Romantic Walks to the Fridge: Rule #4
As you may have deduced with wits I hope are sharper than those of the FBI unit in NBC's Hannibal, this list continues on from last week's deceptively titled 'Rule #1' on the social media faux pas committed by a) the regular user and b) the filmies. And without further ado...
Rule #4: wishing people who aren't on Facebook a Happy Birth/Mother's/Father's Day or Fourth of July or Groundhog Day or whatever it is any of you celebrate. "Happy Father's Day to the world's greatest dad!" Is your dad on Facebook? No? So wait, he didn't even read that message? No? Do you have your dad's phone number? Yes? Would that have been more personal? For him to hear your voice? You know.... just putting that out there. Stop it.*
*the geeky/obsessive exception to this rule is when wishing pop culture icons/people who inspire you a happy birthday. If you do this, avoid looking like a hipster know-it-all and reference these people's works, preferrably by including a link to who they are/what they've done.
Rule #5: don't abuse social media privacy privileges or it will come back to haunt you and will become a nightmare worse than any horror film you've ever seen. Security on social media, and email for that matter, is more flimsy than 2008 Grammy's J-Lo. Cyber safety is currently a huge issue - treat the hidden coves of your social media existence as if they were public. Is there anything you wouldn't want your bosses to read? Any politically sensitive material? Offensive to where you live/work? Get rid of it.
Rule #6: documenting your every movement is silly because a) if you're Foursquare'ing all your locations, you are like a walking blimp for stalkers**, b) noone cares that you just made John a cake and that you are now having a cup of tea and that you are now watching a film and in another hour will watch another film and in another hour will discuss how awesome this film is with everyone on Twitter until you are all spent and retire to your bat caves digitally exhausted and ready to re-boot for another day with your pixel families and c) it's annoying. Moderation is key.
**security settings can help here, but really, why do we all need to know you were at Burger King and are now at the pub and are now back home? WHO CARES?
Are you guilty of any of these? Do you have any SM pet peeves?

