Cemetaries and Memorial Day

Monday is Memorial Day when we remember the Veterans and our loved ones who have gone on before us. My husband has 2 brothers that were in World War II and my husband was overseas in Germany in the Army during the Korean Conflict. We are going to go and visit one of his brothers graves along with his wife and also his son who died at age 30 of muscular dystrophy. I have some flowers ready to go. We haven't been there for a couple of years. Out of 4 brothers, he only has one left now.

Investing in Gold

When I first heard about investing in gold I was confused. I did not know a thing about such investments but I am learning fast. I quickly learned that people have bought gold for centuries to preserve their wealth. I checked into how to buy gold coins. I learned you can purchase them from the U.S. Gold Bureau and have them delivered right to my home. I was not so sure that was safe but I found I could also have it put into a safe depository and I wouldn't have to worry about it. It would be safe. One thing about gold, it doesn't fluctuate in value like the stock market. Watching your stocks on Wall Street can give you a heart attack. I feel it is better to buy gold.

Crockpot Roast

I put a roast in the crockpot this morning. First I seasoned it and browned it on all sides and then put it in seasoned water in the crockpot and set it on low. We went for a ride and then came home and took a nap. The whole house smelled soooo good. The meat was so tender and the gravy over the potatoes was delicious. It was an easy meal that made itself while we were gone. I just love it.

Lazy Boy Chairs

I love a good Lazy Boy Chair. We got rid of our big old couch and have all Lazy Boy chairs and they are so comfortable. I worked awhile back for over a year and took some of the money and bought myself a new blue Lazy Boy. I am short so I sat in them in the store until I found one that was just right for me. The back is just like a soft pillow and when I had surgery I had to sleep in the chair for 2 nights. It was as comfortable as my bed. I love it.

Florida Beauty School

Here is a cosmetology company that has been in business for over 50 years. They are continually growing. If you want to get away to a wonderful State, you may want to consider Florida Beauty School to get your training. Cosmetology is a wonderful career if you enjoy working with hair and people and delighting in making them more beautiful. They provide exceptional training in all facets of cosmetology and if this is the career you want, it is my opinion that you would do well to attend their school. I know I would love to train in Florida, the Sunshine State. Then you could find yourself a good job in a Regency salon there and enjoy life.

Windows

It is amazing how dirty your windows can get. We have the kind you can pull in and wash and pop back into the frame. We did that this morning with the one on the shady side of the house while it was still cool. It is really hot now so glad we got it done early. It is so clean you almost can't see the glass. I enjoy looking out clean windows, don't you?

Haircuts

My husband and I both went and got haircuts at the same time at the same salon the other day. I wear my hair quite short and very curly. It is easy to care for. You just wash it in the shower, it air dries quickly and brush it and go. I love it. My husband has lost a lot of his hair but he still has enough for her to trim and keep it looking nice. Haircuts can make you look good or bad so you need a good salon operator.
