Likes # 6 ~ Creative Problem Solving

Based on the number of "likes" posted, one would assume the Carey family cares for very little! However, allow me to justify the lack of posts as the result of the start of Legislative Season of the state of Father's consulting business (how's that for confusing?).

That said, I've decided to solve the problem creatively (hence the title of this post). The series of "Likes" will continue until the end of the Legislative Season.

As the Careys are a family of a great many likes, this should prove interesting.

...hopefully....

Likes #5 ~ The Kincells


The Kincell Family contains five of our favorite people. Kiri, Keely, and Kelsie are very dear friends of Mia, Kate, and myself, while Mother and Father relish the company of Mr. and Mrs. Kincell. We have known them for many, many years, mostly interacting in the homeschool arena (and they don't generally look like this).


The Kincells are a blogging family and have a well-written and enjoyable blog named The Kincell Family Blog which they have been writing since Jamestown’s Quadricentenial.


Last August, Mia, Kate, and I traveled to their house to spend a week of laughter, discussion, and historical exploration. The Kincells live in a history-rich area, and we vistors reveled in visiting as many sites as we could.

First, we visited Fort Necessity, Braddock's grave, and spots along The National Road. The next day we studied Arthurdale. I believe it was the first American Federal Government funded utopia. Friday found us at Friendship Hill, and Albert Gallatin's House. On our last day of historical exploration, we visited the Kincell Family favorite - Prickett's Fort. Oh, we had such fun! And... We hope to return the favor. Our area is stuffed with history, which we long to learn and share (we also want to sew and stitch together).

Likes # 2 - Being Tagged!

The Morton Maidens of the Morton Household Blog tagged me! I’ve always wanted to be tagged!
The rules are:
1. go to your documents/pictures.
2. go to your 5th file.
3. go to your 5th picture.
4. blog about it.
5. tag 5 people …...
And this is the result:
Striking, no?
Nearly two years ago, we Careys embarked on the experience that is Ebay. It didn’t last very long – I personally didn’t find the effort compensated for our returns, and I don’t particularly care for the fees. We took a great many pictures in preparation for selling a variety of items and objects that had been freely bestowed upon us. Half of them were never posted. I’m not sure what became of these patterns and others like them. If we still own them, they will probably be posted on Etsy where the fees and terms are much, much better.
There.

Likes #1 ~ Molly

As this is the month of Valentine's Day, I thought that it would be fun to post many of the things I (and my family) like/love in no particular order.

Here is the first item: Molly, the newest member of our family, sleeping on Mia's lap. Don't they look contented?

This is also an experiment with YouTube and Vimeo. I'd like to know what you all think of these online video providers and how they compare.
