Cape Kennedy Space Center

Do you have a life long dream? I have always wanted to go to the moon. I took pictures of the t.v. screen when they were walking on it. If they go back, I hope they will take me with them.

If you are inteested in space travel, this site might interest you. I visited the Kennedy Space Center many years ago. It was fascinating and I am ready to go again. For now, I will just have to spend time on it's website.

There it will let you know when rockets of all kinds are going up. There is also history of the site and even an interactive area.

If you like space exploration, go spend some time here.

Sri Lanka

This morning while getting ready for church, I had the t.v. on. I was drawn to it when they showed a waterfall in Sri Lanka. I had to come to the computer and see what else I could find. I think you will be pleased with this site. If you are interested in learning about other countries, there are facts and information as well. If all you want to do is "sight see" online, there are plenty of pictures. I am really happy with this site.

They were affected by the tsunami but appear to be recovering quite well.

I know that I am going to spend a lot of time on this site

I hope you will look it over. It is fun to learn about other places. The world is so much smaller than it used to be.

Glacier National Park Photo Gallery

I was looking for pictures of Glacier National Park for you and found this site. It is commercial. However, they have clickable pictures that enlarge. And, there are quite a few of them.

If you want some pretty scenery, go here

Sorry this is so short. I am going back to the pictures. I love the scenery. I am in Florida and don't see many mountains.

Newspapers Online

It is Sunday and I want to read Garfield. Because of a neck and shoulder injury it is uncomfortable to try to handle the newspaper. That is how I found these so long ago. The listing is part of RefDesk, but I thought it important enough to let you know how to find the newspapers. You might want to read the comics, too. LOL

Of course, I know you want more than the comics and it is there. Just click on the newspaper that you want to see. In most cases, you will get everything that is in the print version. Online, there is a lot of extras, too.

The newspaper listings are broken down into cities in the United States and also foreign countries. There are also some other categories.

We can read the paper again.

The Alamo

When I was a twelve year old, I lived in San Antonio for a short time. I remember seeing the Alamo. Then, it seemed so large. Now, when I look at pictures of it, it seems so small. LOL

I found this site When I realized how much time I wanted to spend on it, I knew it was one I had to share.

There is the history of the Alamo on it. Also, there is a gift shop. When I found it, I knew I was in trouble. I found all kinds of things there. I am in serious trouble if I keep looking there. LOL There were miniatures of the building, all kinds of books and lots more. When I saw cook books I got out of there real quick. I will go back and look, I am sure.

Oh, and if you homeschool there is an area for you. I am so excited at how many sites are doing that.

If you cannot go see this, at least spend some time on the site. It will get you away for a little while.

History - St. Augustine, Florida

I was looking for the sites for the usual places to visit in St. Augustine when I stumbled upon this one. I will put the links for the other sites in the side bar but wanted to share this one with you.

It is all history and one that I want to go back and study. If you love history, please go look also. It covers history of the city from the beginning. And, there are so many links to other aspects of it.

I am feeling like I want to explore other parts of the country so there is no telling what else I am liable to add to this blog. If you have some ideas please let me know. I love to learn about new places.

World Is Round

I found this site in my never ending quest to find out information about the area of Tokyo, Japan that I lived in way back in the early 50's.

It is called World Is Round

Of course, the first pictures that I looked at were all of the ones of Tokyo. Then, I started finding pictures of other areas we had visited.

This is a site where members post their travel photos. Anyone can become a member. There are photos from all over the world. I could spend hours there. I am going through the photos from the countries in Europe now.

Armchair Travel is very easy on this site.

Online Groups

Do you belong to any online groups? Over the years, I have belonged to several.

I remember a long time ago I belonged to a group that focused on professional ice skaters. It was just for fun but helped us keep up with our favorites.

Another time, I belonged to a group for hibiscus growers. I believe it is still active. I just started running out of time. Of course, there are groups for other flowers, too.

Now, only because I belong to the Christian Writers Group, do I know about the groups at Yahoo I will go searching for more and put them in the sidebar.

While looking at the main page for Yahoo, I see they have it broken down into sixteen main categories. I can only imagine how many sub categories and then groups there are.

