An iPhone for Christmas

Santa was nice to me this year and left an iPhone under the tree this year. I am so excited, because ever since it came out I have been wanting to get one.

Lots of great features on here, but the one I am looking forward to most is being able to blog from wherever in the world I am.

Looking around for cool applications on line at the moment, so will do some writing later on.

I hope everyone out there had a Merry Christmas and got what they wanted under the tree this year.

 

Happy Holidays

 

My Memories Of A Mantel Clock

I’ve always wanted one of the mantel clocks much like the one in my grandparents house that sat on the side board in their dining room. They brought it over from England when they came over in the 1920’s and it was one of their most cherished possessions. After they both passed away it broke my heart that I wasn’t given the mantel clock that I so loved and remembered, but at least a cousin got it and it will stay in the family, for better or worse.  Every now and then I look around online and see if I can find one similar to my grandparents one that I could purchase and keep on my side board as well. I always check in on one of the more popular blogs that I read concerning clocks that I have book marked on my laptop.

There is a lot going on in the world of clocks that I find fascinating and try to keep up on as much as possible. It’s amazing what sites have good quality blogs to read that are actually fun and interesting to read, you gotta love that.  I know a lot of us don’t even use watches and/or clocks these days. Our cell phones, black berries and computers have become a much more convenient way for us to watch the time, but I’m still stuck back in time as far as that is concerned.

Daughter wants to Blog

The next blogs will be written by my daughter.

She is 12 years old and I think she will enjoy the experience and I wish her luck.  I’ll be checking in on her now and then!
