• Baltimore and Back

    We took a week long trip to visit my parents and Dan’s daughters in September. Dan stayed with his daughter while I met my older sister in Baltimore. It was a good visit. We stayed in one of the guest rooms at Charlestown so we got a taste of retirement community living.

  • Too Much Like Work

    It seems like this past month has been a blur of projects, setting up a WordPress website, setting up a  AAUW Georgia Facebook Page, updates to websites and Facebook for two organizations, web conference, and research for a social media task force. As I said to Dan, “It seems like I am working!”

  • Road Trip

    We enjoyed a 25 road trip to Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, Ohio and West Virginia and many states in between. We focused on family on this trip with sightseeing a sideline. We visited, cousins of all degrees, sisters, nieces, great nephews,  daughters and friends. We were fortunate with the weather and had summer days for…

  • Ordered iPad

    My new iPad should be shipped April 12. Yippee! I have been following the reviews, blog posts, twitter feeds and Facebook posts for days. I finally decided I would get by with the wi-fi version just fine. There are so many get APPS for the new device, it will be fine to play with them.…

  • Monterey Bay

    We had a quickie trip to Monterey for the Dairy Queen Territory Operators Idea Exchange. Since the banquet was on St. Patrick’s Day, Dan’s cousin, the MT/ND Territory Operator and host for the meeting, wanted an Irish influence so she invited Dan to provide some Irish history, toasts and stories. As a self described semi-professional…
