Special anniversary gift

by Mary Anne

Our tenth anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I’m starting to get really excited because I have a hunch that my hubby is going to give me one of his late aunt’s anniversary rings diamond that he inherited when she passed. That woman always had to most beautiful jewelry! That was one of the things that we had in common, a love for the sparkly jewelry!


Buying specialty shoes

by Mary Anne

My sister called me to tell me that she needed to buy some new cheer-leading shoes for my cheer-leading niece, but she was having a hard time finding what she needed.

I told her I’d help her look online for them. Seems to me I’ve seen them before online when I wasn’t even looking for them!   I’m pretty good at finding things on the Internet. Maybe I just use better keywords, maybe she just is too busy to try it herself and knows she can count on me for help when she needs it! Regardless, I’m always glad to help!


Drop boxes

by Mary Anne

Recently I’ve noticed that quite a lot of people use mailboxes for other uses other than as a receptacle to hold incoming and outgoing mail. Mail boxes are being used by some places as drop boxes. The first time I saw a mailbox being used in that manner was by my mother-in-law. She had set up an arrangement with some clients of her book-keeping business to use padlocks on
residential mailboxes and use them as ways to deliver and safely store clients records.

The first time I noticed that type of arrangement was when I saw my mother-in-law was using a mailbox with a padlock on it as a drop box. She had a padlock on the box, and she explained that the office’s courier had a copy of the key so he could pick up and deliver correspondence independently of the US Postal service.


Family gatherings are matches of wits around here!

by Mary Anne

We have a large family, and we like to get together for big family reunions and meals.  My mother recently married (after being widowed) a man who lives for teasing people and making sarcastic remarks.

Well, my entire family is quick witted, and we have a great time sharpening our teeth and using sarcasm right back on this man!  He tries so hard to get the “upper hand” but he doesn’t have a chance against us!  It’s very funny to see how hard he tries, and yet always ends up licking his wounds.  It’s very ironic because he is always the one who starts the “match of wits!”


Making the best decision

by Mary Anne

The article written by Alonso Kramer

I was trying to use thewww.texaselectricityproviders.com/ website to figure out what the best options were for my energy utilities. I really need something I can rely on. At my one of my old houses, we had some problems with the provider. My husband and I always felt like we were being overcharged and it seemed like the electricity would cut out randomly for what seemed like no reason. We both decided we really wanted to do our research for the next house and avoid the same problem. We are set to move into our new house next month. We are both really excited. It is a lot bigger and a lot nicer than our first house together. However, since it is so big, I am a bit concerned about the price of our utilities and if we can handle it. My husband told me that he really thinks we will be fine. I just get a bit concerned because electricity is essential. I do not want to be strained for money so making the decision for the most cost-efficient and reliable source would be ideal for me right now.
