"I've already turned the heat on. This may be evidence that I'm only an adopted New Englander, born in the south. Or possibly it reflects the fact that we're located at the crest of a windy hill, and this past spring my landlords cut down the big tree which provided wind-block in winter and sun-shade in summer. Or possibly that if this house was ever insulated, it fell out of the walls into the basement many decades ago".
I get cold pretty easily but due to that expensive electric heat thing we try and wait until the last possible minute . . . usually sometime in the second week in November :) Sweaters and afghans are my friend when I am at home :) I guess we're lucky too in that are windows aren't as bad as they could be and the house is pretty well insulated (reminder to self - must pick up window sealer kits).
"I'm afraid electric fireplaces scare me, so I can't help there... Good luck!"
It doesn't necessarily need to throw heat, just look and sound like burning logs :) My Nana had one in her house when I was growing up and though cheezy it was always nicer than NO fireplace. My parents have a real one in their house that they burn duraflame logs in throughout the fall and winter - it was one of the things I really miss not living with them (breakfast with my nephew would be another thing).
Once Praline is all healed you'll need to come over and see how she and Flopsy are getting along. . . he just gets more and more active and excited each day :)
