A Romantic Picnic for Two

July 26th 2010 19:49
This summer why not plan a romantic picnic for just the two of you. A warm summer evening, away from the cares of the world, the stress of your days where just the two of you can spend some time appreciating each other.

There are just a few simple things to prepare and then you two can be off for some leisurely romantic time together. First, know where you are going. Pick your spot. Make it someplace where there are not a kids running around all over making noise and creating commotion. How about down on the beach, off away from the swimmers? Or maybe that peaceful way off corner of your local park? Or even a quiet ride down some lonely country road where no one ever goes

Why You Should Visit Holmes County, Ohio

July 11th 2010 15:30
Homes County Ohio is in the section of the state. It is generally an area of beautiful farms on rolling hills. It is home to such lovely small towns with names that include Charm, Sugar Creek, Apple Creek and Mt. Hope. The largest town is name Millersburg and one of the most visited towns is Berlin.

For those of you that have never heard of the area it is also the heart of the Amish country in Ohio and that is what makes Holmes County a very special place to visit. It is the largest settlement of Amish people in the world and it is a place to take a step back, unwind and view a different way of life.
Follow the winding country roads and you will see many an Amish buggy as they go about their daily life. You will pass their pristine white homes and farms. You can always tell which homes are owned by the Amish as there are no electrical wires leading to the home and the homes are normally painted white and are the exteriors are very clean, basic and uncluttered. You will often see Purple Martin birdhouses erected in the yards and see the buggy parked in the driveway. There are clotheslines on which they have hung their freshly washed clothing. Amish women always wear plain long dresses and the men are often in jeans and their familiar black coats. Both men and women wear hats whenever they are out in public. Women wear no makeup and jewelry and men have full beards. The Amish country side is a peaceful and serene place that is lovely no matter what season of the year you visit

The New River Gorge

July 9th 2010 21:31
The New River Gorge is a National River in the State of West Virginia. It encompasses 70,000 acres between the town of Hinton and Fayetteville, West Virginia. It is a park that offers wonderful scenery, fishing, white water rafting and recreational activities for the entire family.

The New River Gorge follows the New River, which is actually not a “new” river at all. In fact, the New River is one of the oldest rivers in North America and has followed its present path for 65 million years. For centuries the gorge was inaccessible for its entire length. However, in 1973 the railroad opened up this isolated part of West Virginia and the railroad path bordered the river in order that coal could be shipped out of the area to other parts of the United States

The Blue Ridge Parkway

July 9th 2010 00:26
The Blue Ridge Parkway is 469 miles and follows the Blue Ridge Mountains from the Shenandoah to the Great Smoky Mountains. The Parkway was conceived to bring tourism to the Appalachians as the common man took to the roads in their automobiles. The entire roadway took over 50 years to complete. It was started in 1935 and finally completed in 1987.

A drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway traverses mountains, valleys, and everything in between. At it’s lowest point; 649 feet at the James River to its highest point of over 6,000 feet at Richard Balsam, on any given day, one can see snow capped mountains and dry river beds

Facebook Top 5s

October 2nd 2009 15:03
Recently I have joined Facebook after much urging from some of my friends. After that I have found this one app called Living Social. It basically let's people set up "Top 5" lists of just about anything they want. Some of the ones I have done so far are; Top 5 Toys that remind you of your childhood (Trading/Baseball Cards was my #1, partially because I still have a huge collection to this day.), Top 5 Favorite Smells (Good Italian food was my #1, followed closely by the smell of the Atlantic Ocean, preferably off the Jersey Shore.), Your Top 5 Dream Festival Lineup / 5 acts on one main stage (My top five was KISS, Pink Floyd, Queen, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith.).

My favorite thus far was probably Top 5 TV Characters I wish were real so I could hang out with them. My top five for that was Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce aka Hawkeye from M*A*S*H, Dan Fielding from Night Court, The Hackett brothers from Wings, Patrick Jayne from The Mentalist, and Earl & Randy Hickey from My Name is Earl

My Name is Earl Fans Unite and Get a Mustache

May 28th 2009 20:48
My Name is Earl logo
As most probably know by now NBC has canceled My Name is Earl. The shows is made by FOX, they turned down the chance to move the show to their own network like ABC chose to do with Scrubs after NBC canceled it. ABC had expressed some interest, but hasn't made a move to pick up the show for its fifth season.

There is a movement on Twitter to try and save the show, it is called the Earl Twitition, and has been getting quite a bit of attention.