Cheese Army’s End | Club Penguin United Nations
Cheese Army’s End
Posted on June 15, 2010 by Mr Deedledoo
The Club Penguin Cheese Army was one of the armies who were with us during the great age of summer-winter 2009. They were alongside Riotor’s Club Penguin Secret Service, Batintrenche’s Noobs of Club Penguin, Houndy66’s Freedom Warriors, Miroos’ and Ads’ Mysterious Army (MA2), Miroos, Ads’ and Houndy66’s Mysterious Freedom Warriors, Atm23’s Seperatist Penguin Association Air Force, Aan10’s Aqua Warriors, Flipper7706’s Ghost Warriors, Deet007’s Canadian Cup Army, Unicow’s Club Penguin Water Warriors, Emily London’s Elites, Godplayer’s Elites, Leaderbird’s Royal Empire of Club Penguin, Mix 1011’s Lava VAS, Alighf’s Orange Rebels, Ashpie’s Club Penguin Rulers Army, Greeniedude1’s CP Kingdom Army, Wiggle N’s United Ghost Armies, Harvin13’s Purple Heads, and many more. See here and scroll to the 2009-2010 area of the page. 😉
Here’s a short summary of the army:
The Club Penguin Cheese Army joined the CPUN on June 13, 2009 which was just a year and a couple days ago. They were a cheerful bunch who had a good amount of enthusiastic people willing to comment and have fun. They had a reasonable amount of Practice Battles and successful activities during their run and actually had chatboxes with people chatting with them. They were one of the most successful underground armies of the CPUN and the Club Penguin Warfare World and had been mentioned several times in other sites, even major army sites. They attended CPUN activities and mingled it the community here. On the month of December 2009, they merged with other armies and were moved to this site. Soon after, they became independent again and last a quarter of the next year on their own. On the month of May, comments and hits began declining on the CPCA site and Gorge, their leader, starting to worry. They closed for good on May 12, 2010.
These guys were one of the most enthusiastic bunch of people I’ve ever seen. I had always visited them and checked on their goofy plans and great posts. They were always welcoming guests and always welcomed and replied to me when I commented on their site. They were an example of a small army who didn’t need to big to have great fun. They were an example of a small army who had 5 people at first, and still had the complete 5 people present in their Practice Battles. It was great to see their posts with 40+ comments on them. Pretty good for a small army. Though many of the comments were of their leaders, this still showed the spirit of their army. They were so active that I never knew I’d be writing this post about them as soon as now.
As a matter of fact, I just happened to scroll to the right side of our site and see their news feed with the last two posts entitled A Final Goodbye and The End is Near. I was shocked to see this and visited their site. I’m feel so sorry that I wasn’t there to help them out. I had tried to make them feel we, the CPUN, would always be here to help them. They were once a featured army on this site. 😥
Well, the time had come to say goodbye. We have been around for over a year and yet we hung in there enough to enjoy the pride of surviving that long. But we cannot survive any longer. We have not been growing at all lately and I feel as if I’m talking to myself. I’ve been leading this army for over a year and It’s been an amazing experience, but nothing can last forever. I still remember creating a wordpress account and making this site. I still remember recruiting each and every one of you into this army and fighting along side all of you. I remember the pointless color wars on chat when we were bored. I remember when all of you would fight over who could comment on every post more. I remember the constant random conversations we would have on the random comments page. I remember fighting BCP. I remember when we got our first full chat. As you can see I remember a lot xD … But more than half those things are gone now and the spirit in this army has died. The spirit used to be like a huge burning fire, but now it’s a tinsy binsy little piece of burnt wood. We have had our time to shine, but it passed and now it is time to move on. I thought that maybe one day I could lead this army to glory and make it the #1 army. But I wasn’t a strong enough leader to make it there. I know I was a good leader, but not good enough to lead this army all the way to the top. But as one random hobo out there once said: “The strongest of all may not succeed”. So yea we didn’t succeed, but we had success (If that even makes sense). We did rise up into nearly the top ten. We did survive a whole year, when most armies can’t even survive a month. We did get full chats once. We did defeat other armies. We did what many armies never had the opportunity to do. I am proud to have called this my army and I am glad to have led this army. I hope everyone of you are proud to call yourself a member of the cheese army too. Now if you were wondering about me as a person, yes this is also my retirement from all club penguin armies (This does not mean xat!). I will still be on Elites chat to talk with some of you from time to time. I will not be on as often as I usually was, because I have a lot more to accomplish in life xD …. As for my penguin, well my penguin is over 1300 days old now and is a pretty rare penguin. I will not be banning my penguin forever as some people do when they leave club penguin and I will not be giving my penguin away. I’m the kind of person that likes to leave things for later. So maybe one day when I’m an old person I’ll go on club penguin and be like 5000 days old xD … Now usually now someone would make that long list of good-byes to people but since I’m still gonna be on chats that’s kinda be useless because I’ll still be able to talk to you guys….. I guess that’s it.
Remember: Forever and ever, no matter what happens, I will always be a cheese.
~Gorge out.
Continue to read at the CPCA site. I will leave comments on their site. 😉
I believe we should all go over to their site and simply wish them farewell. Especially those who were with them last year – if you’re willing to that is.
We will miss you guys. You are part of the history of the CPUN and will always be. I induct you all into the CPUN Hall of Fame.
Gorge 32
Sky 380
And more. Sorry I wasn’t able to fix the Hall of Fame page yet. I had my last exams the last few weeks. Also, we’ll be going on vacation for three weeks. I’ll probably be on during those days though but at times when the site is down and I don’t seem to be able to get on, I hope you guys can keep it up. 😉 Take a rest if you wish. But please don’t forget to drop by sometimes. 😀
I’m leaving tomorrow and I’ll comment when possible. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful posts Furbur. I’m just wondering where everyone else is.

Hello!! It's Wanda here with you today to share this anniversary tag using the Happy Anniversary sentiment from the Happy Family Days set of 4 stamps.
I started with a #8 Ranger manila tag and first did the wrinkle free distress technique using Distress Inks Tea Dye, Antique Linen, and Pumice Stone. After drying this, I placed the heart stencil (Tim Holtz) over the tag and inked through it with Versamark, removed the stencil and applied PanPastel Permanent Red buffing off any extra with a paper towel. The chalk sticks heavily to the ink and lighter to the other areas. The edges of the tag were then distressed. Happy Anniversary is stamped on white cardstock with Archival Ink Jet Black, trimmed, edges distressed and colored with the PanPastel. The flower pieces (Geranium - Elizabeth Craft Designs) were cut from white cardstock and color added to the center with the PanPastel. The geranium leaves were cut from green cardstock and highlights added with PanPastel Bright Yellow Green. The other leaves (Tim Holtz) were cut from watercolor paper and inked lightly with Distress Ink. All the pieces were shaped and glued to the tag. To finish it up 3D lady bugs were glued on, ribbon and twine tied to the top and white gel pen dots added some of the hearts.

