Can you Imagine?

 

Those were the days when I could look good in my clothes.  Now, I just try to hide in my clothes, with all the fat and wrinkles, I have accumulated.  When I look in the mirror, I can't see anything that resembles this person here.  Being old is not funny, but I guess it's better than being dead.

Tech 21

Looking at the website you may found more than one item that peaks your interest.  This online store gives great service, along with quality items at moderate prices.  When looking for a http://www.guitarcenter.com/Tech-21/  this would certainly be the place for good value.  I will also be searching their other items, to see what sales I can find.

Music

This is the season when beautiful Christmas music is played.  The birth of the Christ, is something many people observe, each year.  When performing it's important to have the right equipment.  Looking for a good music store, is hard to do in some neighborhoods.  Going online to the  bedford park il store, is possible and yet you don't even need to live there.  For more information or the location, click on the above link in this post.

Musical Instruments

Our local high school marching band, is breaking all the records, lately.  They've even been invited to go to London, England to perform.  I'm sure all the parents are in a dizzy, trying to get things together, to finance the trip.  They, will need to make sure their child's instrument, has all the extra parts and accessories, needed to have a successful performance.  They can go to  musicfriends  online store and shop, plus get the items shipped to their home address, for quick service.  Check out the link in this post for all you music product needs.

Minarik?

I've heard of several different brands of guitars, but the  minarik guitars  is one I haven't heard of.  It's being offered by the website, listed under the link in this post.  Those of you that are interested in the value and quality of this instrument, need to click on the above link and do some research on it.  I know that they have a good selection of instruments, because I visited their website before.

Straps

 Got to have a guitar strap for better handling when standing.  That's a must for any entertainer, when on stage.  It's not my expertise, but have you looked at all the different accessories offered for guitars?  The different brands, like  italia guitar straps  come into view, when you shop for them.  Quality, is a must and the look or feel may come when you adjust it.  I've not bought one, but there's plenty at this website, to shop for.

So It Is Christmas

Here we are in the middle of December, with only a few days till Christmas and people are running around getting things together for the big day.  I've lost interest in most of the season trimming's since the kids are gone and grown.  It's just almost another day, since they all have separate lives and live in different areas of the USA. 
I have one person who I make efforts for and he's my man, who I live with daily.  There are at least 3 of my kids and one of his that we send gift cards to.  Other than that, it's a day we spend together, being thankful for each other and the time we have together.
I'll cook if that's what we decide to do, but if we go for the other, then we will drive to a local restaurant and have our Christmas meal.  There is at least one or two that are open on Christmas day.  Lucky them!  We will give each other the gifts that we decided on and get ready for the coming day, when he will head back to work.  I suppose I'm lucky in a way, because there are many people who will not have anyone or anything to spend or do with this Christmas.  We have a home, plenty of food, cars and the bills are paid on time.  That's a good thing in itself, considering the times I wondered where the next paycheck would come from and if there would be enough for food.  Yes, we have a good life, and I am thankful for the blessings I have daily.
So, with this said, I want to send wishes for a Merry Christmas to you and yours, this year and remember the "Reason For The Season", JESUS CHRIST.

Another Birthday

 They say one foot in the grave and the other sliding.  How many times have I said that to someone who was older than me?  Now the shoe fits and it don't feel a damn bit good.  I guess I'll try and go out gracefully, but I know that won't be the case with me.  I'll be fighting it tooth and claw and hating every moment I loose ground.
Yesterday, I had another birthday and it's really causing me to feel old.  Looking in the mirror doesn't help either.  So, here's to the good Lord's grace to grant me another day of life.  Thank you Lord for your blessings.

Back Then

Happy Birthday's

As often as the weather, we find that birthday's come around yearly.  It seems that there's always plenty of questions about how to make each birthday special for that certain person.
Living in California, is great because you have so many things to choose for your theme's and entertainment.  The  themed birthday parties Los Angeles  , CA have been something to make an annual affair.  It's not just a company who is there to make things happen for you, but one which you will relish for many different events.

Moments

Reflecting back on the last month, I have watched a series of events occur and these things are a run of the mill scenario.  We've gone from sleet, snow and ice to spring like weather, with spring officially beginning March 22nd, and now we've even enjoyed Easter in the last week.  It's my hope that everyone had a safe great Easter.
This week started off with the much needed rain and it looks as though we will be getting more as the week progresses.  That's a good thing and yet it hampers much needed things to be done outdoors.  So, we'll take the good with the bad and maintain!

Snow

 

Twice in one week we have had snow.  Now, maybe people in the eastern states are accustomed to this, but not us Texans.  We don't like much snow, and are glad when the sun comes out to melt it.

Texting

The end of a game left us with a bitter taste in our mouths this last weekend.  Usually, me and some family members will text each other during the Cowboy games.  It was going in this direction until suddenly, it got quiet on my phone and I realized that the family didn't want to talk about it anymore.  They were pissed because the Cowboy's couldn't pull it out for a win.  It gets that way every season, when the consistent teams folds under pressure.  My family just can't accept that this team isn't what it once was.  Poor Cowboy's!

Day After

I'm sure all who celebrate Thanksgiving were full of good food, yesterday.  They either made it, went to a cafe, shelter, or family get together to enjoy the feast.  I for one was the cooker, and then when I ate, I made a glutton of myself and was miserable the rest of the day.  I really didn't want anymore to eat the rest of the day even though there was pumpkin pie, made fresh the day before.
Today, I have had a turkey sandwich and plan on a good meal, later this evening.  Thank God I'm not crazy enough to be out there fighting with the idiots who are looking for good deals this "Black Friday".  I'll just take the easy way out when shopping for Christmas this year.  It's the same as several years before, since I've been online with internet help.  Gift cards are much easier to get and the person receiving them, can get what they want.  If they return their gifts then it's their own faults.

Yummy Food

Here's a few pictures of our family dinner, and the most important thing of the day.......the food......

does that picture look crooked to you?

Same Sex?

There are so many things happening with the world today. There are so many disputes about this law and I wonder when they will ever get a common ground. A law to allow same-sex marriage in New York is hung up in the state Senate. It could come to a vote before the end of the year. One judge warned that failing to look at the larger question of same-sex marriages will create a larger problem. 

New York's top court on rejected a Christian legal group's challenge to government benefits given to same-sex couples legally married elsewhere. But the court avoided deciding that same-sex couples are entitled to all the rights of other married couples.
