After 3 years, 9 months, and 14 days of service, my old Personal Blog is being retired. That's right... the blog you're reading right now, right here, is no more, starting July 4th. No more news will be posted here.

All is not lost! A new blog is taking this blog's place: Ginalog. Hop on over there to see the first post.

So be sure to update your bookmark. Because there will be plenty of news...

See you all over at the new blog!

I was a little disappointed with last night's Oscars ceremony because Little Miss Sunshine (my favorite film for 2006) didn't win a Best Picture Oscar... Anyway, I'm so glad the film was nominated and I am trilled to see it win two Oscars for Best Original Screenplay (Michael Arndt) and Best Supporting Actor (Alan Arkin).

Summer is almost over... It's time for falling leaves, for cool fall mornings and evenings.

But this past weekend was an absolute blast! About 83 degrees and sunny... Just perfect for swimming!!! Saturday we spent at the pond (Mendums), Sunday--at the beach (The Singing). The weather was perfect, and so was the water... Such a great way to end the Summer and to say goodbye to all the exciting activities that come with it...

We had the most wonderful weekend of the entire Summer!

Hello Autumn... but not for a few more days... the actual Autumnal Equinox is not until September 23...

This past Sunday I enjoyed the view above water from my kayak... completely mesmerized by the silence, the warm, turquoise water of the pond, and the sound of my own paddle moving through the water. Dreamy... Heavenly... I only wish I could have taken more pictures.

Redesigning a large website can be an overwhelming task, demanding much effort and expense. In some cases, the re-design can do real damage. Here is an interesting article on this topic. It shows that even a task of such magnitude can be achieved... if taken step-by-step... in small portions.
