Did you guys see this post in the Recorder? Leisa Tobler of Huntingtown entered a contest at a site called http://www.myhomeideas.com/ to win a house and, wow, actually won it. It’s a beach house in Florida. You can read her full interview here. Congrats to the entire Tobler family which includes her husband Rob, sons Andrew, 12, and Joshua, 9, and daughter Ainsley, 4.

I gotta start entering more online contests. If you’re reading this Leisa, we are looking for a place for the summer if I can get the County rate :-)

A christmas trip to Solomons

December 5, 2008 · Filed Under Calvert · Comment 

Usually on a Friday night I’m plugging my big butt into the sofa and watching the boob tube. This week though we’re getting ready for the holidays and there’s a lot of stuff going on. So we decide to start by going down to Solomons for their tree lighting. After we saw the tree we stopped by the candy store for some stuff. Good times.

I love those living Nativity scenes. Though it was a little chilly, some caroling broke out.

After we left Solomons propre, we stopped by the Marine Museum. They were having a free night with a bunch of stuff going on. We saw Doug the Dog.

Always nice to get a free in at the Marine Museum.

And we end our night at Annmarie Gardens. It wasn’t the festival of lights yet but there were giving away free admission to the gallery they just built.

On a side note, I’m still trying to convince Annmarie to let me do a redesign for them. I think their site is fine but there is a lot of potential there for more as a communications channel and to interface with the community. I don’t think I’ve ever had this problem trying to sell a probono project. I don’t do them very often and usually turn down a bunch of requests per year because I’m too busy with paid work. But I want this job. I love that place and its web presence could be so much more. So Stacy, drop me a line and lets just explore this. You’ve got my email.