Thank you for inviting me back as today’s Guest Designer! I want to share a card project that was sparked by my friend Toni’s request for cards to send out through her church’s Card Ministry.
I wanted to be able to send her at least two dozen and I thought it would be a good idea to design something that could be made with my favorite method: By the Batch. Once upon a time I wrote a book with that title. It’s been discontinued but copies are still floating around on eBay and Amazon. {Amazon.ca | Amazon.com}
The gist of it is this – Make lots of one-of-a-kind cards in a series using the same supplies for all of them. I don’t enjoy producing assembly-line duplicates and I find that with this method the more cards I make the more I want to make because I keep getting new ideas as I go along. I love lining them up while the inks dry – ‘show and tell’ with only me as the audience! And it’s kind of like doubling or tripling the recipe when baking cookies: There’s a bountiful outcome and only one mess to clean up!
I selected the beautiful and inspiring quote from Albert Camus that Suzanne Cannon turned into an equally beautiful calligraphic stamp. The stamp is called ‘In the Midst of Winter’ but I have dubbed these cards ‘Invincible Summer’ because that’s the part of the quote that warms my heart most. Suzanne’s new Crackle Background stamp fit nicely with the direction I wanted to take.
I mixed in two of her new 4 Seasons dies for one of the cards to show what can be done with some Shimmer Sheetz and a few extra minutes of your time!
Do you have some corner edger scissors or corner punches tucked away in your tool box? If so, put them to use for the triple-layer background cards. Just a few seconds more and an extra half-sheet of cardstock for this option.
If you are an experienced card maker, look through the photo gallery (scroll below), head straight to the supply list and skip the instructions. Create your own versions of the card, customize as you choose.
If you are a beginner, follow the steps below. And remember, even if you are new to card making you can still customize the project to suit your needs! Choose different inks, different quotes and background stamps. Change to tent-fold cards or card bases made from purchased patterned cardstock. It’s all in your hands. Trust your eye. The worst thing that can happen is you waste a piece of cardstock now and then.
(The instructions are long, but I didn’t want to miss a single detail that a beginner might need!)
1. Lightly sponge several pieces of white cardstock with teal ink. With the same ink, stamp the Camus quote many times. Be sure to leave about an inch and a half between the impressions!
2. Make a batch of A2 size (4.5” x 5.5”) side-fold card bases from the same white cardstock. Leave some of these white. Smudge the others with teal and yellow inks, using a different sponge for each color. Refer to the photos. Allow the colors to overlap here and there. Use circular motions as well as long strokes. Create rays that radiate like the sun. Also, use teal ink to randomly and imprecisely over-stamp with Crackle Background. TIP: Apply uneven hand pressure and do not re-ink every time you use the crackle pattern stamp. Second and third ‘ghost’ impressions add a terrific element of surprise and a softer layer of color.
3. For triple-layer background cards: Smudge a few extra pieces of white cardstock, stamp some with crackle pattern. Trim rectangles so they will fit on card front when layered, cut corners with decorative scissors or use corner punches. Center two contrasting rectangles onto card base.
4. Back pieces of Turquoise Gemstone and Yellow Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz with Clear Double Sided Adhesive Sheet and die cut the word Winter from Turquoise and the word Summer from Yellow. Reminder: You MUST use a metal adaptor plate or the Sizzix Big Shot with Precision Base Plate to die cut Shimmer Sheetz. Review Els van de Burgt’s video tutorial HERE if you are new to this technique. Go straight to step 7 to complete the card that uses Shimmer Sheetz words.
5. Tear the stamped quotes around all four edges, or leave a 90-degree angle corner at the top as shown on two of the samples. Smudge a bit of yellow ink over the words Invincible Summer to give the feel of sunshine. Attach a quote to each of the card fronts. TIP: To create a white edge, tear the cardstock toward you. To create a blue edge, tear the cardstock away from you.
6. Accent with simple embellishments: Glitter Dots in Gold or Turquoise, or a mix of the two; or add dimensional dots or brads. Refer to the photos for ideas on where to place them.
7. To complete Card 1 with die cut Shimmer Sheetz ‘Winter’ and ‘Summer’: Choose a card base that has teal ink toward the top, yellow ink toward the bottom, and yellow ink around the outside edges. Cut apart the lines within the quote and glue them in place as follows – ‘In the midst of’ above the word Winter, followed by the three lines that say ‘I found there was,’ and ‘within me, an’ and ‘invincible’ (allowing the flourish at the end of the word Winter to overlap right after the comma on the first of these three lines. Then add the word Summer and the ‘Camus’ attribution (allowing the flourish below Summer to overlap the cardstock with Camus’ name).
Card 1 Design Strategies to Notice:
The first strip and the last strip are both ½” high, while the three strips at the center are much thinner. The top strip is taller by necessity because of the flourish above the ‘d’ but the final strip with only the word ‘Camus’ on it is taller so that the card has some visual ‘weight’ toward the bottom! This is intentional, not something random. My goal was to keep the eye moving through the words. And the line spacing is uneven by intention. That also helps the eye keep moving.

