Charles Frazier and The Appalachian People | Trifter
Charles Frazier and The Appalachian People | Trifter
Charles Frazier writes about the Appalachian people in the most interesting stories. Cold Mountain was written about the Civil War and the Appalachian people who participated in the war. Along with Gone With the Wind it is the book that most closely defines the Civil War. Charles Frazier was raised in Appalachia and knows the area and people from personal experience. That’s what makes the people feel so real in his stories. If you haven’t read any of his books yet, you have missed a treat.

Common Usage of American Idioms | Quazen
Common Usage of American Idioms | Quazen
Common usage of American idioms can be very confusing for those who speak English as a second language. We have so many idioms, I wonder how anyone who isn’t born to the culture can learn them all. It isn’t the formal language that students study, even so, it’s the way Americans talk. I hope this information will come in handy to those of you who aren’t familiar with our informal language.

It’s Time to Fill The Bird Feeders | Quazen
It’s Time to Fill The Bird Feeders | Quazen
It’s time to fill the bird feeders if we want to see beautiful birds flitting around in our yards this winter. If you want to attract a certain species of birds, choose the type of bird feeder and seeds that they like. Nectar for humming birds and white millet for nuthatches and many other types of birds. Black oil sunflower seeds attract a great number of birds including goldfinches, titmice, woodpeckers, bluejays and more. With winter coming on food will be scarce. Birds will come back to feeding places they find this fall. So, fill up those feeders.

A New Child Care Plan for Divorced Parents | Gomestic
A New Child Care Plan for Divorced Parents | Gomestic
You have to feel sorry for children of divorce who are shuffled back and forth from house to house. I can imagine how disconcerting it would be. Children like their own room with their own things. But what is a divorced couple to do? Well, there is a new plan afoot for children of divorce. Critics say it isn’t a good plan, but I disagree. If children can stay in their own home, why not? It’s the parents who changed the family dynamics, not the children.
