Cool banner stands

Our son really enjoys certain video games and has gone to a lot of conventions that are related to video games.  I can’t remember what they are called - something like game cons.  Anyway, when he comes home from these “cons” whatever they are, he brings with him some really cool banners that are pictures of some of his video game characters.   We’ve run out of wall space to display the all!

My wife has found some great banner stands we are planning to buy from a website by godfreygroup.com.  This company specializes in trade show displays and they have a great assortment of trade show exhibits and trade show booths in addition to the banner stands we are interested in buying.

Labor Day!

Filed under: Family, Food, Fun, General Living, Parenting — Copa @ 8:45 pm

We had a great Labor Day weekend!  The weather was great, and I managed to grill almost all of our meals outdoors!  I love to grill burgers, dogs, and steaks on the grill, and my wife really enjoys how much it helps her - she has much less to do when I am grilling!

Although I grill a mean steak, my burgers are the best.  I can even convince our son to leave his video games for a few minutes for one of my grilled burgers!  Now you have to understand that really says a lot!

New credit cards

My wife and I have been talking about how our youngest son needs to get a couple of credit cards in his own name to start building his own credit history.  He’s in college, and will be turning twenty one soon.  We started researching VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Credit Cards on the cardhub.com website to see what card would be the best card for him to apply for.  We found it interesting that on the left side of the website you could click in what kind of credit you have and then it would perform a wizard that showed you credit card offers that matched your credit.  We liked the informative articles about credit cards, too.  We’ll be telling our son to use that website himself to look at the offers and then we can discuss the choices with him before he makes a final decision.
