Uncle Jake

Our grand daughter Kaelyn loves her uncle Jake. Here she is saying "meow" for Jake's kitty Mylie and she is also saying "Jake". She is a sweetie!

Diet Pills

With the holiday season just ending, many find themselves thinking about loosing those unwanted pounds. There are many methods in which to research. I have found there to be low fat or low carbohydrate diets. There are also diet pillsthat assist in reducing fat and appetite. Some feel that weight loss is based on exercise. So I guess you need to decide for yourself what works best for you personally.

Wall.E


Josh, Di and Emry went out and bought a dog when they returned home from Christmas. They have been patiently waiting to move to a location where they would be allowed pets. They recently received the OK. :) They were so excited! Wall.E is a cocker spaniel. It sounds like he is mild tempered and very patient. He's seven years old and came from a Cocker Spaniel Rescue. Emry seems to love him also. He's learning "nice touches" and they are getting along great! We're anxious to meet Wall.E!

Groceries

Today we got groceries so we are stocked up again. We generally get our big load once every two weeks and then go back to the store on the off week for a few things. It is nice to have a supply again. The store was quite busy today even though the weather was not so nice. I guess others had the same idea as we did. It seems that when the weather is poor, people panic and think that they may starve. It's really strange.

New York Restaurants

In our traveling we are planning a trip to New York City soon. I have heard about the Village Voice alternative newsweekly. They are known to tell it like it is in reporting. I like that. Winning the Pulitzer Prize three times is quite impressive also. Their website VillageVoice.com has been recognized for its quality journalism and content. Being a past winner of both the National Press Foundation's Online Journalism Award and the Editor and Publisher Eppy Award for Best Overall US Weekly Newspaper Online, gives this website great credibility. The Restaurant Review site shares information on New York Restaurants of all kinds. You can quickly search by restaurant name, cuisine, location or cost. What ever you are looking for is at your finger tips. Check it out for yourself.

Blizzard

Today we were supposed to have mild temperatures and some wind. They forgot to tell us that there may a few flurries in the air too. Actually more than flurries. And wow is it windy!!?! Several cars are stuck on the highways due to drifting. At times it is like a blizzard. If you don't have to go out, I would suggest that everyone stay at home.
