We’re adding a kitchen to my outdoor garden

My house is behind my place of business.  There is a breezeway or garden center between my home and the back of the business.  I love it out there and have decided to add an outdoor kitchen. I had no idea where to start to find what I wanted until someone told me about fire magic outside kitchens . Well I jumped on my handy-dandy computer and checked on the Internet and found just what I was looking for.  I didn’t just want a grill, I wanted a more or less complete outdoor kitchen and that’s what I found.

I have to admit that it really took me a long time of looking to find the one that was perfect for me because they have so many different styles, options, and sizes.  You can even get a beer tap if you want.  Talk about a great party time, that would make for one don’t you think?  Grilled ribs and beer on tap makes for a perfect evening if you ask me.  They have some great built in grills, fireplaces and everything you need to make your outdoor kitchen perfect including stainless steel appliances and just about any accessory you could think of.  I can’t wait until I get mine and everything put in.  It will be party time for sure.

Rachel got a Tacori engagement ring!!

Well Rachel and Jayce have decided to get married before the baby is born.  I was tickled pink to hear that because I honestly was afraid he would skip town on her.  Well that’s not going to happen for sure because he bought her a Tacori engagement ring.  Have you ever seen Tacori engagement rings before?  They are absolutely gorgeous and about the best value for your money of any engagement rings I have seen.  Yeah, I’m the one that told him about them.  Not many people know that I was engaged years ago.  They all think I am just a spinster I guess.

See my man bought me a Tacori engagement ring before he went off to war in Vietnam when I was 18 years old.  I felt like the most special woman in the world.  Just imagine this handsome Marine in his dress blues on his knee asking me to marry him while holding the most beautiful engagement ring I had ever seen.  It didn’t take me but a second to say “YES”.  He left for Vietnam two weeks later and never came home.  I never thought about marrying anyone else either.

JR Dunn sure knows his diamonds and especially what will make a girl feel like a princess because that’s exactly what the diamond ring from his store did for me.  That’s not all his store carries either so you should check him out if you want your lady to feel special too.

Yeeeehaaaa!

Well one of my waitresses just told me the funniest joke and I wanted to share it with you.  I didn’t realize what the end was going to be until she told me and I almost fell off of my bar stool laughing.  I hope it at least brings a smile to your face too.  Smiles are good for your soul you know!

A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down. An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town.

She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off. The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the Indian would let out ‘Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a’ so loud that it echoed from the surrounding hills..

When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service station, yelled one final ‘Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!’ and rode off.

‘What did you do to get that Indian so excited?’ asked the service-station attendant. ‘Nothing,’ the woman answered. ‘I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto the saddle horn so I wouldn’t fall off.’

‘Lady,’ the attendant said, ‘Indians don’t use saddles’

My niece just graduated with honors

I’m sure you can just imagine how very proud our whole family is of my niece graduating high school with honors.  She’s not only a beautiful girl on the inside and outside but she has brains too.  Beauty and brains, that’s a winning combination if you ask me.  I wanted to give her something special for her graduation and Seiko Watches just happens to be one of my favorite things to give on special occasions like this. Not only are they useful, but they are of the finest you can buy.  I wanted her to know just how proud I am and I think this watch will tell her just that.

She’s got a very bright future ahead of her and starts college this fall.  Well a great time piece will help her to be on time for all of her classes and also show that she has class too.  It took me awhile to pick out just the perfect Seiko Watch for her but when I found it, I knew this one was the one.  She’s a very small and dainty girl but has also gotten over 5 deer too so she’s an all around kind of girl.  What do you think of this watch I chose for her?  I think it’s perfect.

What an amazing talent

Everyone knows that New Orleans is known for it’s Cajun food.  Most everyone knows who Hank Williams is too and if not, they know who Hank Williams Jr. is.  Well I found this video and could not believe what I was seeing and hearing.  It’s of Hank Williams Jr. and his 5 year old son on stage.  This little fella is playing a button accordion and singing his grandfathers song ‘Jambalaya’.  I had to share it with you!!  Enjoy!!!

Nothing like a good bed to help you sleep better

I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night sometimes so I decided to totally redo my bedroom.  First I decided to paint the walls a soothing blue color since I heard that you sleep better in a blue bedroom or at least with a blue blanket.  Then I decided I needed a whole new bed. Well I go to my trusty computer and start searching for beds.  Man did I come up with a long list of sites for beds but the one that really caught my eye was a web site in the UK.

My bedroom is rather large but storage space has always been a problem since I tend to be a bit of a pack rat.  I have old quilts from as far back as my great-grandmothers hand sewn quilts and they are very important to me.  Well what I found was called a ‘Tuscany Ottoman Bed Frame’.  It’s a leather bed but the best part of it is the whole bed lifts up to reveal storage under the mattress.  I don’t fully understand converting the UK’s money into our money and I’m not sure if they will even ship it to the States but I sure hope so.  I absolutely love that bed.  Well I gotta get back to looking and seeing if they will ship here.

How to hug a baby….by the family dog

If this isn’t the cutest thing you have ever seen, then you need to send whatever it is that is cuter than this.

Instructions for properly hugging a baby:

1. First, uh, find a baby

ATT00049

2. Second, be sure that the object you found was

indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques.

ATT00052

3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process.

ATT00055

4. The ‘paw slide’

Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.

5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute

the difficult and patented ‘hug, smile, and lean’ so as to achieve the best photo quality.

Have you heard about this?

This is just about the funniest thing I have ever heard or read.  It’s a good lesson in “Think before you speak” and that’s a lesson we all have to keep learning unfortunately!!

This one had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow, but don’t get any? We had a female news anchor who,the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked:

So Bob, where’s that 8 inches you promised me last night?

Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, they were laughing so hard!
