My Entry For the Kia Sorento Ultimate Road Trip Sweepstakes

If I could take my family on a road trip anywhere it would be to the East Coast. It would have to be a very long trip because I would want to spend several days in every area. I'd like to start in New England. When I was a teenager my mother had a subscription to a magazine and there was a column written by Gladys Taber (I have no idea how I remember the name - it was 50 years ago). That column was so descriptive of the area in all seasons. I think she lived in either Maine or Vermont. I even thought her description of being snowed in for weeks during the winter was wonderful.
Then I would have to stop at all the historical cities, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and on through Virginia and into the Carolinas.
As long as we were in the general area I couldn't miss spending some time in Georgia where a noted art center bears my maiden name. I wonder if I would find any long lost relatives there.
A detour through the beautiful Smoky Mountains would get us headed back toward the midwest and home. I've had this dream for a long time. Perhaps some day I can convince my grandchildren to do all the driving and I'll get my dream road trip.

Ending today is a great giveaway. Save money and be eco-friendly with the Fountain Jet Soda Starter Kit. Using regular tap water you can make your own sodas. Take a look at Because I Said So! Mom Knows Best!

Favorite summer images

I love summer. I don't like cold weather any more so I dream of the days when I was able to go to the beach. Now that I live in the midwest that isn't possible unless I vacation along the coast. One of my favorite photos was the wedding my my grandson and his lovely bride. They are such an awesome couple.
My grandson and great grandson spend a lot of time with me so shots of them together are some of my favorites.

For a chance to win a Dyson vacuum head over to Mom in the City.

The Review Broads: Book Review & Giveaway - Swimsuit: "Betty"

I am probably one of the very few who don't have a pair of Crocs. In fact, I have never even tried on a pair. I've been told how comfy they are, how your feet just don't get tired and how much I would love them so my goal is to get my first pair of Crocs. When I read this story on the Crocs Blog I knew I just had to get a pair.
I am planning a nice vacation this fall with lots of walking involved. My new Crocs will be a valuable part of that trip. I visualize them walking through the streets of Orlando, in the water park at Universal Resorts and trekking through the streets of DisneyWorld. I want my Crocs to have adventure. So I am entering the contest at Coffee With the Mrs to win my very own pair.

BETTER LIFE Great Green Giveaway at http://www.alternativeconsumer.com/2009/05/12/better-life-great-green-giveaway

I've recently been very frustrated with Google reader. I subscribe to many blogs and enter a lot of the contests. Every day I go to the reader and check for my name. So far it is been great - that is until it failed to show a nice little win from The Mom Buzz. I found it a day late when I cleaned out my old emails one by one. Erin doesn't send reminders and I don't blame her. There are far too many giveaways to keep sending emails when you don't get a response.
My frustration is with the reader. Why didn't it pick up my name when it was posted? Even now when I go back and check again it still isn't picking it up. My guess is that when the winners are listed on the original post reader isn't programmed to re-read the post.
Well, I guess I just can't take any shortcuts. I'll just have to read each and every email whether it looks like a throwaway or not.

Look for a great new contest at Happily Forever After. Win a $50 Amazon card or other great prize. Go to http://booklover125.blogspot.com/2009/05/her-ladyships-companion-giveaway.html to enter.

Hamburger Pie - One of my favorite easy recipes

INGREDIENTS
* 4 potatoes
* 1 pound lean ground beef
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
* 1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained
* 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and quarter potatoes, and introduce into boiling water; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion until beef is brown. Drain. Stir in tomato soup and green beans. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish. Mound mashed potatoes in a ring around the meat mixture (do not cover meat). Sprinkle potatoes with shredded cheese.
4. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes, until potatoes are golden.

I purchased this printer off ebay knowing that it was refurbished. It is an all-in-one but not like the great piece it replaced. Unfortunately I had totally worn the other one to the ground. It would barely turn on.
I guess when you can't afford to pay a lot you can't expect the best, but I have been sooo disappointed. It is slow, it uses ink like there is no tomorrow and when I scan to fax the copy is barely legible on the other end. Half the time I have to either email a copy of the fax or worse yet, send a copy by USPS. Well it has been said you get what you pay for.
I desperately need a new printer that will do the things I need it to do without having to double my efforts with email and postal mail.
I am entering the contest to win and if you need a new excellent printer you should enter too. Head over to http://nateandjakeandme.blogspot.com/2009/04/epson-printer-giveaway-and-review.html to win a great new printer from Epson. http://www.epson.com/america_north.html
