I’ve been looking for a new hat for over a year now. Last month my wife and I went to the Harley Davidson shop to see if they had anything I wanted. Lo and behold, I found what I wanted on the rack, first time around, we and purchased it. My wife says it is an early Christmas present, and that’s fine with me! It fits great, feels great, looks great. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my hat since I purchased it. Since I ride a Harley, and enjoy Harley memorabilia, it seems to fit right in.

As we wait for the controversy over the needed trench to be dug from the electrical junction in the neighbor’s yard out to our new garage for the electricity feed, my wife and I have been discussing and planning our Garage Cabinets strategy. As much as I’d like to buy all brand new Arrow Spacemaker Storage Cabinets for the garage, I know that our finances are very limited right now, so getting creative with Garage Storage Cabinets is the name of the game for now.
We already have a few Steel Storage Cabinets that we brought with us from New England when we moved down here, and I have been using them in the attached garage. Since my wife has decided that she wants to convert the attached garage into a family recreation room, complete with pool table, I’ve agreed to move as much of my automotive related items into the new garage. We’ve also reached a conclusion that we are going to have to start calling these different spaces by different names. Even they are technically both garages, we are going to try to start calling the new one “the shop.” And once we get the pool table moved into the attached garage maybe we’ll start calling that the “billiard room.”

I have some new eyes. It’s a pair of binoculars with a built in camera. I’ve seen these in the stores for years, always wanted some, but couldn’t afford any. I also like to watch birds a lot. I’ve been laid up for the past several months due to an auto accident and severe back injuries. Fortunately, I am able to be recovering from these injuries at home. Everyday whether sitting by the window, or walking down to the mailbox, I see lots of birds. I love to watch birds. I love to take pictures of birds. But with no income for processing camera pictures, etc., I have had to be content with just watching the birds and hoping that some day I would have some money to buy film, or to replace my missing binoculars that got lost during our move here.
Back to my new eyes…. Last night, I was sitting at the table, getting ready to eat supper. (I cook supper frequently, as my wife works and is tired when she gets home.) I was sitting at the table when my wife surprised me with a new pair of binoculars with a built-in-camera that she put in front of me. I was extremely shocked and happy; now I can watch the birds and take pictures from a distance with my new eyes. And, I can download the pictures onto the computer to share the pictures with my family.

My wife and I have been going to networking meetings every Wednesday morning for several months now. It is a business networking meeting of a lot of local businesses. We meet at the local Country Cooking restaurant and partake of the all-you-can eat breakfast buffet while we introduce ourselves and take turns talking about our business, our product or service, ourselves, and ask for referrals.
One of the ladies there is a wellness specialist. She is always talking about wellness products such as the ones made from acaia berry and the nopal cactus, like Trivita. I’ve asked her for some free samples and she has actually brought in a couple from time to time. Some of them are really nasty, but some of them taste pretty good. My wife has been talking to me for a very long time about how I should be looking at buying foods and supplements that have a reputation for reducing inflammation. She reminds me that since I suffer from arthritis, fibromyalgia, and herniated discs, and carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, what do I have to lose?
My wife also has arthritis, and she has reassured me that if we find a product that we both like that is supposed to be good for you and reduce the inflammation that can cause pain that she will take it with me. I’ll be sure to let you know which one(s) we like!

I really could not believe my eyes when I went down to the mailbox this afternoon to get the mail. We actually got a Christmas card in today’s mail that had been postmarked LAST YEAR! Sure had to wonder where that card had been tucked away all of this time!
My wife and I usually get our Christmas cards out in the mail Thanksgiving weekend, but we haven’t mailed them yet and we thought we were late! Wait until my wife gets home and sees that we got a Christmas card! She will be so shocked too! I’m going to tell her that it must have come by “turtle express.” What a riot!
