My sister-in-law has been giving me some attitude lately concerning my address sign which is older than dirt at this point. She saw a show on TV which was referring to our emergency personnel having difficulty finding the right place to respond to when called for assistance. I’m sure that at night it would be even more of a challenge.

So she is urging me to get off of my butt and go online and start looking at the variety of address plaques and numbers. She sent me the link to justaddressplaques.com the other day and I’ve spent a bit of time looking around the place and seeing what is out there that might tickle my fancy. I never realized how many varieties there are these days, but I shouldn’t be surprised I imagine. Variety is the spice of life. LOL

It makes sense to get a decent address plaque. My biggest concern is that the pizza delivery person find my place in a timely fashion because I like my pizza still nice and hot!

Just got an email from my youngest brother informing me that I will need to go by his place a few times over the weekend to feed, water and let his dogs out, get the mail, that kind of stuff, because he and his wife are off to Myrtle Beach South Carolina. He just got a bug up his butt, went online to www.48hourteetimes.com, which he had read some where online about how they offer 48 hour tee times in the Myrtle Beach area and he booked a long 4 day weekend.

He and his wife used to play a lot of golf before he was involved in that awful car accident and totally messed up his back. It has been a slow road for him to get to where he is today four years later. He still needs some surgery done in the near future, but he is doing his therapy, following doctor’s orders, exercising and has lost a good amount of weight, which is good for his diabetes along with his bad back. Anyway he is starting to play golf again this past year and apparently found a sweat deal on some tee times on the Internet and he is off and running.

Hope the weather is good for their trip. Bad weather can ruin the best planned vacations, but it wouldn’t be the first time they played a game of golf in the rain. As long as it doesn’t involve lightening and the wind doesn’t kick up a nice shower can be a pleasant experience on the golf course.

We just might have a decent weather weekend coming up. It has been a couple of months since we have been able to do anything outside and enjoy it due to the extreme weather that we have been blessed with this summer. So if it really is nice out I’m thinking that hitting a few of the better outside flea markets that are on the outskirts of town. It is good exercise, I always run into people that I know and I know several of the regular vendors that set up at these places so it is a good social experience, besides possibly finding a treasure that I can’t live without and fit in the car!

Back in the 80’s the Roller Derby was a hot ticket but it faded out shortly after Disco left the scene. I used to enjoy watching the sport from time to time and am pleased to see that it is making a come back. I was looking for a particular video on YouTube.com that I never did find, but I did find this video and found it interesting enough to post it here.

While watching the local news this afternoon, there were two stories about people that had the gall to leave their pet dogs in their cars. Both dogs died from the extreme heat that we have been experiencing. I can’t imagine anyone being so dumb as to do something like this. They need to be left in a hot car and left to die to pay for their stupidity.
