Back home

Finally back home. Plane ride wasn't so great. Little Neve didn't go to sleep. Almost nodded off just as we were landing. ACK. Both kids fell asleep in the car on the way home and woke up when we got here. All are now in bed.

My computer will be arriving tomorrow night with DH, so I'll have some pics up on Monday.

Thanks for listening,

Still away

Hi there,
checking in again.
Only 2 more sleeps and we'll be back home in our brick house. The one we are staying in right now is wooden. So they have been named such by my 3 yr old son. He is having a blast. He was so tired,he fell asleep in my arms. ahh. It's been a long time since that happened.

My 1 yr old daughter is deciding that she doesn't like riding in the car so much anymore. Man, she has some lungs on her! Remember those singing fish that were popular years ago? Well, there is one here at the house. The DH took it an put it on the boat at the end of the race. Well, DD LOVES it. Both kids were dancing and clapping to it today. When it was over, she would point to it a yell at it. As if that would turn it on:}It only has 2 songs.. Don't worry, be happy and take me to the river. Oh boy, are those songs stuck in your head now? Don't care if I ever hear them again.

I found another Michael's and bought a few more things. Finally found a religious Christmas stamp that I liked. You'll see an example of that. I made 2 more cards and have another idea in my head, but have to get back to my own stuff to finish it.

It's cold here today. We went from August 70th, to Nov. 12th!! The lake at the end of the dock doesn't look so inviting and the thoughts of dragging the paddle boat out of the water, well, has left it in the water.:}

Lovely time here. I will miss this big bungalow. no stairs so the kids can follow me where ever they want. This is also a nice area. Easy to get from A-B. Went to the Train Museum in Baltimore. WOW. Nice place. The roundhouse had to be totally rebuilt b/c of a roof collapse from snow. Truly amazing. Yep, nice vacation. Back to reality on Sunday when I go sing at church.

Guess I was in a rambling mood tonight
Thanks for listening.

More chat

Hi there,
Thanks for checking in...
I wish I were more technically enhanced.?
I'm using a friend's computer, the pictures of my cards are in it. (I've been busy), but I don't know how to get them from there to here. You see... I used to be a pc girl, but then I married a mac addict. He buys me things that are MAC oriented. So what am I to say? NO?? pshaw. SO now I'm a Mac girl and i don't remember how to work a pc. Sad story:}

Seriously though, have found a Michael's, dragged the children and shopped, shopped, shopped. (not too bad. I just get my 3 yr old on a Lightening McQueen scavenger hunt. I swear, he can't find the thing on the floor in front of him, but he can spot a Cars product in the store from a mile away. And my 1 yr old, I just give her something to chew. She's teething again.) Almost everything I bought was on sale. So much so, that I only had 2 items that I could use the 50% off coupon on. and they were both around 10 bucks. I will go back again as there are a few things I'd like to buy more of. you'll see them if I ever get the pics here.

It's really hot here. And humid. Yuckier than it's been in Toronto all summer. but it isn't smoggy. So that's good. Just sticky.

Off to a BBQ at the sailing club where DH is racing. Guess I'll create more cards tomorrow. And try to get some on this blog.

Thanks for listening..

Missing, but active

Hi there,
I've not posted since Tuesday, as I am in Edgewater, Maryland. About 10 minutes south of Annapolis. I've been to a small, small, small Joann's fabric store. Only 2 rows of stamping stuff. I did find a nice $1 JOY stamp and have figured out a nice card for it.
I don't have internet access from my computer, so I can't show you yet. If I get down to the sailing club,where there is wi-fi, I'll send a pic.

Hoping to get to Michael's and Target, to check out their dollar spot. I couldn't find anything in Annapolis, but a house mate said she saw a strip of big stores just south of here. Can't wait to hit them. Oh yes, want to find a hobby lobby if I can. I'm all ready to shop, have saved the money, made my list, and NOTHING. Somebody, tell me where/how to spend my money. LOL

I must send a pic of the lovely waterfront house we are staying at also. We're going to get some bait (chicken wings were recommended) to put in the crab pots. We can tie them to the end of the dock...which is after the gazebo. We went for a short paddle boat ride with the kids today. we will feel it tomorrow. The paddles were seized up. But the kids enjoyed the pseudo beach. The ride back was much nicer with the wind in our backs.

Did I mention how hot it was here??? in the 80s. Humid. My hair hasn't been so wiry all summer!

We still have a whole week here. Yeah.

I'll post again, hopefully with some pics.

Thanks for listening,
Amanda
