This is a really lovely award, and this blog got one! Kathy of Brazocowgirl gave it to me! Kathy, I am deeply, deeply honored. I think this is one of the best Internet awards out there. And it’s really nice to get this, especially after a week of astounding technical problems that have come from [...]
Since owning our own house and land, we love birds. My young son is a budding ornitholigist (and yes, he knows what that word means. Did you know that ornith is Greek for “bird”? Ornithology is the study of birds). Birds have been very helpful to our gardens, too. New York State has loads of [...]
The Founder’s quote for today is a real gem, by, not surprisingly, Alexander Hamilton. I’ll cut to the quick.
“No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of [...]
While I’m on a camping/hiking travel gear mode, I thought I’d post about this, too: cell phone accessories. The cell phone has completely transformed camping, I think. When once you were at the mercies of whatever nature could throw at you, while you ate and slept in a strange, forested, and completely unknown area, the [...]
We’re still hoping to squeeze in one more trip before school starts! One of our vehicles gave up the ghost, so my husband needs my traveling van for his work. We do have to get out toward Syracuse for a few appointments coming up; I hope to make a stop at a beach or [...]
We’re going to get school gear this week. Whoopie. I actually hate shopping, especially clothes shopping and shoes shopping! The traffic, the pushy people in the aisles, etc. We’re trying to do what we can online. The major purchase this year will be pants and socks. My kids– all four of them– grew incredibly this [...]
Well, guess what, I have another problem with my web host! Not for this blog (Bluehost has been much better recently), but for my other blog hosted with a different company. All I can say is: WOW. My constant barrage of problems has been supernatural.
THIS time, the date is messed up. My Wordpress dashboard [...]
I have been too many weekend music festivals and, during each one, I have realised that I have not thought of everything one could possibly need for such an event. I have taken my children to festivals when they were younger and these trips necessitated a great deal of planning and packing for.
I have four [...]

Thank you, Carole. Carole’s blog is actually one of my most favorite blogs to visit- now THAT’s a fun blog to read! I am happy [...]
Goodness, people are just flinging awards at Mrs. Mecomber left and right! I’ve got another one, from my great buddy Hercules Mulligan over at Herculean Reflections. It’s a great blog, by the way. Hercules Mulligan has a slew of blogs– I have NO idea how he keeps up with them all– and my favorite is [...]
Well, we don’t know what happened– It seems to be my lot in life to thoroughly befuddle tech support with all my strange and baffling technical problems– but I lost four of my Bluehost blogs today. The ordeal is over and the posts have been restored, but WOW I think I just earned another handful [...]
