Notes from Abigail
This morning I was just reflecting on how much my life has changed over the past 10 years or so. I have embraced computers and the Internet, part of it because of my job and part because I consider it entertainment.
I joined Facebook a couple of years ago and have made many new friends. I look forward to logging in and catching up with my friends. We have a lot of fun together and life wouldn’t be the same without them.
Ever since I was a small girl I have used many different night creams to help keep my skin moist, some worked very well some not at all. I got to searching on the internet for some night cream reviews, what I found amazed even cynical old me.
The one night cream that I have used for years was not given a very high score on the web site that I found with the very best night cream reviews. Night Creams has a great web site with a lot of information on which night cream is rated high and which ones are rated low. I plan to make my night cream choices from here on out on which ones have been rated higher than the rest.
I love the way that a good night cream makes my skin feel and I have always been very selective on which night cream I use and I see no reason to change that now that I am on the down hill side of 40, I need a better night cream now that I ever needed when I was 20. All the help I can get to choose a better night cream will be appreciated very highly.
This year was pretty much a disaster as far as my back yard. Usually I would be reaping the rewards of a small backyard garden and giving extra produce to friends, neighbors, family and co workers. Between the weather being crazy and my lack of interest and energy this year, it just didn’t work out.
I did manage to get a few tomato plants that are producing although usually there are plenty of red ones on the vine by now. But they are taking their time in ripening. It is actually a bit better for me because I can only use and give so many tomatoes in the first week of August.
This year’s month August is being call Autumn in August, even some of the bushes and trees are totally confused at to what time of the year it is. There has been several mornings that I have gone outside, the wind is blowing and it’s overcast, that I have witnessed a good amount of leaves on the ground as well a a bunch of leaves being tossed around in the cool breeze.
I think I will back off on some of the food items in the garden next year. A nice break from this yearly chore. I would love to start planting some nicer plants and buses around the yard.
I have all winter to learn what I need to know and do for caring for orchids and all the other beautiful and colorful flowers that I am looking forward to tend to next spring and summer. I can’t wait to start getting all the seeds and flower catalogs that I always find in my mailbox right before the up and coming spring plantings.
In the mean time I’ll be looking around online to do a bit of research which will make all the decisions as an educated consumer.
Once in a great while I will see something on Face Book that really strikes me enough to take the time to comment on as well as saving the image onto my hard drive in order to post it here on my personal blog.
A good friend of mine from our high school days posted this today and it really hit home. I just couldn’t resist posting it here today. It deserves it, she deserves it and last but not least I deserve it!
There is a lot to be said when a business has been around for almost 30 years. Thirty years, that is a really long time if you think about it.
For a business that started out in the 1980’s when the economy was doing very well and has made it clean right through to these past couple of years that has been so horrific for the majority of people all across the board is incredible.
Russell Allen & Associates, Inc is a great firm if you are looking for small business tax prep and other accounting services in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
Having to deal with my taxes each year before the April 15th deadline is hard enough, I can’t image all that is required for a small business to keep Uncle Sam nicely fat and happy and away from your front door.
With a little extra money this week we bought us a wii, and we love it like no other gaming system we have ever had. Nintendo has a hit as far as I am concerned, we love the wii sports and wii games discs. My grandson has got a lot of fun out of the tanks on the wii play disc and I have become a pro at bowling and tennis on the wii sports disc.
We bought our wii system from Save Buckets, they have a great website with so much to choose from and great prices that I have not been able to beat anywhere on the internet. I will be checking on this great site for more games to go with our new wii system.
I can not wait to get more games for us to play on our wii system and I think that getting new games will be very exciting for our grandson and us. I am not so old that playing games is still a blast and a great way to pass the time of day. David has had a blast making the mii’s for the different players and he is pretty good at it even though he is only six years old.
This year I don’t have to guess what to purchase to give to my dad on Father’s Day. I have already found a great website with an awesome selection of Heat Guns, Soldering Irons and Hot Knives to pick from to order for him. Now I just have to decide on which one to actually purchase. Father’s Day is only a few short weeks away so I better hurry up and pick one. I’m sure he would love any of them.
I couldn’t stop laughing at this. I have always loved watching nature videos but when you add a human context to them it makes it ten times more enjoyable! I guarantee that anyone watching this will laugh at some point. If they don’t then they must not have any sense of humor. The large white birds laughing are my absolute favorite!
The days that I could call my kid brother for my heating and/or air conditioning issues are unfortunately long gone. He discovered that he has a real talent with computers and he hasn’t had anything to do with anything else since.
So on the down side I have to locate and hire my own Durham air conditioning service when I need help. On the other hand I can always count on him to help me with my computers!
My sisters youngest daughter has had a beautiful baby girl and to get the perfect gift for this newest member of our family I have decided to go all out and get her some unique baby blankets for the baby. A new baby brings out the very best in most people and I am one of those who love the new babies. In this family it is my job to get the newest babies wonderful gifts and baby stuff they can keep their whole lives.
The baby blankets I have selected are such a wonderful gift and I will be very happy to send all of my family members who want to find the unique baby blankets that I have found. I will send them to Vision Bedding, they have a great web site with some very nice baby gifts including the unique baby blankets I have found for Keshia.
Vision Bedding has a great web site with a very nice selection of very nice baby items including the wonderful baby blankets I selected. The price was the top thing on the list of things that amazed me about this web site, they matched or even beat the local baby shops and that is amazing in my mind.
