A Little More About Egypt

Click to Enlarge Apologies all around for being slow to update my blog. My main website (denaharris.com) and all linked sites (lessonsinstalking.com, kissmykittybutt.com, spotlightpublishing.com) are still being held hostage by Google. I've uploaded clean files to the sites but Google can take weeks to revisit and reindex them as "clean" sites. To prevent this sort of the thing in the future, I'm moving all my sites from Netfirms (no help at ALL, thank you very much) to Squarespace.com, which is where this blog is hosted. I might lose some traffic as the pages are reindexed, but it will be worth it to prevent future blow-outs. The "new" site will look just like my old one and still be at www.denaharris.com, but hopefully hackers won't be able to get in. I'll let everyone know when the moved site is available.

All of which is a long way of saying... I've been busy. Although not, perhaps, as busy as Blair, who has taken it upon himself to label ALL 700+ PHOTOS from Egypt. God bless him... that's a whole lotta computer time. But as he points out, a month from now we're not going to remember what's what, so may as well do it while memory is fresh. Once the labeling is complete (maybe this weekend) we'll post all photos online and let you indulge at will.

If any one needs close up shots of Egyptian hierglyphics, I can hook you up. Meanwhile, click on the photos below to enlarge. I'll post more later. - Dena

Curse of the Mummy

Maybe there is something to all those legends about bad luck following those who enter the ancient resting places of the pharaohs. Sitting down to my computer this morning, I discovered that my Twitter account has been suspended for suspicious activity and that my home page, www.denaharris.com, is giving a warning message to anyone who lands there that the page is infected with malware (malicious software). 

Given the 3,000 things awaiting my attention, this is not

I Have Walked Like An Egyptian

And we're back! From Egypt. Arrived home last night just before midnight, semi-delirious from fatigue after a 25.5-hour travel day. 

As should be obvious, I programmed my blog to pop up some entries while we were gone. I don't like announcing to the world that we're leaving home and I didn't think our house sitter would be thrilled either, so I tried to keep it low key.

But we went, we're back, and we had a GLORIOUS time. This was, without a doubt,
