Traser Watches

For many years my husband was on the tactical team at work. It was a stressful time. Each time he was called out was a concern. He seemed to enjoy it though. He had a lot of tactical gear such as traser watches, special guns, masks etc... It was a dangerous job, but he was trained for it.

Trophies

It's that time of year. Kids are graduating. We've enjoyed going around to the graduation celebrations. The displays that families set tout are amazing. We saw many trophies, pictures, awards and personal items. Each party individualized. It's fun to see.

Wood Pergolas

It's that time of year! The trees are blooming and the grass needs cutting. We've got to get to working on our yard now. I have been looking at wood pergolas. They are beautiful and boy do they add to a yard! I love the way that people add hanging pots on them. There is so much a person can do.
