My Answering Machine

Blog Prompt: Today is National Inane Answering Message Day. What would you really like to say on your answering machine?

We usually haven’t been getting sales pitches, you know what I mean, type of calls, until recently.

It’s all sales pitches to refinance your loan or help with your credit card and even though its computer generated calls, our private system we have with the phone company isn’t picking them up.

All I want to do is have my answering machine pick up and tell them that the mortage on my grass hut doesn’t need to be refinanced!!!!!

But I have found the most perfect answering machine message to let those annoying so and so’s listen to when they call you.

American Idol

Heat Your Home

Oh my goodness its been cold here this year in Florida.  Much colder than normal and we have had to use our heater more than we ever have before.   I know all my friends up north right now don’t have any heat because of all the ice.

My system is pretty new and I keep the maintenance on it, but when its time to get a new contractor HVAC system, you need to do your homework.  There are great products out there made by Trane, Carrier, Goodman and many others.  I have a Trane and love it!  Great company with great products.

Puzzle Mania

Blog Prompt: Today is National Puzzle Day. What kind of puzzles do you like or dislike and why?

My husband and I love doing puzzles.  After we get done with taxes every year, its like a release of tension and we will get a 1000 piece puzzle, lay it out and start putting it together.  He will work on it a bit and then I will work on it.  Depending on how difficult it is, we usually put one together in a week.

The thing of it is, we always set this puzzle up on the kitchen table and it gets in the way.  I have a table on the lanai and I need flat surface to put out there to lay the puzzle pieces on .  One of those card table fold up tops.

My fav puzzle right now was one that was all the dog breeds.  That was fun to put togther.  The ones with a lot of one color, I don’t care to put them together.  But, I will do it just to work my brain a bit more.

The picture shows the dog puzzle. Lots of brown in that one.

Loving it Outdoors

As many of you already know, I live in Florida, so a great deal of our time is spent outside. I love sitting on my lanai and watching my butterfly garden and the birds at their feeders. The only problem I have sitting out there is that we have the most uncomfortable furniture ever!!

I think I have found the right Outdoor Furniture for the lanai that will be durable, very comfortable and nice on the eyes. There are all types of products to choose from such as seating, dining, bars and storage boxes. They also have great cushions to match my decor too!

The furniture I am really wanting is wicker furniture in a dark color with reddish thick and comfy cushions. That would look so nice and be so comfy in my lanai. The picture at the left is what I am looking for.

Check out BuyOutdoorFurnitureOnline.com for your next purchase of
Patio Furniture . Choose from wicker, aluminum and teak furniture.

There are also great fire pit to choose from to help keep it cozy on those chilly nights outdoors.

And don’t forget their offer of Free Shipping and Discounted Prices.

Music in My Heart

Today is National Kazoo Day. What is your favorite musical instrument and why?

I love so many different kinds of instruments.  I played the clarinet in school and pecked at the piano.  But I can’t truly say I have a favorite one.

Watching my son grow up and learning different instruments, I have enjoyed each one he has accomplished.  First it was the tuba, the piano and then the violin.  He also plays the hand bells and because he is a music major, he had to learn all the instruments to teach.

Music is a big part of my life and I constantly have some kind of music playing while I work and especially while I am cleaning the house.  I don’t care for rap.  It’s just not my style of music.

I must show a layout of my son while he was in high school playing the tuba.  This is one of my first digital layouts I did a few years back.  Very simple, but at the time, I thought it was wonderful!!  I see so many things now that I would change about it.  Shadows and my word art where it shouldn’t be.  But I keep it around to remind me how I have improved over the years.

I have so many pictures of my son with his instruments and I need to make a new layout for that.

The kit is a freebie from DST.
