Well, the day is nearly upon us! But before I clarify that statement, I first want to apologize to all my readers who may have received notifications about blog posts that were basically TEST postings. I’ve not been overly satisfied with Google Feedburner’s email notifications. Those are limited to those who subscribe and go through all the rigamarole of acknowledgements. But I know in the past numerous people read my blog because they received notification via Twitter or Facebook that there was a new post.
Then, about a year ago, I was digging around under the hood of my WordPress sportster and apparently cut the wrong cable or something, because those posts stopped going out to Twitter and Facebook.
No big deal, I thought. But, as I indicate it IS a big deal because people who used to enjoy reading my blogs no longer can. That has made me a bit unhappy! When I went to reconnect those wires (you do understand there are no wires, I’m speaking rhetorically, right?) I can’t find where that setting was.
I’ve had to download and install two plugins, “Simple Facebook Connect” and “Simple Twitter Connect”. Except those are anything BUT simple! They basically have lines like “Just download and activate!” Except they don’t tell you that between downloading, activating, and getting it to work is another HUGE list of steps one must go through!
So, that explains all the tests. You may have gotten none of them, and if so great! Or you may have just seen one or two. If so, I AM sorry. About 20 went out; if anyone received all 20, oops. MY BAD and I am really, really, REALLY sorry!
But, I think I’m done, now!
Okay, now on to the really big news! We are only 2 days away from our takeoff to England! I didn’t want to post the dates until I had a few more arrangements made, but as of this evening, our dear friends David & Tony are now ensconced in our guest room! They’ll be house sitting for us in our absence! Yay! And Nikki and Ixchel will be taken to the home of our friends Cindy & Juline tomorrow night where they shall frolic with 4 other puppies for the next two weeks!
As usual, it is my hope to post here on a near daily basis, a sort of travelogue describing our trip. Scott and I plan on taking about a million photos, and those will be posted as close to daily as we can at:

So check both our blog and our photo album out daily!
