    It's a busy, busy week- new job, working on the house, packing, moving, you get the picture.

    But I wanted to share one thing, as belated as it may be (and I hope it's not too late):

    The beloved Adirondack Girl Scout camp that I attended for many [...]

    It's Loverly

    Buying a house has been in our "next few years" plan for awhile. Originally we thought spring of 2010 would be a good time, but then these tax incentives came up and we found ourselves looking at the end of this past summer.

    I love this idea. We adopted a number of antique cameras from Pat's uncle, and my dad has a rather impressive collection of his own. My dad's sat on a family room shelf when I was a kid, and occassionally I'd get him to show' [...]
