Shopping for the gardens

  • Posted on April 26, 2013 at 9:47 am

Today, since the sun is shining and the weather is supposed to be warm this weekend, which I will believe when I feel it, I’ve decided to visit the local garden centers and see what goodies I can find, and also shop for the items on my list that I’ve been compiling all winter in preparation for my gardens.

I’d also like to get some lawn and porch furniture, the chairs and such I have now are worn and I want a fresh new look.

I know of a few stores that have some great sales so perhaps I can also save some money to sink into new garden tools and also some planters I’ve been wanting to buy. I’ve got to replace some of the old bricks in the courtyard and also get some more seeds and top soil. I have a feeling this is going to be an expensive shopping trip, but I’ve saved all winter for this and nothing is going to deter me!

Art Prints and More

Since I am always on the look out for special gifts to give to friends, and also card are a big thing for me to send, I surf the net for sites that offer unique gifts, goodies, art and items I can give as gifts. I love to send Thank You Cards and I have plenty of dear friends that I like to thank on a regular basis. The cards can say a whole lot in just even one small sentence, combined with a great design. In other words, I’m a card freak!!

Art Prints make a special gift when I want to give them to a person as a “just because” gift. While I was on the site where I’d like to order the cards from, I read about the artist and I think that the creator of these pretties and goodies really is a unique person who can make you happy just by looking at what she creates. I’d love to hang some of her prints in my home!

There is a link also on this site that deals with Business Planning. I’m going to check out all the particulars in more debt to see what it is all about and if this could be of assistance with my small business. It’s always worth the shot checking out various helpful ways of building a business up. In the mean time, I’m going to see what I may want to order. There are some friends birthdays coming up and I have a feeling I can find a great gift for each of them!

Celebrating Earth Day

  • Posted on April 22, 2013 at 12:48 pm

This morning for Earth Day a lot of the people in our small town banded together and cleaned the banks of the small stream that winds through the town and into the river. It was no easy task. I could not believe the garbage that people dumped there and also the amount of debris that gathered on the banks just over the winter, due to blowing winds and the elements.

In my opinion, I believe that Earth Day should be observed every day, to keep our environment clean, and the animals natural habitats safe. I hope every one does something, no matter how small or large to help save the earth. It may be wishful thinking, but it sure would make a difference.

Divorce Lawyer in Farmington Hills Mi.

  • Posted on April 15, 2013 at 9:48 pm

As much as I hate to hear bad new, my friend Lisa who lives in north of me, called and is looking for a Divorce Lawyer in Farmington Hills MI which is near where she lives. I had a feeling that things were not going well with the marriage, but my friend is one of those people who try to keep things up beat and not make big scenes. That is until her husband started all kinds of problems with custody, the house and even the vehicles, saying that they were his despite of the fact that everything is in both of their names.

She told me she had found a professional representative named Judith H. Blumeno and even shared the lawyers Attorney Profile, which was rather impressive. I think this lawyer can really help my friend with the troubles her husband is trying to push on her.

I feel a lot better knowing that Lisa has a good lawyer, or at least she is looking and doing her homework on who she would like to represent her and if they can give her the best representation at a reasonable price. It’s hard enough to go through a divorce so one shouldn’t have to be blown away with the cost or have any hidden surprises.

New neighbor and her monkey

  • Posted on April 15, 2013 at 8:58 pm

I had what I consider an amazing experience today…maybe not amazing but something that made me very happy. The neighbors who moved in across the road haven’t been seen all winter. In fact it’s always looked like the house was staying empty. I didn’t know until today that someone was finally living in the home.

Today I was outside cleaning up the front yard from winter junk, and a lady about ten years younger than me…maybe less, walked buy with a live monkey on her shoulder. The monkey had a diaper on and was so darn cute. She said hello to me and I though she was going to walk right by, but intead she started to introduce her self to me. She told me her name while I was staring at the monkey… I love monkeys. Then the monkey took flying leap and clutched me around my neck and just stayed there sort of hugging me with it’s face in the side of my neck.

To my total surprise, the little monkey climbed up on my shoulder, started making these kissing noises and chattering, then started grooming my hair. She even took my hair pretty out and finger combed about two feet of hair. It was so cool, if truth be known. The owner said her monkey had never done that to anyone else except her and it meant she had accepted me as one of her own. So now a monkey thinks I’m family. It really was a great experience.
