i'm still not very good at this,

this blog thing.  i at least have figured out how to get pictures from flicker into my blog (finally) but they do appear a bit on the small side. AND apparently if i used them in more than one spot, they go wonky. so, if you want to see them in a bigger way OR you see a blank box, click on it and it will take you where the picture is.

what do you do when you can't afford to travel?

and what is your answer? 

i'm waiting. 

take your time. 

ok. this is what i do. i make my friends, on penalty of death and dismembership (yes, i am a toughie), take pictures of their travels and share them with me...it is altogether better when they have a blog with pictures and stories! 

so if i've missed your travels and neglected your blog...or don't even know you have one (curses), please update me. 

what? 

how will you know i have been there? 

please, what kind of appreciator would i be if i did not make comments? 

that would be rude! my mother of 3 daughters would never approve of those manners! she would have my head in a hand basket for sure.

ps...what is a hand basket...uck, a basket full of hands? 

never mind.
