Several of you have expressed interest in my casual comment that we have a new kitten in the house. I’ve blogged about her on my other blog, here and here and here, if you want to learn all about her. But I thought I’d mention her here, too, since you may not be familiar with [...]
My humblest thanks to all the folks who read this blog. It’s really neat when I get a blog award. This one is the I Love Your Blog Award and it’s coming from From a Yellow House in England and Life and Love. Both of these blogs I’ve found through Entrecards- they are wonderful [...]
Autumn is my favorite season. I think a lot of New Yorkers love it best, too. Fall weather is so crispy and clean, and this is when New York literally glows with autumn colors. It’s a great time to be in New York State.
Like the critters that populate our state, autumn is also the time [...]
Well, we haven’t been out to as many places as we’d hoped this year. The year is not over yet of course! We have a few appointments this month and we do try to tie in a trip somewhere with those. But overall, a lot of our hopes and plans fizzled out this summer. It [...]
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 [...]
i cannot believe that the summer is nearly over. Some moms are blogging about their kids going back to school. Yeah, I’d say the end of August is a little early for back to school! Wow. My kids will be hitting the books sometime in mid-September. We don’t know if we can squeeze another trip [...]
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 [...]
There have been areas we’ve visited that looked so beautiful and comfortable that we just wanted to settle in. Ever feel that way? A lot of New Yorkers do! A healthy portion of New Yorkers (”snowbirds” they are called) have visited and loved Florida so much that they find some land and live there for [...]
They are called “innovative” but they look crazy to me! Here’s a biodome. So cool looking!
…pull drinking water from the air, gather heat and electricity from the sun, and live completely supplied for in his geodesic sustainable dome. Somewhere in the mountain near Elko, Nevada, he seems to be doing just that. According to his [...]
My local newspaper had a front page news story about how gasoline prices are keeping many would-be travelers home. People are trying to come up with ways to enjoy the summer within their neighborhood. Sheesh, I’ve been doing that for seven years now! That’s what this blog is all about! :S
We haven’t gone out very [...]
