Well my honey wants a new guitar. There is a BC Rich Warlock he has his eye on and has actually been drooling over it. I think it is hilarious because he is like a little child about it. He wants his new toy very badly. I am seriously thinking about buying it for him for Christmas, if he hasn’t already gotten it by then. I can just see his face now when he opens it. It will be priceless.
Working in the garden
I have been working in my garden a lot lately. We may not have had much rain, but the weeds are still growing exponentially. At least it seems that way. I have some really great herbs growing and will have plenty to dry. I prefer to use them fresh, but once the growing season is over, I will have to harvest what is left and either replant some into the kitchen containers or dry them. It isn’t very difficult to do. You just cut them and then use string to wrap them into bundles. Then you hang them up. After they dry out, you can bottle or bag them according to how you like to store them. It’s easy peasy!
Coin collection
I have told you about my son’s coin collection before I am sure. If I haven’t well, here it is. We have found a coin silver in make, that he really wants to add to his collection. Over the years, my father has helped him with his coin collection. He has many rare and old coins in it, but he likes to get some of the newly minted stuff as well. We indulge him whenever we can, and this one isn’t really that expensive and will look great in his collection.
Summer fun
This weekend is going to be a blast. There is the county fair as well as the CMA Fest in Nashville. We are going to try to go to both. Friday night we will go to the fair as it closes at around ten o’clock. We can get there around six and spend plenty of time riding the rides and such. We may go back on Sunday to see the animal shows, but I doubt it.
Saturday one of our favorite singers is playing on the Riverfront stage. The concert is free and won’t cost us really anything. We can take sandwiches and drinks, so long as the bag is small. So we will take several small bags, one per person. Each will have what we need for ourselves, instead of one big one like we normally do. The prices for the vendors are way to expensive for us to eat and drink there. This way we can buy a few souvenirs to bring home. I know that the kids will want something, so I am planning accordingly.
By the time we are done with all of that, I am going to assume we will be sunburned and ready to rest on Sunday. I know that I will be. It is going to be so much fun. Hope to see you there !
An awesome find
I love to go yard saleing and today I stopped at one that seemed to have very little. However, I found two antique cigars boxes. I have been wanting to get a couple of these for my boys to put their “treasures” in. Whether it is jewelry, or marbles and coins, the boys need somewhere to put those items that they want for keepsakes. All boys have these kinds of boxes and mine have been using small shoe boxes, but I think these will do much nicer.
Kennels
It’s past time to get a couple of kennels for the dogs. My yard is not fenced in and they are wanting out a lot already this summer. I just don’t have the time to keep taking them for constant walks. It is interrupting while I work and since I am writing a lot, it interrupts my train of thought. If I get them kennels, they can go outside and stay for a few hours in the morning and in the evening for fresh air.
These are covered and can keep them out of the direct sun and the rain as well.
Low income bankruptcy
Filing bankruptcy is hard enough as it is, but if you are filing low income bankruptcy, it can be devastating. Low income families have a much more difficult time then do the middle class. While the middle class has much more to lose, they usually end up better off. Low income families lose everything. My heart goes out to those who have to go through this process, because it literally picks apart your life with no discrimination at all.
I’m a little late
I forgot to tell everyone Happy Memorial Day. I was so busy this past weekend, that I was barely even home. We were on the go from morning to night all three days. By the time we were done, we were all exhausted and it took this long to recuperate. I hope everyone had as great a weekend as we did.
Iron Man
The kids are driving me crazy to go see the new Iron Man 3 movie. I can’t say that I blame them, because I would like to see it too. I am just not sure I want to brave the crowds tonight. I really prefer matinee’s, when the crowds are much less and the seating is better. Fighting for seats that are together is not my idea of a good time and my kids sit with me no matter what. I will have to see about going tomorrow. If I buy the tickets online tonight, then the kids will probably leave me alone about it. lol
Memory lane
This song really makes you remember the “good ole days” of your youth growing up in a small town. I have so many memories that flash by whenever I hear this song and even more when I watch the video. I thought I would share with all, so that you can take a trip down memory lane as well. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
