2 Weeks ago was the annual Spencer Picnic and yes, I’m finally getting around to posting about it. We go every year. I haven’t missed a year that I can remember, honestly. I even worked it one year.
This year, they had a bit of a different line-up and their entertainment Friday night was the George Kaye band. They play country music, they’re not too bad, but I’ve heard much better. We listened for a while then got bored and wandered around a bit, played some games, enjoyed the cool evening. When it got later on in the evening, we headed back to where we had parked at the edge of the park to wait for the fireworks to begin.
I didn’t take many pictures. I didn’t bother with any on the grounds, especially since the batteries in my camera were starting to fade and I wanted to make sure they didn’t totally die on me. My favorite, however, is one that I took with the camera on sepia. I played around with the settings some and just absolutely loved the way this looked.
The one thing I don’t understand is where some people get the energy they have. I’ve noticed that the crowd for Music in the Park and for the music at Spencer Picnic was much the same, an older crowd, really. Some of them seem to have more energy than the young kids. One couple was celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary and they were dancing up a storm. It’s amazing. I wish I had the energy they do.

Okay, I know I’m way behind on posting and my ‘to post about‘ list keeps getting longer. I’m sorry, I just haven’t felt up to posting a whole lot lately. I’m going to work on at least this update, though.
I went to the doctor on the 15th for a checkup. I needed new prescriptions and it’d been since April since I’d been in. I went, got yelled at for walking out on the last batch of blood work, got told I needed to have blood drawn the following week. I asked for something to help me sleep and something for my allergies. I got an anti-histamine that is supposed to help with both problems. They work okay for the allergies. They work kind of okay for sleeping.
I had one really violent reaction to them earlier this week because I was fighting off going to sleep after taking it. I had the worse flu-like symptoms, shaking, shivering, burning up. I’ve been fine ever since, but man that was wicked.
Rob is doing well with his diabetes, thankfully. He’s doing great with the change of diet and I’m working on cooking things that are much more diabetic friendly than I have been.
Health is overall at a good level here for now. Thank god.
Anyone who wants to have a blog or a website of any sort should consider hosting it themselves with their own domain. But in order to do that, you have to have a web host unless you have your own server. The question is, however, which one is the best? It’s pretty hard to determine, but if you read the reviews from people who use the hosts, it’s easier.
What’s even better is not having to search for the reviews and having a site like Web Host Rating that gives you all the information about price, space, user reviews about multiple sites so that people can get the best deal for their needs. You can’t dive on the first deal you see because you can get burnt so easily. What looks good on the outside, may not be so good when you open up the package.
