Three of the saddest words I've had to say lately was playbook for sale. I'm not kidding. I won a blackberry playbook from my local cellphone service provider. I was so excited, you can't even imagine! I had wanted a tablet since I first saw them but I just don't have the extra money to spend on something like that.
Anyway, I got it and signed up for the app world thing and downloaded a ton of apps. It was so much fun. About a week later, I noticed that I hadn't seen my neighbors car for a while so I walked over and rang the bell. The woman answered and she looked like crap. I could hear her kids running around inside.
She told me that her husband had just up and left after cleaning out the checking account and taking the car. God, I felt bad for her. I asked her if she needed anything and she said, "a meal for my kids". That did it. I came home and cooked enough food for an army so she would have something in her frig and I put my playbook on ebay. It sold immediately and I gave her the money. I'm glad I was able to help her and that is certainly more important than owning a tablet, but I have to tell you I still feel the pain of those three words and I think it was worse because I actually got to play with it for a week. Oh well.
My ex boss surprised me the other night when he showed up in my driveway with a giant RV. I worked for him for five years and the entire time he said he was going to buy one for retirement even if he had to sell his house to do it! Well, he said it wasn't easy but with a big downpayment he found rv financing that he could afford and he bought one. I think he bought the biggest one they sell...lol. It is huge but I do have to say it is really beautiful inside. I hope he enjoys it as much as he thinks he will!
I am in such bad shape and it is so hard to make myself move. I have Lupus and sometimes it is actually impossible but I need to get into shape. My friend Rich suggested that I check around to see if I can find one I can afford. I said, personal training richmond, why don't you be my trainer? He laughed and said "I don't want you to hate me." I guess he has a good point though I don't think that would happen.
Boy, I don't know about other places, but I have to tell you, where I am, there is an amazing amount of Housing for seniors. I'm really happy about that since it won't be that long when I will be a real senior. It seems that every day on the news they are talking about a new place. Many of them are really cool, with all kinds of amenities like swimming pools, shopping and one even has a bowling alley. Pretty cool I think.
I have to say that I love both of my sons to death and I feel like I did a good job (well I should say "we", my husband and I) did a good job raising them. They are both hard workers and they are kind and good people. However, somehow we screwed up when it comes to money. Both of them are big spenders. Every time they decide to do anything they buy all the stuff that goes with it and trust me the buy the best stuff. Then they may never do whatever it was again. What a waste. My one son just bought a ton of snowboard gear for one trip. My guess is that he will never go again after this trip.
Years ago when I was a young teen, I took guitar lessons. I remember it was a bit frustrating because I just wanted to play songs, not pick at notes. Anyway, I did get to where I could play some folk songs and that made me happy.
Now, though I am really trying to learn the piano. I have one and it is beautiful but guess what? It is just as frustrating trying to learn to play it. Plus I don't think I am very coordinated. I find it hard to have two hands doing two different things. Oh well

Ice sculptures, a beautiful and unusual form of art, is sculpture made using ice as a raw material. Although it is made of a very temporary and volatile material, ice sculpting is popular the world over for its extraordinary and breathtaking beauty. Even in places where the weather never gets cold enough to produce natural ice, there are festivals and competitions dedicated to showing off this unique art form.

I knew we couldn't go very long without a new project. This past year we replaced all of the windows in our house and we had a sunroom built. I thought we were done and was happy to be done.
But of course, as always, something else came up. For some reason our sidewalks are really deteriorating. My husband called to see what it was going to cost to get it taken out, it was crazy. Now he is going to do it. He has to go rent a jackhammer and some concrete blades. Here we go.
Oh I love gadgets so much! I used to really keep up on all the latest. If there was a new gadget I usually got it within a year much to my husband's dismay.
However, now that I am older and retired, I can't seem to come up iwth enough excuses to justify keep up with all the latest electronic things. I really want a tablet like the blackberry playbook, but I already have a computer and a laptop so my husband is really resistant. I have also been looking at blackberry phones but again, my husband's question is "why?" I guess he's right, but it's killing me.
