Outa Town, Outa Touch

As my GPS would say, I have arrived at my destination.

We're on vacation in New Hampshire, arrived last night. And it is a lovely condo in a lovely mountain lake resort, and we are here with our lovely friends.

Fresh mountain air; clear, cool creek babbling just outside our window; plenty of things for the kids, the family, to do; good friends, wine....

Only two problems...

1) No A/C. It should be cool for sleeping, but it's kinda hot and sticky for our spoiled family (myself included).

2) No internet at the unit we're staying at. There's internet at the rec center, but that means we'll have to leave the creature comforts of our home away from home every time we want to log in. Boo. I may just go into withdrawal. Wah.

I am strong. I will survive this.

Anyway, if I'm off my bloggy game over the next week, there is a good reason.




Now. As to us "going Amish" like I wrote a couple days ago. In case you haven't already figured it out from yesterday's post, my sister Mary Birdsong is involved in a show (Spirit Seeker) that is being filmed at my house.

Six of the cast and crew arrived Tues night, another the next day, and several more the afternoon we left for New Hampshire.

Can you say full house?

On Wednesday, they shot the scenes my kids were involved in, where they play spooky Amish kids. Well, the character that plays my sister's teenaged son believes them to be spooky, anyway. I think the DP and the director/writer/producer did a heck of a job of getting them to look the part, don't you?

So like I said, now we're away, and they have the house to themselves (including Romy Rosemont sleeping in my bed), so I can stop stressing about whether there's coffee in the pot and clean sheets on the bed for a few days.


Well. At least not at our house in PA. I guess I still have all that to think about here in NH. But only for the 8 of us, not for 20+.

Yay!

In case you didn't know it, I'm like the queen of blog-hoppin' lately. It's kind of like square dancing but without the dated outfits, smelly gym, and elderly caller.

Tuesday: Heavenly Homemaker's Gratituesday

Since today is Saturday, that means I'm linking my post "Good Help Is Hard To Find" with Country Momma Cooks Saturday Link-Up, and with Camera Critter's Life With Dogs Pet Blogger Hop.
Come join the fun!

Spirit Seeker

Oh fun fun fun.

My sister, Mary Birdsong, is involved in an indie film project called The Spirit Seeker.


In this comedy, she plays reality TV's Samantha Bell, not a ghost hunter, but a ghost "healer."

In the pilot episode, to be filmed in August, she travels to a charming bed and breakfast in PA Dutch country to investigate a haunting.











The location of this bed and breakfast?

That would be my house.




Besides my sister, Stephen Root and Romy Rosemont will also be starring in this blockbuster.

















Mary's compatriot Matt Scott came out to my house this past week to do some scouting, take a bunch of pictures, get the lay of the land.... and to meet my kids, who will have cameo roles in the film.

Exciting?
Uh, yeah.

We're excited.




Stay tuned for more updates.....