Good Morning. This is Selma today with a post using Suzanne's beautiful "The Earth Laughs In Flowers" rubber stamp. A card created with this stamp could be used for a variety of card giving occasions.
This stamp set also comes with a beautiful Rose stamp. I chose to create dimensional roses and lilacs, created with Susan's Garden Notes Rose 1 and Garden Notes Lilac dies, for dimension, on the front of this card. The flowers created duplicate the flowers in the design paper which is from the Craft & You - Rose Garden Paper Pad. The Rose stamp was used on the inside of the card.

Scored and folded my white card.
Created a stencil using Spellbinders "Stars Five" set, die cutting with the largest die in the center of a larger piece of scrap cardstock. Placed the stencil where I wanted it on my card front. Inked the crackle stamp using Distress pads ("Broken China" all over, "Faded Jeans" & "Wilted Violet" here and there), misted with water and stamped. Used some of the unused portions of the stamp to stamp the unstamped sections. Sponged some of the faded jeans around the edges of the stencil to define the star shape. Dried thoroughly.
Stamped the quote ("Perhaps They Are Not Stars...") using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.
Punched and die cut the various stars (McGill star punch for the medium stars and Fiskars star punch for the smallest stars), and the smallest of the Spellbinders stars. Used a Quickie glue pen to outline each of the stars and sprinkled with Ritz micro fine glitter "Royal Blue".
Created a background paper for the bow using the crackle background stamp and the same ink pads as above (see pic below). After cutting the bow pieces, sponged them with the blues and violet to get deeper tonal values. Also sponged the backs of the pieces since they are partially visible. (The larger the bow, the more visible is the underside...)
When the front of the card was completed, kept it closed to adhere various sized rhinestone stars through each opening to the inside of the card using Glossy Accents. (See pic at the top)
Inside: Sponged some blue around the edges with a dirty sponge.
Die cut the "With Sympathy" (also available on Quietfire Design HERE) from a scrap piece of the background, then sponged more "Faded Jeans" to bring out the color. Adhered to inside.
See instructions for "Paper Bow" below. When completed, adhered to card front adding a purple heart button to the center.
To see the step by step pics, check out the post I did in Feb 2014 (PS I used slightly different sizes for this bow)
http://quietfirecreations.blogspot.ca/2014/02/a-smile-that-you-send-out-paper-bow.html
Step 1: ink stamp with various colors, mist with water and stamp. Repeat as necessary to create a large enough background. I stamped twice to create a piece 8.5"w x 3.5"h
Step 2: Sponge with same colors to create depth.
Step 3: Cut background paper 1"h x the various sizes (1 pce 6.5"w; 1pce 5.5"w & 1 pce 4.5"w)
Use your envelope punch to punch the notch in the middle of each piece. Turn each piece 180º and repeat. On the shortest piece also notch both ends to create the picot.
Use the corner round of the envelope punch to round the edges of the 2 longest strips to create what the image looks like.
PS if you don't have an envelope punch, using a square or rectangle punch to create your notches and a basic corner rounder punch for the ends will work as well, although it probably won't give you the same roundness to those center notches, but that gets hidden anyways with the center embellishment if large enough....
After punching the notches and corners etc, use a pencil or other round shape to massage your paper so it rolls nicely (similar to curling curling ribbon), to both longest pieces. Adhere the ends matching the notch shape of the longest strip, then do the same for the medium sized strip. Adhere both of these together at the center, then adhere these to the smallest strip. Voila, your bow is made. Adhere to your card and add a center embellishment.