If you are looking for people with like interests to keep in touch with, this may be your answer. Go look for your interests and see what you find.

When You Don't Want To Cook and You Cannot Get Out

I mentioned that problem to a friend in another city one day and she mentioned Schwan's. I had never heard of it nor did I know such businesses existed. Now, all of you may be way ahead of me but humor me. There may be others.

She told me to check and see if I couid get it here. I could. I do not drive and our one and only restaurant out here had closed. All of a sudden, I did not have to cook everything I ate. I longed to eat out. Our only grocery store is a mile and a half away and I do not drive. I have walked it but cannot do it all the time.

So, I looked for the Schwan's website. Ice cream and meals already to just heat up in the oven and fruits and vegetables and on and on. This was just what I needed. I think I bought too much the first time but my freezer was full. And, I did not have to pull it home in my cart. Yippee!

If you want someone to cook for you and deliver it frozen to your door, try them. I have my favorites and some things I won't order again. It is just my personal taste. I think the quality is good and it keeps me out of the kitchen when I would rather eat crackers and peanut butter than cook.

Oh! just as another idea when I cook I cook a lot and put the leftovers in t.v. dinner trays set up as meals. I have my own homemade t.v. dinners and I like them. Then, I can eat my own cooking when I don't feel like cooking. That way there are no science projects growing in the refrigerator.

Hopi House

I just found out about Hopi House Having some Native American in me, I was drawn to it immediately. I also studied about the Hopis in elementary school so long ago in California. Dad was stationed there.

I heard about it on the ETV network and immediately came to my computer to see what I could find out about it.

This particular site has some nice pictures and lots of links. It also has good information. I did not check out any of the links. If you are interested in this type of thing check this site and it's links out.

Yellowstone National Park

Let's go spend the day at Yellowstone. I love this site.

There are three cams on this particular page. They are not links. If you don't feel like doing any more than going to the link I have provided, you can see three pretty pictures of Yellowstone.

Now, if you want to explore more the possibilities are endless.

There is a cam link. The Old Faithful cam is listed by itself but in the same listings.

Interested in wildlife? There is a bear sightings link and a bear stories link. They are both rather old but still interesting. I also saw a wolf link.

If you are interested in birds there is a link for that, too.

There are so many more links but I cannot remember them all.

I do remember that there is a link to the North Rim and I know there are more interesting things over there.

Go have some fun and spend part of the day in the park.

Magazines Online

Do you find it difficult to handle magazines? Did you know that a lot of them have a web presence now? Quite some time back I started looking for them. I enjoy them so much online.

I will not try to embed links as I mention different ones that I am familiar with. This computer is just being to cranky for me to try that. I am spending way to much time trying to get back online after it kicks me off. But, I will try to get them embeded as soon as I can (Even if it is one at a time.) I will also put a list of them in the side bar. I cannot guarantee a time line on either.

I started out with Better Homes and Gardens and from there added it's sister magazines. One of them is Ladie's Home Journal.

I also have Southern Living and one featuring the Midwest.

The four I have already mentioned have wonderful recipes and a feature so that you can have your own recipe box online.

There is also National Geographic. What I love most about it is the Picture of the Day. I have downloaded many of them. I mix them along with some of my own photos to create my own screen saver. It is so much better than any of the screen savers that I have seen elsewhere. And, it is fun to change it. I have about 200 pictures on it now.

I also have Women's Day, Family Circle, Reader's Digest and Oprah's magazine in my magazine folder.

Check your favorites in the search engines and see if they are online. You might be surprised at what you find. If you send me your favorites, I will put them on the link list to share with others.

So You Wish You Could Travel

I suspect most of you already are aware of this site. However, for those of you who are not, I want the rest of you to know of it.

EarthCam has been a lot of fun.

I use it a lot as I am writing articles for my blogs. I use it a lot when I just want to relax and "visit" another place. I have seen sunsets in Oklahoma City, been all over Washington D.C., all over London, and even vitited zoos without leaving my computer. There are beautiful landscapes all the way from the mountains to the oceans.

You can see Niagra Falls and Old Faithful. And, the list goes on and on. There is even a list of new cams.

Spend some time with it and I suspect you will be back often.
