This is a test post, just trying to iron out a few kinks as I get that Facebook page running. I’m trying out a couple of different RSS-feed capabilities, and whoever’s is fastest with transferring posts from Blogger to Facebook wins 🙂
At the risk of sounding megalomaniacal, this evening I started a Facebook page expressly for this blog. I didn’t mean to, it just sort of happened…and while on vacation, at that! Facebook made some changes over the past few months about how a “Group” or “Fan Page” is used and managed…in addition, RSS feeds into … Read more
Imagine my delight when I saw N-Scale Magazine sitting in a magazine rack yesterday at the Strasburg Station train store in Lancaster, PA. And here’s Dave’s super-awesome front cover picture, and inside is his feature article! I wish I could share the whole article here with you, but from our vacation we can’t do it … Read more
Happy Belated Father’s Day to any of my Dad readers! We were happy to get to spend time with Dave’s Dad early in the day at Dave’s family reunion in Pennsylvania, then we drove down to my parents’ house in West Virginia in time for dinner with my Dad. Earlier in the week GeekMom solicited … Read more
I’m tickled about two things about this week’s Friday Fill-in: a.) I’m typing this while we’re cruising up I-65 between Montgomery and Birmingham, AL. I schedule it to post on Fridays, but I usually write these up on Thursdays as soon as “Wifey’s” questions come in. We got one of those nifty Verizon 4G modems … Read more
We learned this already on our drive to Orlando last weekend. Navarre, Florida to Orlando is about 6 hours worth of driving. We were able to get from Raleigh, NC to Washington, D.C. in less time. But when we started doing our driving planning for our annual June trip to central PA for Dave’s family … Read more
I found this flyer that was handed to me when I turned on the Disney World Tickets last Thursday. I remember stuffing it into our backpack as soon as I got it, and while cleaning out the backpack yesterday I found it. This is the no-kidding real fine print about the extension to the Disney … Read more
**I’m reminded of all those Disney reprise movies: Return to Neverland, Return from Witch Mountain, Return to Halloweentown, Return to Snowy River, etc. Semi-impulsively, this past weekend we took a “short” trip down to Disneyworld and joined our friends Suzy and Andy’s family, and along with their neighbor’s family. They flew down from Ohio for … Read more
I guess good recipes travel fast! I was delightfully surprised when one of Brandie @ The Country Cook’s friends, Laurie @ Feeding My Ohana, contacted me about how excited she was to see a non-commercial simple Huli Huli Chicken marinade recipe at The Country Cook a couple weeks ago. Laurie tried it and gave it … Read more
In the shade of our garage, we were able to load the car in relative comfort…OUT of the 90+ degrees at 9am! Not only is our summer full of travel, but we couldn’t even wait for school to end before taking our first trip! Since we’re taking the SUV up to PA/WV/VT next week, we’re … Read more
