Hymelick.com becomes Upon Stratford

Well, more news in the "site-has-moved" department, but hymelick.com is now uponstratford.com and is located with its very own domain name. CLICK HERE to visit!

THE BIG MOVE

Okay, so hymelick.blogspot.com has moved. It is now found at hymelick.wordpress.com. In the near future, we will be relocated at hymelick.com, plain and simple, again (I'm still working on that part!) with an awesome new gallery, much like on the original hymelick.com. To access the new site in one shot, CLICK HERE.

All posts from here have been moved over, so everything you could possibly want to read up on from the past is still there. Excess, non-family related posts have been deleted. If you are interested in "The Music Man" Project, it is now on my sewing blog - A Fine Notion (though those videos will remain up here).

This site, however, will remain to exist as an outlet for my constant ramblings about nothing, and my posts about anything and everything that is not important. Perhaps later I'll post my new favorite Saturday Night Live skit, starring Tina Fey as Sarah Palin!

Picture of the Week


Taking advantage of my new water camera pictures, here's me and Kristi in the water in Puerto Rico, looking like we've just swum in from nowhere!

An Update or Two

Yeah, so I've been neglecting things a bit here, but I'm trying to get things together for the launch of the new hymelick.com. I think it'll be worth it. Once that happens, I'll likely be clearing the family information from here and keeping it as a place for my random musings and video showings. All family news will be at the new site, which will hopefully come with a brand new gallery and everything.

In other news, our current gallery has been updated with more pictures from Puerto Rico, taken with an underwater camera Kristi bought and then I had developed the other day - FINALLY. You can view that here.

The New Look for Now

This is the new look as I move the blog to be about my random musings, and move the family website over to it's new home. Bear with it as it will go through many changes until I decide on the final layout and look forward to the new site.

Any name suggestions will be gladly taken into consideration! (Thought it might be fun if they reflect the new template.)

Coming Soon: A Makeover!

The Family Stories and Pictures site is getting a new look, and it's own domain! Keep a lookout here, for I will post when I get us all good and redirected! I am waiting until I am completely done with the renovation before I send people on over to it. The gallery is being updated and the posts are being streamlined to truly be all about the family!

This site WILL be updated in the meantime, AND it will likely continue to be here as the place where I post all my random musings and ramblings about movies and whatnot.

Picture of the Week


At Carol and James' wedding in 1993, Katherine discovered how much she liked dancing.

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

In my first day of work craziness yesterday, I neglected to post birthday greetings for Grandma Ginger! Happy Birthday! (Sheepishly given one day late!)

Quote of the Week

"Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken." ~Bill Dodds

It's funny since in my job, I have the exact OPPOSITE reaction to Labor Day. Sure, people "lose" their kids right after Labor Day Weekend, but as the teacher, I GAIN them!

Picture of the Week


Kara refers to this period of her life as her "Whale Baby" days. I'd assume this was sometime in early 1988, as she was born in December of '87.

A Ladies' Tea

In our grand tradition, we had our Ladies' Tea today. The theme was "Go Green" and we all bought "green" gifts. I made a purse out of an old shirt and scraps, so it was "recycled!" A lovely time was had by all.

Lindsay and Katherine, right before we ate the excellent tea sandwiches.

The lovely tea cups.

A table of our gifts.

The bag that I made, and Donna received.

Happy Birthday, Ted!

Today is Ted's 78th birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Lindsay!

Today we celebrate Lindsay's 24th birthday! There's a big party later to celebrate so I'm sure tomorrow you can expect a post with lots of pictures!

A baby Lindsay, circa 1985/1986 (depending on if she was 1 or 2 here!).

Picture of the Week

Well, since it's after midnight, and since I'm still up, and since I'm helping a friend paint her living room tomorrow and don't know when I'll be home, I'll just post the picture of the week right now!


I've always really enjoyed this picture of me and Lindsay, taken circa 1990 or so! (I actually think it's a bit earlier, perhaps '88.)

A Foray into Web Design

I just finished my first actual website. It's for Grandma and Ted's Bed and Breakfast, The Hitchcock House! Check it out here! I hope it brings them lots of new business!
