On The Road To Ruin

I made this short little clip about a year ago, but thought it was still relevant. I have been inspired by Ryanne to post a video a day this month. I probably won't be able to post one every day, but gonna give it a shot. I have soooo much footage to choose from. Cheers!

nn nnnnWatch the videonn nThe last four years seem to have flown by.....and on a rainy week-end in Vermont, Ashley's family gathered to watch her last day at Bennington College.n ncom-mence-ment, noun = 1. a formal beginning 2. the ceremony of graduationnn

nn nnnnWatch the videonn Most Sunday mornings I go to Isaiah's for breakfast with my friend, Boyd.? We make pigs of ourselves with the "Hungry Man's Special" and listen to the amazing repetoire of the talented Joy Pereira.? A good time is had by all!n

IndirecTVn n Watch the video n Okay, this one's a little long so stick with it if you can. I was gonna promise not to bitch about anything else, but that probably isn't going to happen, given my own human nature. The whole concept of rebates makes me nuts--why not just sell it for less money in the first place? Did you know there are sort of sub-companies that just handle the rebates for other companies?n

One Shoe?n n Watch the video n I'm fascinated by all the ways that manufacturers market their wares to us and how "unaware" we, as consumers, can be.....n

I Scream, You Screamn n Watch the video n Frustration and disappointment at the supermarket. Where will it end?n

Just When You Thought It Was Safe....n n Watch the video n Maybe it's just me....am I the only one who can't go shopping without it turning into an opportunity for frustration?? At the end of this transaction, the cashier said to me "I know it's a little incovenient to do it this way." And I said "Yeah, for the CUSTOMER!" n

The End of the Easy Button Storyn n Watch the video n I couldn't resist adding this postscript to the Easy Button story after my last visit to Staples!n

The Easy Button Part Two Watch the video Be sure to watch the first segment to experience ALL the frustration!

The Easy Button Watch the video It started out as an easy task, just buy a file cabinet. This is the sort of thing that we all experience and makes you wonder how the world is able to function at all!

Express (Yourself) Train NYC Watch the video I spent a couple of days in NYC with Ryan and Jay. The first day these kids got on the train, my camera was packed away and I couldn't get to it fast enough. The next day we got on the express train again and suprise! But this time I was ready, with camera in my pocket. Enjoy!

Cow Girl Watch the video The further adventures of a cow girl.

Turkeys Gone Wild Watch the video Somthing a little more lighthearted after the last post. Enjoy!

Life Goes On..... Watch the video A lesson in life.

Home on the Range Watch the video Being on my mother's ranch is quite a change from my life in New Bedford.This will give you a glimpe into how I pass the days.

Christmas Candy Watch the video I couldn't find "Jingle Bells" but did have the soundtrack from the Wizard of Oz. After I had put the video together, I started to add the soundtrack. I cut just a bit off the beginning and placed the rest at the start of the video. Without any other editing, it came out perfectly! Boy, was I suprised! Ho ho hum.

The New Old House Watch the video After watching my three children become bloggers, I figured, what the heck, I shouldn't be the only family member without a blog. This is my first post, created with their help. The next post I'll be on my own, so look out!! Enjoy a continuing update of our "New Old House."
