Dept. 56 Houses

It's that time....the Halloween Houses must come down and the Christmas ones readied to go up.  I have to wait a couple of days to put Christmas up since Mike's (and our) new television set is being delivered on Thursday and the houses sit above the area where it will be going.  He is getting a set that is 'internet ready' with a Google box that will allow him to use the t.v. as his computer and surf, etc. while he is watching t.v. or just surfing on a 55" screen!  He better be careful at what e-mails he opens in the public viewing area...

IPad

Do you have an IPad?  I don't know if I could do without one now that I have experienced life with one.  I love it!  I love having the world at my fingertips no matter where I am.  I love having my notes easily accessible, my recipes in my purse when I'm at the grocery store and that's not even touching on the fact that my books, magazines, quilting journals and so much more are always ready to be read.  Oh yes, I can do my banking, pay my bills, look at quilts, read blogs, look at he beautiful faces of my family, edit and share photos.....need I say more?!  It's one of those things I would replace immediately if something happened to it.
