My mother expressed a strong interest in having a group family picture be taken the last time we were all together, so that she could use the photo for just that purpose. The last time we were all together was many, many years ago, but most of us were around for our parent’s anniversary dinner only a few months ago (only a few people couldn’t attend) and I made sure that plenty of pictures were taken, in the hopes of getting at least one decent picture that everyone would be pleased with enough, knowing that it would be used for Christmas time purposes. I was pleased that several came out very well, I just hope that Mom & Dad can come to a quick agreement as to which one will be used

I’ve decided that I’m going to send my mother the link to ChristmanCardsDirect.com and ask her to see if she sees a design or two to her liking, I saw several that I’m pretty sure she will like, knowing my mother’s taste as I do these days, seems I spend enough time over there helping them out around the house. Not complaining mind you.

While my mother is on their site I will urge her to please have dad along with her and read up on their Photo Card Taking Tips and some of their articles that I think they should learn a few things from. They know their way around the computer quite well and this site is easy enough to maneuver around in, I always encourage them to do as much as they can before I need to step into the picture for any guidance or assistance with their many schemes and adventures that they get themselves into.

While transferring information from my old laptop to my newly purchased one, I am coming across plenty of sites like this one that I had forgotten all about, bookmarked years ago and never went back to. It has been interesting looking at some of thing, wondering more than once, why I had ever bookmarked it in the first place.

I’ve called her and left a message, inviting her over for dinner and a movie tomorrow, wasn’t surprised to get her voice mail, since she is most likely working. She has been a nurse, in a private practice for many years and decided to see more of the world and went to work in the travel nursing field, working for one of the few travel nursing agencies, just last year and seems to really love it.

She is full of energy, this one is, I can certainly see why she wouldn’t be happy stuck in an office all day, this type of work seems to fit her personality and lifestyle much better. I tell you what, if I was ever in the need of a personal nurse, she would be at the top of the list to call, and I hope that I hear from her soon. Maybe I can talk her into dinner and a movie when she is available and not traveling around trying to take care of everyone.

A Medicare scooter would be a great asset to him, he was always so active and the thought of being confined to bed or a wheelchair is unthinkable. With so many different styles and varieties of these helpful scooters, going online is a good way to look around and educate yourself on which one would truly benefit your particular needs, much easier that way.

The Scooter Store has a great selection of these mobility assisting scooters and chairs and has locations and a network of specialists and consultants all across America. Limited mobility is a serious issue and they strive to work with doctors and insurance companies to assist you with all of your needs with their specialty services.

On last night’s episode one of the millionaires really went first class on his first date of choice.  He took the time and money that it takes to charter a private jet to Paris where they ate dinner at a 1st rate French Restaurant that his date expressed an interest in during the social hour that proceeds the actually date.  They made a good couple that I thought might have a chance at a long term relationship, so I was surprised at the end of the show that they never went out again. Just show to go ya, one never knows when it comes to love.

Last week, at work, a co worker of mine had to bring her mother-in-law into the office for a while, waiting for the time to arrive so that she could take her to a doctor’s appointment. The mother-in-law (who’s name is Rose) ended up sitting right close to my desk and we had a very pleasant conversation for close to an hour about all types of things. She turned out to be a very interesting and entertaining lady.

I am going to try and take advantage of this most wonderful weather and spend as much time as I can outside enjoying as much as I possibly can. The cold, wet winter weather is just around the corner, and that is not something that I am looking forward to, come what may.

I didn’t even know that this place even existed for heaven’s sake. She came home with a camera full of interesting and colorful pictures, that she emailed me, the last photo being of the counter that displayed many old time candies, including the fake cigarettes that used to be so popular back in the day.

There is so much to do to get ready for the harsh winter weather, I still have to find a decent price for a new tire chain that I have been putting off since last winter. Guess I will take the time over this weekend and go online and see what I can come up with there since I have no urge to go out looking in any of the stores around here with all the hassles that go along with shopping retail.

You see the family has been wanting to check into some travel books  and online sites that will assist with planning a family get a way during the long holiday breaks that most of us get to enjoy. The kids in the family have really been looking forward to spending time with relatives that they don’t get to see very often. They have all been pushing to go some where that they can enjoy all of the numerous winter sports that are available these days. The big one is snowmobiling and snow boarding, which has become so popular the people much younger than me, I can tell you that.

The older folks in the family are all about going somewhere nice and warm to get as far away as they can from the harsh winter weather that we always experience during those winter months. As they say “you can’t please everyone” but if no one can afford this family event it doesn’t look like any of us will be going anywhere any time soon, sigh….
