Duggars Go To FOTF

Last week I was privileged to be in a hotel, while the Focus on the Family-19 Kids and Counting episode aired. We don't have any TV channels at home but of course we had it their. It was fun to watch since my family had gone several years before, when I was Twelve.

  Unfortunately we went at exactly the wrong time we were their in July and the special 20th anniversary celebration was in August, my parents talked about going back, but it was just too much money. If only we would have gone a few months later I could have meet Katie Leigh, Will Ryan, and Paul Herlinger before he died. I still haven't quite gotten over that.
  They did all of the same stuff we did, they went to the Garden of the Gods, the Royal Gorge, and of course we went to Focus on the Family. We recorded and AIO episode of our own, went down Wooton's slide and all that fun stuff. But it is sad to say that I did not try a WOD-FAM-CHOC-SOD, something about chocolate soda sounds kind of weird to me.

  You can still see the episode if you want to buy it here. So yeah I liked it a lot and if you ever get the chance definitely go visit Whit's End. It's not quite what I think the real (or imaginary) one is like, but you could never really get Whit behind the counter.

Episode Titles

I apologize for not blogging for so long, something has been up with this website and I have not been able to log in. Now I finally got in and I'm on vacation and will be for another week. It is hard to type on my mom's lap top that we brought along so I won't type my review at the moment, but the good news is that I have started to relisten to the episodes and take notes on them.

  I just got a chance to look on the Odyssey scoop, and I see that the official episode titles have been released for album 54.
 
691: Wooton Knows Best
692: A Penny Saved
693: The Amazing Loser
694: Anger Mismanagement
695: Forgiving, More or Less
696: You're Two Kind
697: A Penny Earned
698: Never for Nothing
699: Emily, the Genius
700: How to Sink a Sub
701: Unbecoming Jay
702: Childish Things
  I do wonder if it is a consistence that two of the titles have the word of perhaps the name Penny in them. I thought that they were going to take a brake from the story lines introduced in The Green Ring Conspiracy. It would be nice to be able to find out what is going to happen in the Wooton/Penny story in the fall rather than waiting until next spring.

  Three weeks ago I ordered the actual Green Ring conspiracy album. I wasn't in such a hurry to get it this time since I can still listen to it any time, but I really needed to buy it to have a complete collection.

  I hope every one is having an excellent summer so far!
