Personalized stationary

I have a great photo of me on my motorcycle.  I like it a lot.  I like it so much that I like to use it everywhere I can use it.  I found a great website where I can use it to make Photo Card Stationary.   The website is photocardsdirect.com.    All I have to do is send in a copy of the photo of me on my motorcycle and I can customize the verse to say anything I want it to say.  I can put whatever verse I want to create in my own words on the front or back of the card, or just leave it blank if I want it left blank. 

I send out a lot of cards and letters by USMail to a lot of different people – my mother up in New England, my aunt (also in New England) and my sister (in Iraq) to name a few.  They are always thrilled to get “real mail” and not just electronic mail.

So if I order blank-inside cards like that I can use them for any kind of card occassion, just mailing notes, thank you notes, birthday or Christmas cards.  I love my bike so much that having cards like that to use will probably motivate me to send out more mail!

I’ve included a picture of my favorite style card from that website so you can see that it is just the photo and no fancy borders.  I like that the best.

Heat wave

I can’t believe how hot it has been around here the past few days, in the 90’s every day.  The weatherman says with the heat index it “feels like the 100’s” and I sure do believe him.  I wanted to spray the lawn with some insecticide Sunday but my wife told me that if I did it would kill the grass.  I didn’t believe her, but I didn’t spray the lawn anyway.  Just my luck she would be right, and then I’d be listening to “I told you so.”  I don’t like listening to “I told you so.”
