It's Moving Day Again

That's right, the Random Handprints family is moving again. We're not quite sure where yet, but we are certain we're moving when our lease is up this summer.

You can read all my angst about telling my poor kids It's Moving Day Again at the NYC Moms Blog.

My mother is on her third Manhattan apartment in six years (following twenty years in the same house in Northern Virginia). When her rental apartment went condo she complained to Magpie about having to move again, and was met with the reply, "That's nothing! I've moved the same number of times as you and I'm only six years old!"

How many times have you moved in the last six years? We've moved three times, which seems like a lot, but I bet there's plenty of people out there who would tell us that's nothing.

American Vernacular Landscapes - Congratulations, You're the Random Handprints Site of the Month!

Congratulations to the winner of May's Site of the Month - American Vernacular Landscapes (AVL). I can't say enough good things about AVL, it is truly one of the best blogs out there. It's funny, topical, and just a little irreverent. AVL has also always been a champion of Random Handprints, so it is fitting our first Site of the Month award would go to them, as they have always supported this blog.

Here are a few more reasons why AVL is the Random Handprints Site of the Month:

• Because you understand why one blog is not enough
• Because you were the first to add us to your blogroll
• Because you comment often, and thoughtfully
• Because you understand the allusions when others don't
• Because you set-up stats tracking before I even knew what that was
• Because you were the one who first told me about aboriginal handprints
• Because you are always willing to go camping, hunt vampires, or have a moonlight picnic.

Thank you AVL for making the world, online and off, a better place.