I 'm pretty sure I didn't retell that exactly right, but at least I didn't forget that Kim didn't like fruits called eggs. :

That afternoon of surprise driving lesson | counting.steps.forward
← WordPress app log in issues	Welcome change →
December 2, 2013 by monalisachong	We were out to pick up some groceries today. The past days have been full of doubts and almost unbearable. My back’s aching, my heart on a sudden searing pain. It’s as if anxiety is almost engulfing everything in- deep, hollow, and scary. But as what I always say, these days are not common, yet they linger. Damn that earthquake!
Anyway, we went to 2 supermarkets today due to diaper outage. We were guessing that demands have soared high due to that super strong typhoon leaving millions homeless. There is too much suffering in the world but I still hold on to that thread of hope and that promise of a better tomorrow.
We decided to have a little snack at the park before going home. Yes, we were at the parking lot of the grocery store with some cheese roll, water and a Hazelnut milk tea. We watched again Aurora the Sleeping Beauty and the 3 good fairies, and how we love to critique how Aurora got pretty because the fairy gifted her with it (we are just trying to spoil the story! :D). Though, I am really seriously alarmed that she was betrothed and expected to marry at the age of 16. Too young, right?
As we went out of the huge parking lot, husband turned the wheels unto the huge space. He got out of the car and asked me to take the driver’s seat. I have been wanting that lesson. I am a person who dreams (the one when you sleep) and loves cars but doesn’t know how to drive. First he gave me those first few introductions, the clutch, brakes and gas pedals and the basic how tos’ like turning on the engine. I got familiar with the gears, did some reverse moves and finally drove it a few meters. It was scary but it sure did make my day. That was fun and scary (in a good way). Till next lesson.
And oh, I am just thankful my husband still likes to surprise me.

the Jess Journals: August 2011
Eventually I'd love to get good enough to draw from "real life" - I remember I once drew my strappy prom shoes during senior year Art AP - how awesome would it be to have drawings of all my shoes? (Really awesome!) In the meantime, I really need to pick up more markers (hate the grainy texture from color pencils - I'd love to have smooth color throughout!), which I will do this week, and keep practicing to improve my technique...I will graduate to drawing patterns and textures one day...! Yay! Drawing makes me happy.

Great location and loves dogs
This hotel is very well priced. It accepts dogs, for a small fee, which is great. Location is fantastic. You can walk over to the beach and to any number of restaurants. Rooms are very nice - clean, well laid out. Very good value.

Hotel is right in the middle of everything......walking, biking, beach, restaurants....on and on it goes! Attached restaurant and lounge were reasonably-priced and the food was great, as was the staff. The lounge was situated right on the corner of Denman and Davies, so we had a 180 view of English Bay. The rooms were nice and nicely updated considering the hotel is 60+ years old. Staff were very friendly and check-in and out were handled efficiently.

Thank You for the very flattering review. I am very pleased you loved our Bayside Lounge with its magnificent view of English Bay. I look forward to seeing you on your next trip to Vancouver.
WE flew from Sydney to Vancouver arriving at 8 am and didn't even think about the fact that we may not be able to check in till 3pm (silly silly silly). We didn't even have to ask for early check, the staff took one look at our sorry selves and organised an early check in. Life savers !
Hotel in good walking distance to Stanley Park, rooms clean and comfy, restaurant attached had great atmosphere. Wished we stayed here longer :-)

Two and a half stars with a four star view
I spent June 7-11 in room 210 which was located just far enough from the elevators to be quiet without being a long walk. Earlier reviews had stated that even numbered rooms had a good view and they were dead on. The the right side of the bay window revealed a magnificent look at English Bay. This was as good a view I've had from a hotel room.
The room style air conditioner was adequate and not too noisy but still sub-optimal in 2014.
The bathroom was a little dated and very snug. Having the door agaist your knee while sitting on the toilet is a claustrophic nightmare.
There was no fan to ventilate the bath during a shower and you had to close the door most of the way just to get into the shower.
The toiletries were nice and generously included swabs.
The toilet paper was cheap and thin. Does anyone really opt for that combination on purpose?
I booked on Priceline for $100/ night and $125/ night after taxes. Considering how hideously expensive Vancouver is that price made up for a multitude of sins against my wallet.
Room Tip: Ask for an even numbered room for a wonderful view. Tim Horton's is right across the street offe...

