Our daughter said that the Jumperoo has been one of Baby J’s favorite “toys.” He has absolutely loved jumping in it ever since he was old enough to use it, and now that he has turned one year old, he still loves to jump in it. He even had a full-blown diaper blowout in it and kept right on jumping, having a great time. I won’t go into details there, and I know you’re glad! 🙂 I wish there had been Jumperoos when our children were babies!
If someone needed to find a certain type business, wouldn’t it be great to find a prescreened, certified small business, whether it be a contractor, florist, or real estate agent? Clicksmart provides just that kind of service for people by prescreening and certifying small businesses who are experts in their line of work. If someone wanted an atlanta realtor, all they would have to do on the Clicksmart site is to select the category “Real Estate Agents,” and then they would type in Atlanta, Georgia. They would be given a list from which they could choose a realtor in Atlanta. It’s that simple to find a certified expert.
What is your dream car? I remember when I was in high school, a friend’s older sister had a convertible. I thought that was a dream car! We thought it was the coolest thing to go driving down the boulevard with our friend’s sister in her convertible, usually on a Sunday night. It was summer time, and it felt great to have the top down.
Some people’s dream car is a corvette. That is certainly an attention-getter car. To make it unique and set apart from other corvettes, there are even Corvette body upgrades such as Corvette hoods or spoilers. Are you surprised that I know what a spoiler is? Actually, I didn’t. I had to ask my husband and he showed me a picture of one on a website. He explained how the spoiler actually helps the car because it’s aerodynamic. It makes the car look cool, too. And with a new Corvette exhaust system, there would be a significant gain in horsepower and that would help the car as well. Now that would be a dream car to many people!

Our first and only grandbaby, “Baby J,” celebrated his first birthday this past week. We went for the weekend for the birthday party on Saturday. Our daughter, “C,” had everything decorated so cute. There were balloons and streamers decorating the mailbox, front door, entryway, living room, and the dining area.
First, we had a cookout with hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the fixings. Then Baby J opened his many presents (actually our daughter opened the presents – Baby J wasn’t into opening presents…at least this year anyway). Then it was time for the cake. “C” has taken a cake decorating course, and so she made the cutest small birthday cake for “Baby J” and then a larger cake for everyone else. Our grandson did not like the icing, though!! Once the thick globs of icing were on his fingers, he looked at it like he didn’t understand why he couldn’t shake it off. His daddy proceded to feed him the cake part which he loved.
It was an exciting and fun-filled day for Baby J, grandparents, an aunt, an uncle, and friends of the family. Baby J was so keyed up from all the excitement that he couldn’t unwind for his nap. Needless to say, by the time bedtime rolled around, he was extremely tired…so tired that he got the giggles and laughed non-stop for a minute or two. Well, we all got tickled at him and started laughing too. It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day!
It is such a blessing to have Baby J in our lives!
Have you heard the latest news this week about the huge case the Department of Justice is prosecuting? There were 40 MILLION credit and debit card numbers stolen by a crime ring that spanned from the United States to Eastern Europe to East Asia. Secret Service Director Sullivan said that this case was the largest and most sophisticated one ever brought against hacking and identity theft criminals prosecuted by the DOJ, and 11 people were charged in this case. The criminal ring hacked into wireless networks, security systems for major retailers such as Marshalls and T. J. Maxx, and laptops.
Even though these people have been caught, there’s no way to know how many others are out there. We have personally been the victims of identity theft three different times. Each time there was a charge on our credit card that was not ours. We’re careful with our credit cards, and I always shred anything that has our credit card information on it. But being careful isn’t enough. Even though the DOJ is prosecuting these criminals, there are still more people out there who want to steal our identity. We must be proactive!

Healthy eating and enjoyable exercise are two things that are not only good for one’s health, but they also aid in weight loss. Too many times people go on a fad diet and lose weight, only to gain it back later. Healthy habits must be established and used for a lifetime. Some people prefer to take the top diet pill to help with weight loss. Anytime a diet pill is used, however, a person should consult their physician first.
Boating Operating Under the Influence is just as serious as driving a motor vehicle under the influence. It’s just as dangerous! There are injuries and fatalities that occur while boating “OUI,” boating under the influence. If you or anyone you know operates a boat while OUI, let me urge you to watch the above video and visit the website below. It might save someone’s life!
I’m having trouble with my foot again, so I’m not back to walking much yet. I stepped on the scales a couple of days ago, and I’ve gained back every bit of the weight I lost…four pounds! Since then, I’m trying to be a lot more careful about what I eat, am considering an exercise bike which wouldn’t be putting pressure on the nerve in my foot, and am adding a little more protein to my diet. I’m determined to lose weight naturally.
Some choose weight loss pills, but they should always check with their doctor before starting anything new.
Well, I did lose a total of four pounds, but I haven’t been able to go for my walks the past three weeks and have gained some of it back. I’ve been having a lot of foot and ankle pain on a daily basis for quiet a while, went to my regular doctor, and finally went to a podiatrist and found out I have an enlarged nerve in my foot. It’s called Morton’s Neuroma. (I had to research that because I’d never heard of it.) The podiatrist gave me a shot of Cortizone which has really helped to settle the nerve down. That’s definitely a blessing! Hopefully, I can get back to taking at least a couple of walks a week because walking helps me so much! I still want to lose five more pounds and hope to do that with walking and healthy eating. Some people take Phentermine, but I prefer a more natural way.
By the way, anyone taking something to help them lose weight should always consult their doctor first.

We have lived in our house for 14 years now. Wow, how fast time goes by! I remember what all we had to do to buy our house. We had to check out mortgage lenders to find the best one, and our realtor was very helpful. I remember we had a mountain of paper work to sign at the closing, but it went surprisingly fast. And what I remember most was when we first walked into our house after the closing, our realtor had left a beautifully wrapped little present to welcome us into our home. That was sweet!
