Global Journaling
<a href="http://1000journals.com/526/index_1.htm">A fantastically interesting (warning - will suck MAJOR time) website.</a> This guy sent out 1000 blank journals with instructions for people to write in them and to take them somewhere else.
<a href="http://1000journals.com/526/index.htm">This is the first journal that he sent out</a> (of 1000) that made it back to him. He has scanned the pages of what people wrote/drew. Fascinating.
There is a new game that is similar to the above called <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/">Geocaching</a>. Looks like a lot of fun. I actually discovered that there are cache sites right here in Sicily! I learned of this from a book a friend forwarded to me called <a href="http://www.ritagoldengelman.com/">Adventures Of A Modern Female Nomad</a>. I would love to take off and do what this author has done after my children leave home! In the meantime, we will have to save our pennies (like 30,000 of them!) to buy a GPS gizmo to play the game. I think it would be a great education tool for the boys and a lot of fun too.
If you are clicking on the link to this webpage from within the email that gets sent, you are not seeing the whole webpage. I have links to family photos on the main page. Either go to www.debcodding.com/blog or just click on "main" at the top of the page. I will be putting new pictures up soon, I promise.
And Grandma - congratulations on finally being "allowed" by your computer to make a comment!!! Yeah! I am truly hoping to change this website layout to make it pretty (it is ugly now, I know) and make it compatible with many other computers. It doesn't like Netscape very much right now.

Debbie..Thanks for letting me know I have finally made it! I keep getting mail returned messages with identifications that don't match with anything I know about. Therefore was not sure if any of my messages to you ever went through.
The globe travel thing sounds interesting..but who has the time? /It's a good thing I'm retired, or I wouldn't get anything done at all! I'm separating pictures by families. etc. so that when I leave this world, darling shots of the kids will be passed on. Not being morbid, but after dealing with Irene's situation, decided I better shape up and get my "stuff" in some kind of order. What's the landscape like? Is there lots of good wine available locally? What about navy sponsored trips around the area. Can you make the most of your time there, and act like a tourist part of the time? Glad the nanny has worked out to be friendly and fun. Talk to you later. Love Gramma.
P,S. I leave for Illinois for a visit to your Dad, Doris, Marilyn and Bill on Wed. June 18th back on Sunday the 22nd. Short and Sweet!
