I love going to the beach, sharing with family and enjoying this time of the year.  The crowds are low right now, its still warm and the sunsets are to die for. When ever I look for vacation rental homes, I usually look for good property management companies and I found a great one in the vacation rentals in Naples FL. The beaches and the area are just beautiful with great rates, a lot of pictures to look at and tons of rentals to choose from. They are fully equipped and some have pools a... Read Full Story

Blog Prompt – Today is Mickey Mouse’s Birthday. Do you have a favorite Disney character? How can you not love Mickey Mouse! That little mouse started such an empire that you just have to adore him. So, my favorite show as a VERY young child was the Mickey Mouse Club.  (Do I date myself?)  That show was so cool and of course, the cartoons were the best. I still have my Mickey Mouse Club card and I have it framed here in my office. I became a member in 1963 and I was a member o... Read Full Story

I love to cook and I love to have people over for the holidays.  And I am always trying to figure out a way to cook efficiently so that everything is on the table at its peek and not cold or soggy. I love using slow cookers to keep certain things warm until you need them and that keeps my oven free for things that have to be baked.  I am really wanting a new mini slow cooker for dips during parties.  They are great to keep cheese warm and I don’t have to drag out my large slow cooker.  ...

Blog Prompt – Today is Button Day. Do you prefer buttons or zippers or none at all?? Since I am older and a bit lazier, I prefer to have no extra work when it comes to getting ready in the morning. Those pull over shirts are my kind of thing. My fingers are getting to where they hurt sometimes when it comes to using many buttons in a shirt. Zippers are ok and don’t seem to be much of a bother as much as buttons are. Jeans and pants have good zippers that usually don’t br... Read Full Story

Since I live in Florida, we have many guests and not a lot of space for them when it comes to beds.  But, I think I have figured out a way to have guests, not clutter up an extra bedroom and have an extra bed all at the same time. I have found the newest Murphy style bed with great features and I can put it together myself in just a few short hours.  A Murphy bed wall bed is perfect for me and the small space I have. Its close to the wall, has extra seating, book shelves and storage.  Just sl... Read Full Story
