X10 security for the vacationing family
We’re getting ready to head on vacation to upstate New York. It’s been a while since I was there, and two of my children have never been. The oldest was there once, when he was three months old. I think it’s about time they went up to see their grandparents and great-grandmother! Now, I don’t […]
