GARAGE SALEN

Did you ever go to garage sales? I did today. What a great experience. This is where you meet good people have good conversation and maybe, maybe come across a good bargain. I sell on E-Bay so I always have my open for something that I think will sell. I mainly look for Wilton character cake pans and Strawberry Shortcake items and anything Eeyore. In my ventures today I was not fortunate enough to find these things, but I did get out of the house and get around town for awhile. I did wind up with a picture of Donald Duck, Pluto and a large stuffed Eeyore. I will put these on E-Bay and who knows, they might sell.

RAINY DAY

Today is friday and I am planning to go to the camper early so I can get the grass cut and the place looking beautiful for the Memorial Day weekend. It is raining now but I hope it will stop and give the grass a chance to dry out. Tomorrow is the flea market where I hope to make my millions. Hahahahaha.
To everyone who reade this - HAVE A GOOD AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY.

BIG WEEKEND AHEAD

With the Memorial Day weekend just ahead, the campground is buzzing with the amount of people that will be there because every camp site is rented. Extra security will be on hand because people can get crazy thinking that just because it is a holiday weekend and they are drinking and probably camping the only time this year except maybe for Labor Day. The campground will have their usual flea market but only this weekend it will be on a grander scale. There will be a carnival and of course bingo. I'm sure the air will be filled with the smell of burning wood from camp fires and cooking. This is the weekend that the master grillers will appear. The children will be kept busy by the Yogi recreation employees who will show their skills by coming up with fantastic ideas for crafts and games. Least we forget the wagon ride with Yogi around the campground with delighted children sitting near Yogi either touching him, getting hugs or the few lucky ones sitting on his lap. Of course mom and dad will be there taking pictures of this special event to show friends and relatives and keep the pictures tucked away in a drawer only to take them out when their child brings home a date a few years down the road. Well all in all it's going to be fun and hopefully warm and dry. HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY AND REMEMBER WHAT THE DAY STANDS FOR.

AIDDIN IN HOSPITAL

On Wednesday my grandson in Texas, Aiddin, woke up and was playing as usual. He went with Lorri, his mom, to the gas station as usual to get her coffee and him chocolate milk. On this day he said he didn't want any and tummy hurt, by the way Aiddin is 3 years old. When they got home he went potty and said he felt better so he and mom went grocery shopping. When they got back home Aiddin usually help bring the groceries in but this time he was no where to be found. After Lorri brought the groceries in she went looking for him. She found him curled up on the rocker fast asleep. She let him sleep there and when he got up he felt warm and she took his temp. It was 103. She called and was able to see the doctor at 4:30. By 5:00 his temp. was 105 and he was in the hospital. With no visible signs the day before it was said that he had a double ear infection, throat infection and on the verge of pneumonia. This is Friday and he is still in the hospital although feeling much, much better. Thank God. Hopefully he will be coming home today. You just never know about the little ones.

EATING AT BK

On Mothers Day after I placed flowers on my wife's resting site I had that feeling in my stomach that told me I was hungry. It was about 2:00 and I really didn't feel like going home and cooking. I decided to go to BK for dinner. I went to a BK in Schererville, IN that is attached to a gas station (where the price for gas was $3.49). I approached the counter planning on eating there. I had to wait a few minutes while the counter girl finished talking to her friends at the drive-thru. While she did this I had a chance to look around. By doing this I decided not to eat there. The front counter looked like it had not been cleaned in a week. The area where the soda is was just as bad with lids scattered all over and soda spilled on the lids. The eating area looked like it had not been swept for some time. There was a table where a family had eaten and the table was covered with food as well as the floor. Nobody seemed to care. Although I think the persons that ate at the table could have cleaned the table somewhat. Just goes to show you how some people are. Where was the manager, or didn't he or she care either. Go BK!

MOTHERS DAY

It is 8 a.m. and I'm sitting here thinking about all of the wonderful women that are mothers and are going about their daily chores of making breakfast and doing for their family. This is your day. You should be the queen today and be taken out to breakfast, lunch and dinner. You are a special person who's job never ends and if you are a working mom, you should be treated extra, extra special. We must remember that every mother is beautiful in their own way. Respect them and show your love for your mother or even someone else's mother. They deserve the best for their dedication, support and love.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL MOTHERS!

FLOWERS

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I got the planting bug. I thought that I would go to Home Depot, Lowes and Meijer and check out their plants and of course prices. My first stop was Home Depot and guess what, I found everything I needed and the prices were just fine. I bought two hanging baskets (one for the front and one for the back), geraniums, marigolds, impatiens and daisy's. My Lady Andie loved daisy's so in her memory I always plant them in a container. As a matter of fact all of my plants go into containers. When I finished and every pot was put in its place, I treated myself to a cold drink and sat back and enjoyed the colors of summer that are now on my patio. My only regret is that My Andie is not here to share it with me.

GAS PRICES

Wake up Dyer and Schererville gas stations. Gas prices at $3.29. Is it because you are near the Illinois border and you are greedy. Folks I tell you that if you travel east on route 30 about five or ten miles you will find gas prices $3.14. There is a gas station east of Valpo that has this liquid gold for $3.09. Why can't that be that way here?

DECISIONS

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Have you ever had a day like that? I cnn't deceide if I should go to garage sales or go to my camper. It is a beautiful day to go to the camper and it also a beautifl day to go to garage sales because I do need things that I can sell on E-Bay. This is really the first big weekend for garage sales. There must be at least 25 listed in the paper. There are just a few that start today (thursday) but most are on friday and saturday. I think I have made up my mind. I will go to the camper tomorrow. I will plan my garage sale route as to head east toward the camper picking up treasures as I go. Good idea. Thanks for your help.

LEISURE DAY

Today I said to myself, "self" we are going to have a leisure day. I awoke later than usual, read the newspaper slower than usual and watched my favorite morning game show "The Price Is Right". We must remember we must intake as much of Bob Barker as we can because, as you know, he is retiring in a couple of months. I don't know is anyone can replace him. Just like when they tried to redo "Lets Make A Deal". They had Billy Bush emcee the show. What a rotten job. I always got the impression that he thought he was doing everyone a favor by doing the show. I hope they make a better choice this time.

GATHERING INFORMATION

Yesterday, Monday, I made arrangements to meet my niece-in-law at my sister-in-laws to teach me some of the ins and outs of blogging and the making of money doing it. We spent a few hours doing this and I hope I have learned something. THANK YOU ROBYN.
