Paper Roses

Reese — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:11:26 +0000

While typing a post about paper dolls I got the song made famous back in the 70′s by Marie Osmond “Paper Roses” I haven’t heard this song in so long, so I turned to YouTube.com and had no trouble finding this beautiful song and wanted to share it here while I was at it.

I wonder how long this song will stick in my head. Some times a song will last a week or so. That’s way too long for anything to be bouncing around inside my head! LOL

Living The Life on Facebook

Reese — Tue, 01 May 2012 02:34:11 +0000

One of my Facebook friends that went to the same high school as I did, but was a year ahead of me, works as a cigar salesperson and he always has the most interesting pictures and posts to read and enjoy almost everyday from his work. Today he was pictured smoking a nice macanudo cigar and posing with a couple of the Hooter Waitresses. with drinks in hand at some big exciting event in Pennsylvania. He has got to be one of the happiest of my old high school friends and is living the life, which I’m so glad to see, I just wish more of my old friends were living such exciting lives. Way too many of them are in bad health, bad relationships and stuck in a job that they barely tolerate just to keep a paycheck coming in these days.

Sunday Dinner – Pot Roast

Reese — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:12:30 +0000

Sunday’s are the best day of the week, a relaxing morning to sleep in on, a slow puttering about the house and the preparation of Sunday dinner is an on going thing throughout the day, usually using the slow cooker to produce the most wonderful aroma’s just enough to make your stomach wanting to eat much earlier than the designated time frame for the day.

Today a nice pot roast is simmering away with carrots, potatoes and beef broth, with plenty of salts and peppers to make it so nicely seasoned for maximum taste quality. It should be ready in time for the games.

Radial Engineering Guitars

Reese — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 05:32:56 +0000

It looks like I’m going ahead with the search for decent Radial Engineering Guitars to buy here real soon. My favorite niece’s high school graduation is fast approaching and I told her a few years back that when she did graduate that I would buy her the guitar of her choice and by god she managed to do real good in school and so now I’m happy to reward her on her special day.

I haven’t been to a high school graduation ceremony is such a long time. There has been a lag between that particular age group in the family. But soon we will be attending many more in the up and coming years and we always have great graduation parties and festivities for the graduates. I look forward to attending many, many more.

CHEERING FOR PHELPS

Authored by Rickey Combs

I have already started researching the summer Olympics using my Daytona Beach Clear. I can’t wait! It is going to be so much fun to watch them. The Summer Olympics are definitely my favorite and they only come around once every four years. This year, the games are going to be played in London. I would love to go, but I don’t think that is going to happen, so I am going to spend two weeks reading about athletes on-line, watching the Olympicsbroadcast, and enjoying them! I think that my favorite summer event is definitely anything that has to do with swimming. I loved to swim when I was a kid, but was never good enough to swim in college and didn’t have the dedication to swim on a club team in high school. I know that he gets a bad rap, but I love Michael Phelps. I think that he is a great athlete! First of all, he’s really tall, which is a plus for a swimmer, but he also just seems like a nice guy! I can’t wait to see him swim this year. It is going to be awesome!

Almost Invisible Mirrored Tree House Built in Sweden

Reese — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:47:44 +0000

I have always enjoyed tree houses. My dad built me and my brothers one of the best tree houses in the neighborhood and I would love to do the same one day for my kids, if that were to ever happen. Today when I signed onto the Internet this story and picture popped up and I couldn’t help checking it out further. This is one serious tree house my friends.

“Everything will reflect in this — the trees, the birds, the clouds, the sun, everything. So it should be invisible nearly in the forest.”

But the architects built it, one of six units in a “Treehotel,” which recently opened 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Sweden”

Gift Cards for Street Wear

Reese — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:46:18 +0000

The idea of giving my nephew a gift certificate for his birthday is becoming more and more appealing as I wonder around online looking at the type of street wear that he has requested for clothes this year. This is the first year that his “wish list” didn’t revolve around all the video games that he spends so much of his gaming with, so clothes are a fresh gift idea for him that I’m trying to run with. But I’m afraid that I’m just way too out of the loop in today’s trendy boy’s (I should really say young man, he is turning 16 this year) clothing in order to make a wise selection. So that is what gift cards all about out it seems and it seems to me that this situation requires just that.

Radioshack Rechargeable Batteries

Reese — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:30:51 +0000

The need for rechargeable batteries has become great these days, with the price of regular batteries rising and rising each time I go out and try and buy some and that just irks me something awful. There are so many things that I rely on that take batteries and then I have to throw them away and they end up in the landfill, which isn’t “green” at all. So I’ve decided to go ahead and make the switch over to the rechargeable ones that I have found for a good price at radioshack online.

I can really feel for today’s parents that must go through batteries so quickly because most of today’s toys require them.

School Days

Reese — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 03:52:14 +0000

Back in my junior high school days everyone seemed to really enjoy my company, since I was known for my class clown acts during class. One person I will never forget is the girl that used to be obsessed with my hair by playing with it and running her fingers through it every chance she could. Well to my surprise, she had found out where I was after all these years and had stopped in for a visit for a few hours to reunite with old class mates. I thought it was really cool to see someone I used to attend high school with and see how they turned out. It makes me wonder about a lot of old class mates of mine, I do believe Ill be putting out a search myself for all those who I remember.

My New Patio Cook Out Plans

Reese — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:03:33 +0000

The patio planters that I ordered are supposed to be coming in any day. This year I really plan on getting the patio completely done, organized, and decorated by Memorial Day so that I can have a few friends over for a nice cook out on my beautiful patio that I am so excited about to use this year. I’m so glad that my tax refund check allowed me to purchase a sun roof for it, so it’s all good to go except a few details and a good power wash before varnishing, hopefully that will happen the next week end or two.
