Just got an email from a girl I worked with years ago, we still keep in touch once in awhile on the computer, she was a really nice person to work with and I’m glad that we have remained friendly and in touch.Seems her husband received a job offer that sounds too wonderful an opportunity for them to let slid by. I’m excited for her because the job would entail them to moving to New York and she is originally from that area so it won’t be as stressful as moving to a unknown area like when they moved here in the 90′s.

She tells me that she the new company suggested a few New York real estate agents to assist in their relocation, and she seems pleased with the suggestions that they have come up with so far. It is over a 6 hour long drive to that area, and they will be traveling back and forth for awhile until they find the perfect spot. I’m glad they don’t have kids to deal with yet, it will make it easier, she tells me that once they settle in she intends on trying to start a family. What a great place to grow up in, New York, there is so much to see and do, always something going on 24/7, I am envious of them.

I hope she keeps her promise of keeping in touch, the distance factor shouldn’t matter due to each of us having computers and all. Every day I am thankful for the computer and the Internet, it really has made life easier in so many ways, and keeping in touch with old friends and family members, is the greatest benefit of all – as far as I’m concerned!

I love going to the flea markets that will be in full swing next month if by then the weather has finally made it possible for people to set up outside. I always enjoy getting outside, getting some fresh air, and the exercise is certainly welcomed as well. I find the vendors are very nice and are usually willing to give good bargains if you approach them with a kind word and don’t insult their intelligence and integrity. I can never figure out how some people will come up to them and ask if they will take such a small amount and expect them to just smile and take it. If someone is asking $20 for an item, to ask if they will take $5 for it is an insult. I see it time and time again and it just blows me away when they get upset when denied their request!

Anyway, I have had my eyes on one dealer that sells rugs, mainly area rugs. He has been setting up there for years and I have spent a good amount of time looking at his assortment of rugs and talking with him, he is a very nice man and I always look forward to seeing and talking with him when I have a Saturday to spend at the flea market.  Last Saturday, since it was so nice outside, I went to the flea market and noticed that he wasn’t there. I was told that he had experienced bad health lately and was in the hospital. I couldn’t get a lot of details but it apparently has something to do with his heart. I asked the vendor that sets up next to him to relay a message to him that I had stopped by and inquired about him. And asked that he be told that I wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery.

Romancing The Road

This is a wonderful video that my best friend sent me today. She always comes up with some pretty cool jokes and videos. I never seem to have enough time to find these types of things, so I’m glad that she keeps them coming and coming and coming….

Ms. Rachel, the owner of this vehicle tells us that this car has lasted longer than her 3 husbands and has no intentions of getting rid of her beloved 1964 Mercury Comet. I really hope you take just a few moments to hear what Ms. Rachel has to say about her love of her life.

I have always enjoyed a nice looking vehicle. One day I’d love to own my own brand new vehicle, driven by yours truly right off the show room floor, paid for in cash money. Well a girl can dream can’t she? I’ve owned a few nice cars in my time, but never a brand new one and never with cash money. And realistically a new car depreciates at least one thousand dollars as soon as you drive it off the lot which is a consideration before buying a brand new car.

There are so many types of wonderful cars out on the market these days. I’m afraid that I’d be hard put to have to make a decision if and when the time comes that I was able to do such a thing. So many things to consider and so many options, my goodness, I really wouldn’t even know where to start. All though I would certainly start on the Internet.

A nice Mustang would be great, all though I like the old and new models of the Ford Mustang. One with one of the nice custom billet grilles and a custom paint job would be a great beginning to make it my “dream Mustang”. Nothing but the best and custom all the way. Still dreaming…………

A little bit of news about the 4 men lost at sea. The boat was found and one man was clinging to the hull. The other three men, including 2 NFL players, are still missing. Grave concerns about hypothermia and drowning for the three not found yet. I don’t think you can stay in the water for two days and nights with just a life vest – if they were even wearing vests – with 15 foot waves and water temperatures in the 60′s.

The one man that was found claims that they had anchored the small boat when the water got significantly rougher and a big wave capsized their boat. He was able to hold onto the hull of the upside down boat and eventually crawl up on the hull to wait for rescue. The other three were evidently swept away in the rough seas and not able to find their way back to the boat. A very sad and upsetting story overall, but at least one man was found and rescued. I’m sure his family is extremely grateful to the Coast Guard and searcher teams who found him.

The Coast Guard really doesn’t get much attention in the media until something like this happens. They are pretty much treated as the red headed step children, which has never made any sense to me.
