Switching to different blog publisher

I am switching my blog to wordpress. I like the look of blogspot, but wordpress has more possibilities for multiple pages. I may switch back to blogspot but why not try other looks? Once I am really "retired" I will learn more about all this stuff, so I can have a site that has the look I like.

Two blogs for different threads.
One for random thoughts, the former blogspot blog: http://jbtwo.wordpress.com/
One for sifting through the past: www.judithblack.wordpress.com

Happy Spring!!!

From this morning's Globe...

Can't resist passing on this wonderful bit of advice from the Globe's Handyman advice column. I've always been bothered by the sound of little feet on the roof. This should keep the birds off, too. A very medieval solution to pesky animals!

Q. How can I keep squirrels from jumping on my roof? Also, a glass of red wine was spilled on my new sand-colored carpet. I immediately poured white wine onto the spot, and the red disappeared, but it left a dark spot. How can I remove it?

A. 1. You can’t. Well, maybe, but it is expensive. Line the edges of the roof with a needle board (long sharp nails driven through a wood board with the points facing up). You may find that you would have to cover the whole roof, so if I were you, I would live with them. 2. Try soap or detergent and water and thorough rinsing. Or, one of the new carpet cleaners on the market: One new one is Scotchgard Oxy Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner with Stain Protector.

Thank you, Peter Horton, for a morning laugh.

While having lunch in Italy....

Homer appeared on the TV screen. We realized that we had seen the episode before, but not in Italian. And we don't watch the Simpson's that often! Lunch was very good, though.

My sister Tina in New Zealand came across this pic on a calendar.
Would you believe there are two?

This is way too cool!

I'm "wasting" time learning how the Picasa program works. I've made a small album of photos from Italy. AND I can tag them with a location on Google maps!! Will add to the album as I have time to upload and tag. This is too much fun. Not sure what it is good for in the long run, but now you can see where the photo was taken on the map.
