Remember

Green Beans

In this picture is my green beans that I have planted in a pot, on my patio.  At the present I live in an apartment and the only way I can grow anything is in planters or pot.  I've had to carry the soil that I bought at the store up 2 flights of stairs to get the stuff going.  I hope to get a few beans from these healthy looking plants.

New Things

When you move from one place to another, you find that you want something new to compliment your new surroundings and give your ego a boost.  I always get new bedding to make my bedroom festive and comfy.  I have considered shopping online at the  peacock alley bedding  website, to get some ideas and see what they have on "sale".  I will probably find more items than I can afford at one time.  I'm sure being a woman won't help much either.

The Tree

 

On the right of this picture is a large elm tree that has been there for years.  This tree once sprawled out with beautiful full branches which were climbed by me.  The electric company has since made a mess of this tree and cut it back so bad that there is only one side of it left.  I believe this tree is probably over 150 years old, since it was already huge when I was a small child.

Going Home

Excitement is mounting on a daily level, as I anticipate the coming move to my childhood home.  I've only recently found that it would becoming available and this started a gush of events.  I will soon be sitting in this yard and mowing the lawn along with all the other things a property commits me to.  The house looks quite a bit different today, from when I lived there as a child, but it's still got the insides that I remember and the big tree out in the front yard, I once climbed. 

Humid

 If you've ever been to Austin, TX or live in an around the area, then you know how humid it can get during a heavy rain or storm.  It seems the pollen and spores start flying a right after one of the hard rains.  I wonder if it stirs up this stuff when the high winds hit?  There's a center for allergy treatment austin  people can go to for help.  There's several treatments that can give relief from the nasty stuff that's flying around in the air they breathe.  Having relief is something relished, by people who suffer from allergies.

Disasters

It's been one after another lately and the season for all of these types of weather is upon us.  The US has been fairly fortunate but have had our share of disasters.  We try to maintain and wonder how it is that we can work so hard to build a life, only to loose it in seconds?  Flooding of the Mississippi River, caused horrible damage as well as the tornadoes that hit the southern states.  Joplin now has a huge mess to clean up and the survivors are reeling from the trauma.  The storm center has predicted an active hurricane season this year, so we aren't out of the woods, yet.

Scanners

In most of the stores today, you see these scanners.  It helps with employee error and keeps things moving with correct codes and prices of the items.  You can buy a laser barcode scanner  for you store, if you have need to keep up with a lot of items.  This is a convenience that wasn't around back in the early 60's and now most stores can't do without them.  The population was much smaller back then as well, so items weren't as hard to handle.  Automation has taken hold of the world and it's now necessary to move along with it.

Trees

Large trees are scattered about the yard in a beautiful attempt to give shade from the summer sun.  I will be living here very soon and will need to have some of the trees trimmed back for safety during the storms.  We have had some severe storms lately, as happens every year here in the south.  I noticed that a limb fell from a large tree in the front yard during the last storm.  That tree has been growing in the front yard ever since I was a small girl.  I'm now in my 60's and the tree was already very large back then.

Plus Size

There's something for us girls who can't fit into a size 6 or 10 anymore.  It's the plus size revolution and it's for us larger ladies.  The stores are giving more designs a fashion trends in clothing as well as plus size sexy lingerie  for those private moments. The plus for most of the women who are large is that there really are some men who like large women.  So, why not indulge in something pretty and cute for a special night?  He'll appreciate it and I'm sure there will be some benefits for you as well.

Another Day

 

It's been another day of bad weather, and looks to keep going for a few days.  Yesterday, was full of storms and they predict today that they will be here again, after around 4pm.  I'm worried the tornades will make their way to our area, since they have been hitting many of the other states.

Muscle

Body builders, use several different ways to get the desired shape they want to be in.  I see them pumping away at the health centers and spas.  Some of them use creatine powder  to help with the development of their muscles and torso.  I know we women love to see a man who's body is buff and the men love to see the effects of their efforts.  Make sure to get as much information as possible before starting this type of routine.  Click on the above link and read about this product.

Lettuce

I planted this lettuce a few months ago, but alas it suffered the defeat of growing an a planter.  I tried to salvage it, but the efforts were not successful.  I have since planted different seeds in the area in hopes of them surviving the soil and limited space.

Wrinkles

They have released a new product which is supposed to help with wrinkles.  I don't know about you, but I'm in need of such products.  My age is moving on up on my body and my face needs some help as well.  The  skincell vial #29A  is considered to be the latest product able to reduce wrinkles with the natural effects it produces.  I read that it has not been reported with any side effects, which is a good thing for people with health problems.  For more information about this beauty product, click on the above link and read about it.

Bad Weather

We've had our share of bad weather here in the DFW area and it's been rather scary.  I hope that we make it through the weather alert, since there is damaging wind and hail predicted.  This is a natural thing for the spring time in our area of the state.  We always hunker down and hope for the best.

Mississippi Flooding

 

 Just another eerie scene that leaves us wondering what will be next, as we watch in horror at the devastation the people in the south are experiencing.  Mississippi flood waters creep up the flood walls that commemorate the historic flood of 1927 in downtown Vicksburg, Miss. Army engineers prepared Saturday, May 14, 2011 to slowly open the gates of an emergency spillway along the rising Mississippi River, diverting flood waters from Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

Medicare Needs

 If you find yourself over the age of 50, then you know what's coming in the near future.  There are many "baby boomers" who are well aware of the situation I'm telling you about.  I am one of them, and recently I was sent all this paperwork in the mail about a Medicare plan  for my health.  Being healthy, I felt this to be an insult, but realized how quickly life can change.  I know that there are many who are utilizing these benefits on a daily basis.  To get information about a good plan, you can click on the above link.

Race Day

 

The Grand Stand area is seen before the running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, May 7, 2011.  I'm sure my daughter is watching, because she's a horse trainer and loves the world of horse racing. 

 

The official bugler at Churchill Downs since 1995, blows the call to post for a first race ahead of the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky.  Good luck to all!

GPS

Most of the new cars are coming equipped with the tracking systems.  I have an older car that paid for, and I'm not really ready to install a tracking system in it.  There are many young people who swear by their  magellan gps   since they have a hard time understanding maps.  If it's on the map then the tracking system can find it for them and point them in the right direction.  For information and prices click on the above link and shop.

Never Forget !

DISD

The Dallas School District has laid off over 200 employees.  These cuts come with the problems that the district was already experiencing.  As of last Friday these positions were cut in order to trim the financial budget already in trouble.  Some people blame this problem on the Governor of our fine State as well as the other departments in our State government.  Many of the jobs that were cut are central and some were just vacancies that were eliminated.  Either way the children of the Dallas Schools stand to loose the standard of education they deserve.
