All they need now is some great patio furniture. Now that Christmas is over and done with we are all keeping our eyes and ears open for a good deal on some to pass along to them. I hope they realize just how much the rest of the family is excited about the pool and how much time they will be spending there. It’s a good thing we all get along so well, so it should be a hoot!

It is supposed to be unusually warm this up coming week, but cloudy and rainy, but that is O.K. we really need the rain and it is better than being freezing cold and snowing!  I a so ready for spring, I am not a winter loving person at all.

I am looking forward to spring so that hubby and I can start preparing our veggie garden out in the backyard again.  Last year wasn’t the greatest, we learned a lot from it and hope that we will do much better and that our harvest will much more plentiful.  My favorite was the cantaloupes, they take up a lot of space in the garden, but if we do it right this year it will be wonderful.

I have been getting some inquiries from some family members as to what I plan to do this year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is always a mad house trying to figure out who is doing what and who is going where, kinda takes a lot of the fun and excitement out of the holidays trying to keep everyone happy and keeping feelings from being hurt. I’ve also been asked for gift suggestions from a few but have had to say that I really didn’t have any at this point. But now I know that I can ask for one of the nice dobsonian telescopes that I’ve been looking at on a site that has the most wonderful and affordable telescopes for sale at Skiesunlimited.net.

During a private “fly-in” fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane.

The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!!!

The other day I ran across a site http://www.easygirlgames.comthat was jammed pack full of girlie girl games like, dating games, kissing games, make-up games, dress up games, make over games, fashion games, cooking games and games for Barbies and Bratz lovers as well, which I thought was pretty darned cool. I have a niece that just turned 11 last month that I sent an email to with the link to this site in case she wasn’t aware of it all ready. She is a good kid, an only child that spends a lot of time on her laptop and loves playing games so I hope that she will enjoy the huge variety of these girl games that they have listed there for girls just like her.

We first all met at the school and attended the football game against our biggest rival. It was fun but my rear end got really cold sitting on those darned aluminum bleachers. We had to use the bathroom and decided to go into the school and find the bathrooms and see all the changes that have taken place through out the years that have been done to the place since our last time being in there. Funny how much smaller those steel lockers looked after such a long time. but then again from what I understand most schools are now installing the small locker to accommodate the larger population of students that they are now teaching. I don’t see how anyone can fit all the things necessary to put in your locker, especially come winter when you have so many extra things that you have to wear and then store in your locker. But then we didn’t use back packs back then so I’m guessing a lot of the stuff that we used to store in our lockers are now being carried in their back packs.

It’s too bad that we lost the football game, but that didn’t hamper our spirits for very long. It ended up being a really great time and now I have re kindled several old friendships, most of them are on Facebook which is so cool!

Because we are all staying close to home due to the hurricane threat I’m sure a lot of folks will be spending time online this weekend, just like me. I have just finished reading a most interesting blog that I found at http://www.tampa-used-cars.com. Since I have had my own blog for some time now I can relate to how important a well written blog can be and I can appreciate how helpful they can be. Since I haven’t owned a Mustang in a very long time I wanted to see what is being said about the newer Mustang models and their blog has been very informative as well as plenty of videos which is very cool.

I love how the Internet makes looking at new and used cars so much easier than running from dealership to dealership all around town. You can find everything that you need right here at this used car dealer in Tampa Florida and then trek on over there for the test drive, which is always the most exciting part for me. I don’t think many people will be heading out for test drives over the next couple of days until hurricane Irene is all over and done with, actually from what I hear the majority of businesses have temporarily shut down for the weekend.

The first time I had heard of people doing that I thought it was pretty strange, but after it was explained to me I had to admit that it was a pretty good idea, something that I don’t think I would have thought of, but then again I don’t own a pool. Actually I am the only one on the block that doesn’t have pool, why should I when I have been invited to enjoy many of theirs if I want to, so I will spend my hard earned money on other things that I need and want instead.
