Nearing the end

The summer is nearly at its end and I was thinking of someway to celebrate it before the winter set in. The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if taking a vacation would be a good thing to do. Now that I had thought of the idea, I started wondering where I could go. I went online and started looking around when I came across a site called http://avistaresort.com. I was impressed with what I read and thought it over all the next day.

Once you read over the site, you’ll find that it’s all about the beach. I have always loved going to the beach and I figured this would be a good time to get my feet wet. The only problem is that there are so many resorts in Myrtle Beach; it’s hard to know which one to choose. Reading the webpage led me to believe that I had found something good and I wanted to go.

The good thing about Myrtle Beach is that there are many golf courses around in that area. I love playing a few rounds of golf when I can and it seems like the perfect place to do it. I can’t wait to be out in the sun and getting a little exercise. I think I’ll end this summer up at a Myrtle Beach hotel.

Easy living

One thing that can be tricky for every man is shopping for a woman. I always dread when my wife or daughter has a birthday coming up. Trying to figure out what to get them always seems hard for me. Luckily, through the years I have gained a lot of experience in this area and am becoming a lot better at the game. I found a pretty good site online called shopwiki.co.uk that helps me find the right gift.

One thing I am always sure that women want is clothes. It seems that they can never have enough. That’s why I use the site to find the best deals and values for women’s clothing. This is a place where you can find everything from the latest Women’s Fashion Trends to Party Outfits for Women. The next step is just deciding what they would like the best.

Since both my wife and daughter will soon be having birthdays, I started my search a little early. I wanted to be prepared for the occasion and not have to do any last minute shopping. I’ve always found it easier to buy Women’s Complete Outfits rather than try to match up the separate pieces. I’m glad I found this site as it has helped me on a number of occasions. Anything that makes my life easier is always a plus.

April Fools’

Today is the day! Everyone knows that April Fools’ Day is here. That means we must all be weary of any tricks that may be played on us. I think it’s one of the funniest holidays we celebrate here in America. I recently heard about a prank that I am going to try this year.

One thing that everyone has in common is a love for free money. I am going to take some quarters and superglue them to the pavement just outside of the door to our office. I know that many of my employees will try to pick them up be left wondering why they cannot do so!! I can’t to see the results!

Happy New Year

The New Year is ringing in and I am hoping that it will be a good one. I have made a few resolutions that I think will help me become a better person this year. One thing I have determined to do is to lose a few pounds. I want to start eating healthier and have taken steps to do so.

There are a lot of little things to do that all add up to a better way of living. I am going to eat more fruits and vegetables this year and try to lay off the fatty diet I have become used too. I hope that everyone else will take some steps to improve their life as well. Good Luck and Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas to all!!!

It’s that wonderful time of the year again and I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. This years Christmas has been wonderful so far and I hope it has been for you too! We had a great ham dinner and relatives galore. We had some great phone calls from far away family and cards and letters from old friends. All the presents are unwrapped and everyone got a treat. All in all it was a great time for all!

Last chance

Well I guess that Christmas is almost upon us. This weekend will probably be the last chance I have to complete my Christmas shopping. I feel fortunate to have it all nearly done, but there are a few last minute gifts I need to buy. Even though the weather is very cold, I think I’ll brave it and go to the mall for one last look around.

There are a few people at work that I’d like to get something for. I always find it difficult to buy for my coworkers and that’s why I tend to put it off till last. I think that buying some gift cards will be the ticket this year and I’ll hand them out like candy. I guess that I’ll probably receive a few gift cards myself!

Happy Holidays!!!

It’s that special time of year again when the whole family gets together. The Thanksgiving Holidays are always a special time for our family as we all enjoy the time we get to spend with each other catching upon the latest news. Another aspect of this particular holiday I like is to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

I love to wake up and watch the floats go by and the marching bands play. I am always reminded of the many characters that have touched our lives and become a part of the American culture. Well, I got to go eat and so I just wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Love them gift cards!

I have thought that the invention of the gift card was a great idea. Its ease of purchase in the event that an emergency gift was required made it a useful tool. I have been saved from an embarrassing situation more than once by being able to purchase a quick gift for a forgotten event.

It turns out that there can be drawbacks to this wonderful item. Some cards carry fees that reduce their value over time. Another problem is that many times the cards are never used. When they are used, it’s not uncommon that the buyer ends up spending more money than they thought by using the card! Despite their drawbacks, I still love the gift card!

The 4th of July is here!

One of the best holidays is the 4th of July. I like to spend the day cooking up the hamburgers and hotdogs in the backyard with the family. It’s always a great day and I really enjoy spending time with the kids. The best part is that it’s topped off with fireworks at night!

I love to see the big show and we go every year. I never tire of seeing the big displays and loud bangs. I am looking forward to celebrating our countries independence with my family and friends. I hope I’ll be able to see some of you at the big show!!

Paul Bunyan Day

One of my favorite childhood stories was of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox “Babe”. I was glad to hear there is a day to recognize the tales of legend and his heroic feats. Paul did many deeds in his life including the clearing of North and South Dakota for farming, Creating Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes with his footprints, and scooping out the Great lakes in order to better water his pet ox.

I am glad to be reminded of this giant of a man and his great deeds. I will be sure to pass along the legend to my children and hope they will continue the tradition by passing it along to theirs.
