, nonetheless. It is the BIO Page of Ana White. I was very impressed by her bio; the way that she and her Husband have chosen to live is great. Self reliance, and living within your means. They are good examples of how to make it work...
I am a mother and homemaker from Alaska. This is my daughter Grace. We are working on the Momplex, a duplex we are DIYing for my mother and mother-in-law in Alaska!
I like to build things, especially things made of wood. As a
child, my idea of fun was salvaging old boards, pounding the nails out,
and building forts in the woods of Alaska. In college and beyond, I
spent my Friday nights painting furniture I found just about anywhere.
Always too afraid of power tools, I constantly would think, I could
make that, if someone would cut the boards for me. So it's
no surprise that I married the first man that was building something on
our first date. You know him as the Ram (short for Real Alaska Man).
When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, we were living in
the garage, saving to build a house. I drew up a plan on graph paper
and we started building. My husband broke his ribs framing the house, I
got over my power tool phobia, and my daughter learned to crawl on a
cold garage floor because there is only so much one family can do in a
short Alaska summer, building paycheck to paycheck.
