Happy Easter, Christmas Cruisers!

Question for the IPOD users about downloading books. I was just on Amazon.com and I saw books available for "Microsoft Reader download" and "Adobe Reader" download. What kind of reader does the IPOD download? I haven't gotten one yet.

You can only use audio books - I use www.Audible.com

There are ways to put some text books on the iPod, but I don't think that is what you meant..... Most people are talking about the audio books from Audible - you can also download most of them from the iTunes music store. If you decide to try audible - let me know and I'll send you a referral which let's you try a couple for free....

We love audible here. Dh has a subscription and KT has her OWN subscription for HER iPod (thank you, Virgil!)

We actually just got home from our Easter dinner/visit at Mike's dad's and listened to an audible on the way home (The Uglified Ducky by Willy Clafin---AWESOME storyteller, DCL should get him for some shows!)

Banfi Update-

BJ's Wholesale Club has it for $16 per bottle. The store in Raleigh NC had some until my neighbor Mike bought every bottle they had. We now have a good supply in the neighborhood and are ready for the next hurricane.

Morning all!

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday! Ours was pretty quiet. It was DD's 13th birthday. Officially a teen now! We had a few friends go up with us to the mall in DC and visit the Rainforest Cafe, then we went and saw Pacifier. It was a good choice for the age.

Jim, I hope you and the family have a safe trip and much better weather than we've had lately! Fort McHenry is a really wonderful place to visit!

Have a good week everyone! Lisa

Morning All! We had a real gully washer yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!! Thunder, Lightning, Wind. Today is supposed to be breezy and in the 60s.

Happy Birthday to the New Teen!


And condolences to you, Lisa. Actually, 13 isn't that bad. Now to see what 14 is like! Our DD hits that one in two weeks.

So Jim, you cleared out BJ's. That is one we don't have here. I've been looking for it at Sam's Club, no luck. We still have 11 bottles from the case I bought online though.

Virgil, thanks! I remember that it was you talking about Ipod books now. So, do you all have speakers for your Ipod like Virgil, or do you have multiple earphones when you share books on trips? This sounds like something we will need to investigate, since there might be more road trips in our future.

Hi !! Just bumpin' !!

 

[tkd lisa]

Thanks Diana!

Stace, I saw that you got 1000 on the 06 10 day thread. You pirate you!

Sue, glad you survived the storm. It wasn't so bad down here. Lots of rain, but we missed the worst of it.

Have a great day everyone!

Well, we all use earphones normally, but if it's an audiobook that we're all interested in during a trip we use an iTrip (it's a device that sends a signal to the car radio - you can also buy cables to put it directly into the car stereo).

We had a beautiful Spring day here yesterday - getting up to 70 degrees. We are supposed to have a nice morning and then storms tonight. Enjoying it while we can.

We are finally getting our rains that went south all winter. We are not liking it, but we do need it. Snowing in the Cascade Mountains FINALLY!

Morning all. I think spring's finally here! Temps about 60, with sunny skies. The trees and daffodils are blooming. Of course that means the pollen's on it's way too!

I wanted to share a "good mom" story if you want to hear it.

As I mentioned, DD turned 13 on Sunday. I got tickets for her and me to see the musical "Wicked" in New York. I had told her a couple of weeks ago that her gift started with a T, so she's guessed everything under the sun.

Anyway, Friday, I made up a little scavenger hunt for her to find her tickets. When she finally got them, she said "Tickets! Now what are they for?......." Then quietly she says "Wicked??? Mom, you got me tickets to see Wicked???? I just can't believe it. I though it was sold out all summer long? Great big hug and she says "You're the BEST Mom!" I was in absolute tears. The chorus from "Butterfly Kisses" kept running through my mind. For those who don't know it, it's from a Dad's point of view, but one section says "with everything I've done wrong, I must have done something right. To have your hugs every morning, and butterfly kisses at night".

Anyway, just wanted to share! Have a great day everyone.

Keep the warm weather there. We are coming to that part of the country this weekend. Actually, 60's degrees. Can't you warm it up a bit? That's pretty cold.

We will be the family with our coats on!

Lisa - Love the story, thanks.