Wonderful hotel close to many attractions, walk to Stanley Park. One Block to the Hop-on-Hop-Off Trolley. Great restaurants walking distance from the hotel. Reasonable breakfast and great bar off the lobby.
Ask Bob W about Best Western Plus Sands
I am glad you had a wonderful stay at our hotel. Our 5.99 breakfast is very popular with hotel guest and locals in the westend. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip to Vancouver.
We stayed for 4 nights and had a room on the top floor with a balcony overlooking the street but had a small sea view. So close to Stanley Park and many eateries within walking distance. The hotel is a little dated, the walls are a bit thin so you could hear neighbors TV & shower but certainly it had everything we needed. Appreciated the free wifi. The shower didn't get very hot nor was the pressure great. Staff very helpful. A pleasant stay.

Thank You for taking time to review our hotel. I am glad you enjoyed the balcony room with a partial view from one of our balcony rooms. Unfortunately the hotel is an older property but we are continuously making efforts to upgrade the rooms. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Vancouver.
Eventful stay but I'd recommend it
my family (my wife, a 2 and 4 year old) arrived in the evening after the London flight and found there was a mix up between Expedia and the hotel and our 3 night booking was not booked in until the following day - so no hotel that night. I had also rung the hotel a month before to reserve a larger room with a sofa bed and there was no record of this.
Without going over the whole experience in detail, the reason I would give 4 stars is that all the staff took individual ownership, were helpful and courteous over the issues when I presented them to the front desk. They booked me in a different hotel which to be honest was better (the plaza around the corner) that first night, They also dropped a lot of charges, gave discounts and gave us extras like free breakfast (which I'd recommend) to make up for the errors. The hotel is also well located for the beach, (though the choice of local evening restaurants for children is limited). We chose to come back 2 weeks later and stay another 4 nights and they were also very welcoming the second time around (though they did recognise me - oops!). The rooms are a good size though I recommend paying the extra and getting one of the rooms with a sofa bed if you have 2 children as it gives more space in the room.
The only consistent fault I had was communication between individual members of staff was absent. I found myself having to repeat conversations to each new staff member on duty when I was assured information would be passed between staff on more than one occasion.
The second stay was trouble free. I'd recommend it for young families.
Room Tip: ask for a room with a sofa bed, it's worth the extra money.

Rock the Boat | H.J. Ruiz – Avian101
Posted on December 11, 2014 by avian101	In my last trip to Florida I saw a lot of this particular species of bird, the Boat-tailed Grackles are all over, in large flocks or small groups. They can eat anything that looks edible. They are smart birds and adapt to urban areas very well. Here I have some more information about this birds:
The Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae found as a permanent resident on the coasts of the southeastern United States. It is found in coastal saltwater marshes, and, in Florida, also on inland waters. The nest is a well-concealed cup in trees or shrubs near water; three to five eggs are laid.
Adult males have entirely iridescent black plumage, a long dark bill, a pale yellowish or brown iris and a long keel-shaped tail. The adult female is much smaller She is also distinguished by her shorter tail and tawny-brown coloration, which covers the body apart from the darker wings and tail.

Rocks daily: Any summer plan?
Any summer plan?
People from the weather bureau said that our Summer will be short and will not be as hot as our previous summers because of the La Nina phenomena. i think I love the "not too hot" summer but I still want a long summer please :(
With that, don't you think it's time to plan your summer outings so you'll have the most of it and won't ask "where's my summer gone" at the end of it?
For me, I still haven't plan anything yet, no confirmed bookings, no concrete plans but I am sure I'll head out to beach this summer and will have another swimming party for my niece and will definitely have an outing from the office and maybe from the church.. Water fun!!
I wanted to go back to Anawangin actually and see for mys elf if the place has still it's magic effect on me (I heard it's been commercialized and is not as nice as before) I hope it remains as serene and as mesmerizing like this
And also I want to visit a new place, I read from a yahoo blog post that Palaui Island in Cagayan is paradise and judging from the pictures they posted, it is indeed beautiful! I also wish I could try something like Nags Head vacation rentals but that have to wait til I get rich. :)
Sandee12:56 AMWe are going to boat like we do every summer. I just wish all these cold storms would go away and let it warm up. It's so very cold.Have a terrific day Rocks. :)ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

