Last weekend my family and I drove nearly four hours back to my tiny little hometown in central Pennsylvania.  Some things never change.  The same groups of friends that always sat together in the cafeteria huddled around the same table again.  Cris is still the life of the party.  Jen is still boy crazy.  Kristie…

Remember that song from the musical Camelot, If Ever I Would Leave You?  I am thankful that we are saying good-bye to our home of six years in the fall, because I keep hearing these lyrics in my mind… If ever I would leave you how could it be in springtime? Did you post a…

Last weekend’s Survey Saturday asked where you find the images you use on your site, and the overwhelming response was that you take your own pictures and create your own graphics.  While creating your own images is fun and may provide you exactly what you need, it is also time consuming not to mention frustrating…
