Last week I ordered the new wood burning insert for my fireplace, in brown. It is being shipped from Colorado, and will arrive this week. The installation date will depend on the contractor's availability and schedule. I am so excited! It's a beautiful looking piece, made in Canada. Some of the parts are from Ireland. Both locations get very, very, cold, and the craftsmen there know how to deal with the bitterly chilly weather.
Many of you have been asking me to post photos of my home and possessions. I'm sorry, but I don't reveal information about my whereabouts, schedule, or what I have recently purchased. I have a friend who documented his move from Las Vegas to Canada on Facebook. He had been very successful in show business, bought a house, and had furnished it with beautiful things. He carefully packed up all of his possessions, rented a U-Haul, and headed back home to help his mother. He woke up at a motel in Utah to find that someone had stolen the entire U-Haul. They had unhooked it from his SUV, (which he had also shown us, online.) Nearly everything he owned was gone. He had to go and buy socks and underwear at Walmart.
I felt sick when reading his news. Often people assume it is just friends reading their posts, but police have found that this is one of of the most common way thieves steal. They follow your Facebook or blog posts. People upload photos of their homes, their prized new purchases, and their vacation plans. It makes it very easy for criminals to break into your house when you are out of town.
During times like this, we really have to be aware. No one wants to be negative, but we do have to be realistic and mature. Some things are better kept private, in my opinion. Many of our blogs attract international audiences. Mine has readers from countries that I never even knew existed. Networks can be vast. It's better not to advertise certain things, in my opinion.
