Yet
another housekeeping update (so sorry!):
Anyone who subscribes to posts via email may have received two emails
for the most recent post I published. I
had transitioned to FollowIt for email subscriptions, but Feedburner has
continued to deliver posts even though Google indicated that it would stop
doing that in July. Now, they say August. I wish they had just announced a specific
date and stuck with it. Since I don’t
want all of you to continue receiving two email notifications for each new
post, I deleted my Feedburner option. You
should receive notifications only via FollowIt from now on. I do empathize with those of you
who preferred the format of the Feedburner email notifications. Truthfully, I much preferred the Feedburner
format, too, since it allowed you to read a little bit of the post and decide
whether or not you wanted to continue on to the blog for the rest of it. However, FollowIt’s only options are (1) title
only (which is how you received the last post) or (2) the entire article (which
is how you should have received this one, assuming I made the correct
adjustments). Even though you may
receive the complete text of the post, you’ll still need to click through to
view the photos or access other features of the blog. I know it’s not perfect, but it is what it
is. My apologies to all for the
annoyance this transition may have caused.
If you’re not annoyed by this, no worries. I’m annoyed enough for all of us. Now, on to the good stuff. Or, at least, the better than this stuff . .
.
Didja miss me? Our family just recently returned from our annual camping
expedition to Northampton Beach Campground on Great Lake Sacandaga in central
New York. I know you’re probably tired
of me talking about “the lake” as it’s known in our family but, well, I just can’t
help myself. Not only is the lake,
itself, gorgeous, but the campground is full of large and beautifully wooded
sites. Our trip this year, though, was a
little bittersweet because it was the first year in the thirteen we’ve been
making a pilgrimage to Sacandaga that one of our kids didn’t make it at all. As a result, I spent quite a bit of time this
year reflecting on our experiences at Great Lake Sacandaga and the family
memories we’ve collected over the years.
So, this post really is more about matters of the heart, than an actual
documentation of our camping trip. The photos included in the post span several years' worth of visits.
