Rain at Last

We are starting to get a little rain today. The ground is so dry it is cracked. The flowers need watering really bad. Have been putting water on some of them but hate to drag out the hose. We are supposed to get some pretty heavy rain in the next few hours so will wait and see. Put a few new Iris bulbs in and they need all the water they can get. Starting to show signs of growing already.

Gaither Gospel Music

We are fans of the Gaither gospel music group. They are on for an hour every afternoon and my husband never misses it. I can hear the music from there while I am at the computer and I really enjoy it. The Gaither Quartet are really good. We have a lot of their CD's. We have been to a number of their concerts and always have a good time.

Buy Gold

How far are you from retirement? Do you have a long ways to go or are you nearly there? No matter what your answer is, it is a good time to buy gold as a safe investment for the future. In order to preserve your wealth, you need to invest in a commodity that is safe and gold has been known for centuries to be a safe way to preserve your wealth. The Romans and Egyptians knew way back many years ago that gold was precious. It keeps its value and most often gains in value. That is the kind of investment everyone wishes to have. the U. S. Gold Bureau has a professional staff that is waiting to help you make your purchases of gold. They will also guide you in choosing a safe depository in which to safely keep your gold. And if you wish, they will arrange to have it shipped right to you.

Egg Recall

Iowa has had a major recall of millions of eggs due to E-Coli bacteria. We are fortunate that our grocery store has eggs that were not included in the recall. It is a shame that so many had to go to waste but I heard that many were returned to the plant and cooked and sterilized and then put into products that were safe to eat. I am glad to hear that as it was such a waste when so many people are starving. The eggs are safe as long as they are hard boiled or hard fried. It will be a while before people can eat their eggs sunnyside up.

Knee Surgery

My brother is going to have his left knee replace this month. I want to be at the hospital when he has it done. He isn't in the best of health and it is rather risky. They will be doing a spinal but if anything goes wrong with his breathing, they will have to put him under general anesthesia and he has emphysema and it could mean he would have to be on oxygen the rest of his life. I hope that doesn't happen.

Gold Bar

What are you doing to preserve your wealth for the future? Have you been checking into various investments such as I have done? I have checked out the Internet to see what they advise as good safe investments and I am not so sure about many of them. However, I ran across investing in gold bar as a safe investment. I really believe that is true because people have known for hundreds of years that gold was a truly safe investment that not only keeps its value but generally grows in value. Men are intrigued with gold as it is so beautiful and much jewelry is made of gold. You feel special when you own something made of gold. I decided to purchase gold bars and put them in a safe depository at my local bank. I would be able to go look at it there and it would be safe and I would know my wealth is protected for the future.

Alzheimers

Alzheimers is a terrible disease that just takes the persons life away as they know it. Our brother-in-law who is only 77 has been diagnosed with it and he his memory has been bad for a couple of years already. Our sister-in-law who is only 71, has also bee diagnosed with it and I know her memory has been bad for a couple years also. They have medicines they give them to supposedly help and prolong the effects of the disease but it is really only a temporary fix since there is no cure. It is so sad to see loved ones deteriorating before your eyes. It really bothers my husband as he is 6 years older than his brother. There is a good chance he will outlive his younger brother and he just lost his older brother who was very close to him.
