Glim Future

Site Journey who owned Terapad is now closed.
Terapad sites are now being operated by another company but the future for Terapad remains glim and dark and most likely will no longer be.
The domain name Terapad runs out in April 2013.
Users were not notified by email, however a news release was issued by the company who saved Terapad temporarily, dated January 13, 2013, for those who saw it (some users still in the dark). There is no longer Terapad support and the system is WYSIWYG and no guarantees of up time. The service at present is as is, use at your own risk. No new accounts can be opened.
I closed comments long ago due to spam and now they will never be opened again.
I came to Terapad shortly after they opened, won a blog free for life in a contest (did not have to pay the monthly fees) and now I will leave 6.5 years later with a forwarding URL when I get done moving items as there are no export tools nor will their be.
While on the subject of a glim future, the same goes for Posterous accounts (bought out by Twitter last year) although they have added export tools to make things easier for bloggers to move on.
Reliable blog sources: Blogger, Wordpress, LiveJournal, Weebly, Yola.

The Olympics were great! Things are back to normal and I am not glued to the TV set.
I have to catch up cleaning the house. Got quite a bit done today.
The weather has been fine, not too hot, or cold sometimes humid.
The dog is still with us but at 15, we know her time is coming. Gave us a scare but she is back to her chipper self.
School starts next week!
So much to do

Time flies! I have spent so much time driving around, it is ridiculous.
dd finished year one of college.
ds graduates next week then on to high school (a long four years I predict).
One of our dogs turned 15 and gave us a scare. We have had to come to terms of eventually having to put her down. Always a hard decision but she has been a very loving, loyal and true companion. For now, it is one day at a time.
I hope I can clean the house! Rather hard to do when no one ever leaves the house and I am alone here to focus and concentrate without interuptions!
May 1st: Celebrate Mother Goose Day

Yes, it is Mother Goose Day, May 1st every year.
To celebrate -- read a few nursery rhymes to your favorite child.
One of the games I use to play with my fifth grade library classes was list ten nursery rhymes working together as a team. They would be put into groups of five or six students. I then asked them to list ten nursery rhymes on a paper. Usually out of six groups, only one group would have a complete and correct list. Pretty sad.
Nursery rhymes are very important for children to learn.
It helps them greatly with pre-reading skills.
So read a few to a special child or if you have your own children, select one and repeat it for a week. Then pick a new one each week.
Mother Goose Society -- the official page with lots of ideas and activities.
Happy Thanksgiving!

My brother made this video as a tribute to WWII Veterans.
The song (When Day is Done) is sung by my Mom and her sister who were semi-professional singers and were "just kids" then. They made a few records.
Both of them have passed on but I think they would be thrilled to know that they made a "blog worthy post".
Thank you Veterans!

Irish Poem -- Happy St. Pat's Day

There's no place quite like Ireland,
there's no place quite so green~
Where blue-green sea meets emerald hills,
to make a lovely scene,
Where shamrocks poke their sleepy heads
through drops of morning dew,
And jade-green leaves dance happily
against the sky of blue-
There's no place quite like Ireland,
there's no place quite so fair,
And many hearts though far away,
always linger there.
Wishing you a joy filled St. Patrick's Day!

The nights are sure getting chilly around here. Several nice pleasant fall days after the cold rain and gusty winds for a week. Most of the leaves have fallen and it is clean up time. Finally the garage door got fixed (spring broke last month, took a long time for the part to come in) and the tractor can be taken out!
We were in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts this past week and actually saw little clumps of snow on the ground!
Snow is not my favorite thing but it is coming.
