Home From Camping

Mirrored entry from http://lori-dustypages.blogspot.com/:

I logged into my email this afternoon and saw that I had 247 waiting for me!  Aaack!

We had a wonderful weekend camping.  I had a few minutes on my computer Saturday, and that was it.  We got home late Sunday night, and all I did yesterday was sleep!   So slowly but surely I'm going to get caught up some today, see where everyone is and what's going on with the "migration", and I'll be back later to make a proper post with some pictures hopefully.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

 

By the way, I was able on Friday to burn my AOL Journal that I'd saved to an eBook onto a CD.

Officially Blogging

Mirror from Blogspot:

I am really wasting a lot of time today, how about everyone else? I’m going to give myself an hour to read and comment in other people’s blogs today, and I’m going to allow myself to play around with my own some more. My kids are on their own this afternoon. Lol<?xml:namespace prefix = o />

I did spend some quality time with Thomas this morning before he left for work, so he can’t complain. But the house and all other responsibilities are going to be neglected today I’m afraid.


EXCEPT that it is a gorgeous day here in Southern Indiana, and I just may have to go outside and do some yard work. We actually got some rain on Monday night/Tuesday morning – our first real rain in weeks. Today it is cool, barely 60°, but sunny with a bit of a breeze. My favorite kind of weather. I guess this is a pretty good way to start out the month of October, all in all.

I'm glad that the weather is so "normal" for October.  I hope it stays this way.  We have our camping trip this weekend.  I won't be there the whole time, though, because someone has to be here to take care of the animals.  I don't want to arrange care for all of them just for the weekend, since we did that not too long ago.  Thomas will be working some of the time too, so I'll be driving back and forth.  Andrew won't be going this year either because he already had something else planned.  But Eler Beth will be there the whole time.  She has lots of friends there, so she won't have to miss out on anything.

I hope everyone is feeling better now about the journal/blog thing.  I am.  I think it's great that Guido has volunteered to be the keeper of the dormant blogs if need be, and he and others have been very helpful, jumping right in and taking charge in helping anyone who needs help.

It is interesting, to say the least.

Moving Along

This is a copy of the post I did at my Blogspot:

I actually got emails that I had comments left here. So at least I figured that part out.

Apparently when our old journals migrate, it has to be in a new blog. I could keep this one as a practice blog, under a different name, and then when the migration takes place, open Lori-DustyPages, migrate AOL Dusty Pages over, and then seriously begin, OR I will just continue with this one and start a new blog called Archive DustyPages for the AOL journal to go into. I can have a link on this journal to the Archive one if anyone should ever need to go there. Hmm, decisions, decisions.  (Any suggestions?)

In the meantime, I'm going to continue as I mean to go on, and go ahead and keep up with everyone who has sent a link to their Blogspot (can I abbreviate it to B/S without anyone taking offense?) location, and hopefully not get behind.

My book journals and "I Stand Corrected" I will wait to move over. There is a way to do shared blogs here at B/S, so Guido, Beth, and whoever else is interested, we can continue to do I Stand Corrected in a shared format.

I can't wait to get this page looking a little neater!!

Okay, well, I'm off to continue copying and pasting into Word. I'm not taking any chances.

I can already see that one thing I don't like about B/S is the fewer fonts to choose from.  Guess I'll have to draft on a word pad or something, then transfer over.
