Family Gatherings

Later today we are headed to a family gathering on my dad's side of the family. I always enjoyed going to family gatherings as there were cousins who are in my age range that I do not get to see very often. Having moved away from the area and staying gone for 13 years it is always nice to see family that I don't get to see very often. Growing up our family gatherings were always at Thanksgiving and we would have a house full of people. My dad always did the cooking and other family would bring side dishes. We always munched on food all day before the meal. Chips, Dip, Vegetables and Sausage Snackers was always readily available while the main meal was cooking. Now my cousin has taken over the entertaining of the clan. It seems like January is the time chosen to have the family gathering. Scary thing is it has only been a year since the last family gathering and my family will probably wonder who the skinny guy that I brought with me is. My husband dropped some weight last year since the last family gathering and he has hair this time.

Link from blog is similar to other paid blogging companies in that you bid for jobs and the advertisers will look at the bids and determine who they want to write the reviews.

Blog Anniversary Milestone

   It is hard to believe that I have had this blog for the last 7 years.   I never thought that I would continue to do it for this long.    I have taken breaks here and there but I always come back and post something.   Sometimes it is a few weeks or months.   I have gone as long as a year but I always come back.   Looking through my archives I found how short my posts were and how few and far between they are in some spots as well.  When my husband and I set up our blogs all those years ago not many people knew what blogs were.   Now everyone has one.   Okay, well maybe not everyone my parents do not have one nor do I see either of them getting one anytime soon.  It is amazing to see what people blog about.   I read a long list of blogs religiously but have never been able to blog what I would call consistently.   As much as I enjoy it it seems a lot of people get tired of...

Technology

Well where do I begin with this one.   It seems like technology has not been my friend this week.  I wanted to make some updates to my handmade jewelry store , but the internet had other things in mind for me.  Yesterday when our internet connection seemed to be working in my favor I set out to do the updates that I mentioned.   Well that did not happen.  The network storage device that we have for backup was not accessible all day long.  Last night after Art woke up he finally got the device working again.   Needless to say we just backed up the device with a portable usb hard drive.  I didn�t know everything had to be so redundant.  So this morning was spent making updates to my site and getting blog going for my handmade jewelry store.  Everything store related will be posted here.    I will occasionally mention it on this one but any changes I make or products I add will be posted on my jewelry blog.
