Interesting story from Syracuse. It has nothing to do with travel, save for the fact that we will be driving there next week. But I was surprised that this story was not more publicized. A search resulted in only WSYR covering it. The summary of the story is also on a webpage dedicated to the [...]
We have a week of activities planned, this coming week. I’m trying to get the kids focused on their work. I think the winter blues has got them, too, as they are sluggish and have been finding the pencil-pushing laborious this past week or so.
We are planning on taking a tour of a newspaper [...]
I posted this on my other travel blog, but it was so hilariously funny I had to post it here, so you wouldn’t miss it.

I am in the process of building several blogs/websites. Haven’t had too much time to post here as of yet, just little stuff.
I’ve had a resource type of blog in the works for months, Mrs. Mecomber’s Scrapbook, that I haven’t really attended to. I’ve decided to go full throttle with the blog now, and it [...]
The title says it all.
I made apple pie today. Used lots of cinnamon and a generous dose of nutmeg. Nutmeg always gives me heartburn. The thought did cross my mind as I shook that nutmeg shaker into the apple mix. I was intoxicated by the musky scent of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mmmm.

I’m having problems getting embedded codes for photos to work here. This is just a test.
This is just a test.
Just look at all the progress I have been making with this blog! Woohoo! I just love Wordpress! Sometimes the code is a little hard to decipher, but there are a lot of tutorials out there for newbies like me. I cut my teeth on Blogger, though. If I started out cold with Wordpress before [...]
