I'm glad you reported in, tiny-brown-mug, and glad for you to have space heaters. I have one on either side of me right now! Here is a picture of the newest one I picked up this season:

electric space heater

I like the glow it makes, but it does not run long before shutting itself off. Now if we could just keep our electricity going, we can keep the heaters going. But if the power turned off, the Lord will provide what we need, and I have a wood fireplace and lots of wood to burn.

Your idea to simmer water is good! My skin typically gets dry every winter, so I should try your idea. And the energy used to heat the water is not wasted, but also heats the house.

Ooh, nice! I'm grateful you have a wood fireplace! That's the smartest "appliance" to have in one's house at this point.

I wish I could use the fireplace more often, but my son is afraid it will catch the house on fire. To keep the peace with him, I refrain from using the fireplace. But if the power shuts off and if it gets cold, he might beg me to light the fire!
