I know I am getting older and I am noticing I am looking into more and more of things that might happen to me as I age more. I have recently gone over the half century mark in age and the idea of needing a wheelchair maybe in the near future.

And then I see the prices of special equipment for the elderly and those who can’t get around and I wonder how would I be able to do this on my retirement and my budget.

When my father wasn’t able to get around before he passed away, it was hard for him to get around and I wish we had had NMEDA to help us find a solution.  NMEDA is is a non-profit trade  association of mobility equipment dealers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals dedicated to broadening the opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. They don’t sell anything, they just want to make sure people with disabilities have the highest quality of items.  Not every disability is the same, and NMEDA knows that.

The Quality Assurance Program  was developed to promote quality, safety, and reliability within the industry and some states require dealers to participate in this program.

If you are needing any assistance in this area, please go to their website and click on the locate area to see where a dealer is in your area.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love staying in a hotel and having fun, not making up my bed and eating out.

But, how about winning a whole hotel for the weekend!! Hampton Hotel is having a Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes where you can win 100 rooms for an entire weekend and think of all the family and friends you could have all together for a wonderful weekend of making memories, catching up and just enjoying the great company.  Can you imagine all your friends and family meeting in the mountains, the beach or any where were you can enjoy the activities around, fine dining, maybe some golf.  And on top of that, the grand prize winner also receive $5000 to help pay the tax for the weekend!  What a prize to work for.

I would love this right now to spend a great weekend with my brother and his family, all his friends and co-workers and extended family.  He will be deployed next year and what a great way to spend time with him and the other who will be going with him.

The sweepstakes is open to everyone, not just those that are Hilton Honors members or those that have previously stayed at a Hampton.

Call your friends, family, neighbors, etc. and let them know about the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes and let them know that if they all enter, they could all be spending a wonderful weekend together in their own hotel

I have a business that is growing and I’ve been asked many times if I accept credit cards. It’s getting to be an inconvenience to my customers to not use their cards in my shopping cart.

So, I started doing some research for a Merchant Processing company and have found one in Bluepay.com. They have services for all kinds of businesses. Not just e commerce, but also for brick and mortar companies.  Their services are safe and secure for your customers information and transactions.

I know this will increase sales and profits by providing our customers the convenience and flexibility of placing orders on my website with the payment method of their choice.

I love my wordpress theme I made a couple of years ago, but I think its time for an update.  There are tons of wordpress themes out there but I have found some really great free wordpress themes online. No hassle downloading, no sign ins and the best part, they are free! There are 1 to 4 column themes, left and right sidebars, no picture themes to choose from. I love the way they have them separated by colors or type of business related theme you might want.  I love the one I am showing in the picture above and I think that will be the one I will use next.  Can’t wait to load this one up.

I have a white sink that I just can’t deal with anymore. You can’t clean it, it stains very easily and it scratches. I am ready to get rid of it and start looking for a decent top mount sink

I had a stainless steel sink in my last home and loved it!! It cleans well and it was really deep to wash big pans. MR Direct Sales stainless sinks are made with 16 gauge steel which is thicker than Kohl and Blanco sinks. I like that. Remember, you use your kitchen sink every day and you want one to last. I love their selection of top mount sinks. Easy clean up and they always look great. And now that stainless steel appliances are a big hit, why not have your sink match too.

The picture shows a great sink with 2 wells, one smaller than the other. Its just the 2 of us in this house, so I don’t need a very large sink for us. I just love the idea of having the smaller bowl with the garbage disposal in the smaller bowl.

They also have beautiful granite sinks that are made with green materials and is coated with Silver Ions, which kills 99% of bacteria on contact. What a great feature! I love the colors offered and these look great with granite counter tops. You can choose one with double bowls or one large one.

This is a sponsored guest post written by Memphis Travel on behalf of Memphis CVB. Post powered by Sponzai.

More than just the home of the blues and barbecue, Memphis gives you plenty of ways to play around, with fun things to do no matter who you are or what you like. Of course, if you’re into Elvis, rock-and-roll and mouth-watering ribs, you’ve got to check out Graceland, Sun Studios, and the Rendezvous. But Memphis has much more to offer than this holy trinity of southern culture, with enough to see, do and eat to make it the perfect location for your next long weekend getaway.

The families out there (or the wild at heart) should be sure to check out the Memphis Zoo, one of only four U.S. zoos with giant pandas. Recently ranked the #1 zoo in the U.S. by TripAdvisor.com, the Memphis Zoo lets you get up close and personal with the animal kingdom. And with the recent addition the Northwest Passage, home to Polar bears in a see-through underwater exhibit, and the zoo’s newest section, Teton Trek, kids and adults alike are certain to have a blast.

Don’t let your midtown experience stop at the zoo; the Cooper-Young and Overton Square neighborhoods are just down the street. Ask a local Memphian where to find a tasty bite to eat, great local music and ice cold beer, and they will probably direct you here. Speaking of beer … the environmentally conscious visitor can enjoy a locally brewed beer by Ghost River Brewing or walk through the natural landscape and educational facilities at the Lichterman Nature Center.

Memphis has museums for just about everything. From the Civil Rights Museum, Cotton Museum and Fire Museum in downtown to the Brooks Museum, Children’s Museum of Memphis and the Pink Palace Museum further east, the number of places to have fun while you learn are as bountiful as the barbeque restaurants. Families, friends, sports fans, history buffs, self-proclaimed food critics – Memphis has everything you need to keep everyone happy.

So when you visit Memphis, stay a few extra days. Even the locals don’t run out of things to do. And to make it easy, memphistravel.com is launching a new travel guide to help you plan your next vacation. Simply choose from a list of interests and you’ll be given a sample itinerary with lots of great ideas. You can also register for a chance to win one of twelve trip packages that include tours, gift certificates to Memphis’ favorite restaurants, hotel stays and more. Go to itinerary.memphistravel.com to get started.
