Peanuts at Christmas

This small house lives big on a problem lot

The story best begins when the Paul Hutchinsons picked Robert Fischer as architect. They described a house to him that would fit their family of three and their casual way of living. It had to be functional, with lots of greenery outdoors and a chance to see it from inside.

A small house that does a big job

Study the picture above and the floor plan at right-- you'll quickly see that this month's Five Star home brings good looks and good living together in an attention-getting way. And at a good price, too!

Gifts men want most

That older Christmas was one we seemed to hold in our hands. After all, our hands seemed to create so much more of it then than now.

The diary of a Plain dirt gardener

Dec. 1 On this bright and chilly day, I got outdoors to feed the birds and from inside, did a lot of watching as they came to the feeders to eat. Two new ones for this season showed up-- a hairy woodpecker and that funny looking nuthatch with a sorta red breast and stubby tail.

THE MAM NEXT DOOR

I don't know what my 10-year-old is getting me for Christmas. She always hides my present. And if it's anything like the tie she gave me last year, I don't blame her.
