Thank a Veteran

If you are going out today, I hope you have the chance to partake in some of the ceremonies that are being held around the country, honoring our veterans. They deserve all the thanks we can give them! Thank you veterans, for your service and sacrifice.

We used to go to the Veteran’s Day parade held in the Washington DC area every year. It was great fun to see the marching bands and the floats. I think the one they had in Old Town Alexandria was probably one of the best. The variety of entries, from antique cars to gymnastics groups, made the parade very interesting and exciting.

Dream Living and Golf at Verno Beach

I spent some time with my favorite aunt last weekend and we were talking about her retiring and finding a nice home or villa in Florida. She is an avid golfer and mentioned Golf Verno Beach and that she would love to check out the clubs, the community and also the perks one would have living there. She is all about quiet class and after looking at the site she showed me, I do believe it would be perfect for her and her needs. There are times that I stay with her and help with her various needs and I’m a beach person, so this also would be a choice location to fulfill my needs also.

There are all kinds of various things to make one perfectly content living there and also being a member of a gated community it would mean safety for the most part and a good place for my aunt to live. She is up there in age, but spry from all the activities she does and she doesn’t show or act her real age. She also enjoys the fine things and service she is accustom to, as she worked hard to get to the point where she doesn’t really have to worry about funds for such a great place. We will be going to look at various Real Estate properties there.

My aunt is planning on going down to Florida and do some shopping around for a home or at least a winter place she can live in, since the cold weather where she lives ruins her playing golf when she gets that urge!

Still waiting for internet service

This is getting ridiculous. I’m still waiting for my internet service to be straightened out. I pay a lot of money to have service where I live and one would think they would be on the ball, so to speak about the issues I have been having.

So far I have had two tech guys come out…young guys, who seem to be more interested in their cell phone calls, which seem to be non business related, than fixing my service.

I am giving these guys one more chance and then I’m going to blow up when I call the provider. This may not be pretty if my service isn’t fixed fully.

Vacation and no internet service

Usually when I take a vacation, it’s on the weekend, but I decide to take a few days during the week and go to some flea markets in Indiana. It was a great ride, and I loved taking in the scenery, but it’s so darn dry in that state from lack of rain…like most places I’ve visited that everything looked very dry.

I decided to take my lap top and at the little motel I stayed at advertised that they had free internet service, but they didn’t. Or, there was something wrong with the connection. I’m will however never stay at this particular motel again.

The owner or manager of the motel was not helpful at all, and actually acted like he had never heard of the internet or for that matter, computers in general. Even at the desk, everything was done by hand in a log. Guess I was sort of roughing it, but it was kind of relaxing and they had a pool.
