Our youngest is into a quite a wide variety of activities and hobbies. She collects everything from rare porcelain dolls, to gemstones and fossils. Sometimes we even like to go out and look at the stars at night through one of her telescopes. She is just so inquisitive about things, and I think its wonderful. Recently she was asking if she could get a Microscope so that she can get a better look at the structures of some of her crystals.

With Summer recess being upon us in a matter of days now, we’ve been contemplating on picking up a few more things to do, such as maybe doing a little birdwatching, oh and my kid says she’d like to check out a pair of night vision goggles too! I’d thought that that was maybe a bit out of my league, as in a stretch for my wallet, until I found this website called www.OpticsPlanet.com. They have a 100% guarantee on their products with the lowest prices I’ve found anywhere, and they offer free ground shipping to boot! Looks like my kid is going to have a really interesting summer vacation!

This family loves its watermelons and cantaloupes, and at times a honey dew is a nice change, we always try and have some around the house when we can find a good source. We just went to Wal-Mart the other day and picked one up and the wife just cut it open and it looks like it should have been cut into a few days ago.

We have found that it is best to get a watermelon at the local Food Lion where you can find someone there to cut it in half for you so that you can make sure of the condition of the melon before taking it home and finding out that you have just bought a bad melon that will for the most part go to waste because no one wants to eat an over ripe watermelon. So I guess we will stick with the good thing that we have found at Food Lion and stick with it.

The wife need to look no longer, I have found the Father’s Day gift that I would like this year. I am always going through boots like crazy, I always have been rough on footwear and I found a web-site of www.workbootsusa.com that has a great variety of boots that I like.

I am always in need of a good quality work boot and we have found that the more expensive ones do not necessarily last that much longer or hold up as well as the ones that we find at a lesser cost. First the sides blow out and then the heel starts acting up and the wife gets a bit tired of seeing my boots wrapped in tape in order to keep them from falling apart, so she should approve of this gift suggestion.

This company has several of the large name brand workboots to offer like Wolverine, Bates, Rocky, CAT, and of course Converse.  And it has free shipping on ground orders over $50, which is a plus, it gets old having to pay for the shipping and handling charges when ordering on-line, I try my best to avoid ordering if I have to bear that cost.

I have sent the link to this site to the wife’s email address so that she can see all the different styles and promotions that they have going on right now because Father’s Day is coming up soon!

It seems the worst storm in over 20 years hit last night, one person dead, trees fallen everywhere, schools and businesses closed due to not having any electricity and now we are in for a heat wave. I knew that last night’s storm was bad and I’m glad that we got off lightly compared to what we are hearing in the news today.
