More on the trip later.  I’m sitting at the town pool like a complete loser, typing on the computer with a towel draped over my head.  I was so excited when they started offering WIFI at the pool, but it hadn’t occurred to me that the bright, beautiful sun would make looking at … [Read more…]

Kids Eat Free in the Capital District

Wimp-out Post

I was busy all day, and we have guests spending the night–four little girls are piled up in J’s room.  So I’m wimping out and sharing another blog with you instead.  Saratoga Woods and Waterways has lovely photographs and descriptions of local natural wonders.  Recently, there was a whole series of cute pictures of a … [Read more…]

Just, Like, 50 or 60 Things to Do This Week

Tons going on, again.  Here’s what I’ve found: All Week: Annie Get Your Gun continues at the Park Playhouse on Tuesday the 6th at 8 pm. The Animation Festival at Proctors continues through Friday.

Phew! Anyone Else Exhausted?

I updated the weekly post with a bunch of new items, so you should check it out again. There’s so much going on.  I’m a little torn, because I was all set to go to SPAC for the Ballet Family Night on Friday, but then I remembered that we promised Fireworks in Schenectady.   And then, … [Read more…]