Frugal Family Travelers: May 2014
Who knew that waterfalls could be found right outside of St. Francisville, LA? When I think of waterfalls, Louisiana and Mississippi don't immediately come to mind!! However, just over the Louisiana border is Clark Creek Natural/Nature Area, located in Woodville, MS. Our Frugal Family Travelers love this spot for its unique topography and close driving distance. We recently spent the day here hiking and exploring several of the waterfalls. There are many trails in this area and it is truly a place where you can "choose your own adventure." There are seven waterfalls on the map. Our favorite adventure was hiking the creek bed to the base of one of the falls! This adventure was definitely a confidence builder for our Frugal Family Travelers and they felt such a sense of accomplishment from this experience! Our small travelers had a blast searching for the perfect walking stick and interesting rocks. If your family enjoys adventure, beautiful scenery and the amazing sound of falling water as it splashes on the rocks in its path, then plan a visit here! You will not be disappointed!
*Pack plenty of water and snacks!!
*Be aware that the area is quite hilly and hiking can be strenuous at times.
*There is an honor box in which to place a nominal fee!
*Trails are pet-friendly.
*Try to plan your trip after this area has had some significant rainfall. The waterfalls are more impressive!
*This is about a 2 hour drive from the New Orleans/Slidell, Louisiana area just outside of St. Francisville, LA.
Note: Future posts will discuss how to combine this location with others to make an entire Frugal Family vacation!!

Fun on the Bayou.........Camp Salmen Nature Park!!
Our Frugal Family Travelers LOVE to be outside! For this reason we are frequent visitors to the Camp Salmen Nature Park located just off HWY 190 in Slidell, LA. Nestled along the beautiful Bayou Liberty, this park has picturesque views! Wooded hiking trails, scenic bayou overlooks, a 200 year old French Creole cottage, draping oaks, and a beautiful playground are just some of the things your Frugal Family Travelers will discover here! There are lots of opportunities for discovery and this park requires no admission! Our kids loved climbing on the old oak trees and telling tales of ghosts living in the old cottage!
*Be sure to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy in one of the many picnic areas located throughout this extensive property.
*Small travelers may enjoy having a bug box!
*This park is being developed in phases so some of the trails are not well marked! Don't worry trail maps are available or talk with a park ranger on duty!
*Bring a camera......this is a great place for family photos!!
*There are geocaches nearby so if that is something you enjoy, be sure to check it out!!
*If you want to plan an even more exciting day of adventure for your Frugal Family Travelers, consider packing a bathing suit and hopping over to Heritage Park! It is a short driving distance away and offers a splash pad!
Note: More to come in future posts regarding splash pads, park hopping and geocaching!!

What family doesn't like to beat the summer heat? Yes, there are the community swimming pools and expensive water parks as options, but what about white water?

Our Frugal Family Travelers enjoyed swimming and frolicking in the white water for free! However, canoeing, tubing and cabins are available for a nominal fee. This excursion is not only guaranteed to please the kids and teens in your family but the adult travelers as well.
Tips: Bring sun screen, bug spray and tubes!
Note: D'Lo and Merit Water Parks are within a short driving distance of one another!

This was a fantastic spot for us: close enough to both Milwaukee and Madison to explore lots of Wisconsin. The house itself was lovely and Teri was so accommodating. She was able to meet us earlier on check-in day when our travel plans changed, and provided breakfast and tea; she really went above & beyond. There's lots of space to relax and reflect on the journey, and the neighborhood couldn't be safer. If you're looking for a home base in Wisconin, this is it!

Harriet Brewing’s Batch One | Barking Dog Beer
Harriet Brewing’s Batch One
Mmmm mmm. I had the chance earlier this week to crack the growler of “batch one” I got from Harriet Brewing on their opening day last weekend (check out my prior post for more detail). I can see how this could have been a mean IPA if the hop bill had been kicked up to meet the malt profile, but it sure is nice to have a smooth, subtle, thick IPA in the middle of winter here in Minneapolis. Tasted much like I remember it tasting when I visited our city’s newest brewery last weekend. I highly recommend and am looking forward to trying more of Jason Soward’s brews in the years to come.
The inaugural release of his Belgian style West Side IPA (which will be a different batch than I’ve sampled, one hopped as planned) will be just up Hiawatha from the brewery at the Blue Nile Restaurant and Lounge this coming Wednesday, February 9th. I plan to arrive thirsty.

