Sometimes, I want something only if it’s on the cheap, second hand, and easy… that’s usually Craigslist.
Often what I want isn’t available when I think of it… but it might show up sometime… I don’t want to have to look at craigslist every day (because I wont).
Google Alerts to the rescue.
If I’m in Louisville KY and I’m looking for an iPod (for example) I just setup an alert for: “site:louisville.
So the website has been down from Oct 21st to Nov 23rd. The old server got hacked (or really, a sister-server) and due to security concerns, we didn’t know what got owned and what was safe. We already had a different server hardware to put in place, just had to set it up. So we got that installed and up and running, but it took me a few more days to get around to implementing something on my site.
We are home again, from a trip to San Francisco and Sonoma, California. (map)
The trip was for April’s wedding (Anita’s sister) to Billie one of our best friends from our three years in Columbus, OH.
We started out by going to Salt Point State Park and camping. We were able to hike to the beautiful (but cold) cliff-lined-coast and watch seals and waves alike. On our way back from camping we visited Fort Ross, the oldest establishment on the west coast, and old Russian trading post.
Poppy’s really thinned out and sped up. At 18 months, she’s about the same height as she was at 14 months, but seems much more thin. Must be all the running, jumping, and climbing she does. She can happily run in a circle for 15 minutes, or bounce on a bed for 30.
She’s started school at “The Friend’s School” this week, in the 1 year old class three days a week for three hours each day.
I finally uploaded some of the photos we’ve recently taken… Here are our two trips to various “pick your own” farms, for strawberries and blueberries.