Johnston is in bullish mood ahead of the all-Islander clash © Getty Images
Players/Officials: Census Johnston | Deacon Manu
Samoa prop Census Johnston has lit the blue touch paper ahead of Sunday's clash against Fiji calling on his side to "smash" their Islander neighbours.
Johnston's Samoa need to beat their fellow South Sea Islanders or be left facing an early exit from the tournament after last weekend's loss to Wales in Hamilton. Fiji are in an identical position - they play Wales on Sunday week - knowing victory would keep them in quarter-final contention.

Diandra Ann Photography: I ♥ Australia!
I ♥ Australia!
It's true... I really really do!
I was soooo fortunate to take the trip of a lifetime to Australia with my dad only a few short summers ago. We had a fabulous time! It was when I was first getting into photography, and I had a BLAST taking pictures of anything and everything that would stand still for me. And I chased a few things that wouldn't :)
I was looking back and realized that I never blogged the photos from that trip, as I wasn't even blogging at that point in my life! Can you believe it? A time when there was no blog? I know, crazy, right?
Well, this weeks I [heart] faces challenge was animal faces... and even though I LOVE my pups... I decided to go for the unusual. I had a chance to take LOTS of pictures of some AMAZING wild animals in their natural habitats while in Australia... and even though this photo was taken years ago when I was just starting out, I kind of love it. So here is my entry this week.
I have a couple more shoots this week that I am super excited about! I also did something totally crazy today that I cannot wait to share with you, and if you missed it, make sure you check out yesterday's blog... because it is maybe one of my favorites! Lots more coming soon!

Labels: animals, Contest, I ♥ Faces
oh what a WONDERFUL entry for this week's theme!
Seems like the travel shots are always last on the list, eh? I have some from so long ago I haven't blogged yet. :)
Such a great shot! You did a wonderful job!
Aww so cute! Havent seen one of these yet for any entry- unique!
That is the cutest thing ever! I just entered my first I heart faces contest today! How fun!

Larue County Register: Kentucky Gun Law Good Step Forward
In a bill that was overwhelmingly passed in March of 2012, and signed into law by Gov. Steve Beshear on April 11, 2012, residents of Kentucky can now carry a legal firearm in any local government building or property. The state House voted 88-8 to approve the measure, while the Senate approved it 34-2.
Now people can carry firearms in places like city hall, city council chambers, parks, and libraries, among other places.
Areas where firearms cannot be carried are prisons, jails, and schools. Colleges and universities can make their own rules concerning allowing firearms on their properties, per the law. Concerning judicial facilities, the judicial branch decides whether or not to put restrictions in place.
A separate state statute allows for cities to ban concealed firearms on their premises if they choose to. Concerning private businesses, they are also empowered to make the decision on whether or not to allow firearms on the property.
If you look at church facilities, there have been very few incidents now that it is widely known that trained people are ready and willing to bring down anyone trying to shoot up the congregation.
Also per the statute, it was made clear that only the state has the authority to regulate guns, not localities. Any local ordinances are now voided by the new law that has now been enacted.

Slums of Shaolin: Sukhothai
Sukhothai is a city in Northern Thailand, which I went to after visiting Chiang Mai. While Sukhothai and Chiang Mai both have a lot of old temples, for a tourist that's about as far as the relationship goes. Chiang Mai is a large vibrant city, with a large amount of attractions – actually, for most tourists, the nearby trekking is the highlight. Sukhothai is a one-horse provincial city that happens to be built next to the ruins of the ancient Thai capital and its numerous stone temples.
But that's not to denigrate these ruins – they date back seven hundred years, and in terms of beauty, convenience, and general pleasantness, if not scale, I ended up appreciating these ruins more than those of Angkor Wat, in Cambodia. The comparison isn't specious – I can't claim anthropological expertise, but many of the temples were built in the same time frame, at a time when the Khmer culture, from its capital in Angkor, dominated South-East Asian culture.
I don't want to delve too much into Thai history, I'll just attach a few of favorite pictures:
What also made my visit interesting was that I visited during a large festival, where people from all over Thailand flooded into the city, and at night the ruins were lit up. I found all the celebrations very underwhelming, honestly, but it contributed to a festival-type atmosphere.
I ended up staying in a very nice, low-key guest house called “No. 4 Guest House,” for the grand total of about $6 per night. I grabbed the last room, and I was afterwards told by another guest that it was the only place in town with rooms left - I guess I narrowly avoided disaster! Despite being not too far off the main road, there were a number of rural Thai-style houses nearby, and it was overlooking farmland - temporarily flooded, I'd guess for the production of rice.
