Random Thoughts by Pam

Sorry it’s been forever since I posted here! Things have been crazy! But last night I was able to go to TNK for the first time since Richard left. It was great!

I started making Jonathan a pair of mittens and got the cuffs done in about an hour and a half so I thought that was good. I hope to get them finished before next week. The only thing I’m worried about is the thumb! Never made knitted mittens before!

There was good conversation and good laughs too last night! I’ve missed all my friends and it’s good to be missed! Hope to see you guys in two weeks!

So I’m watching YouTube today and you can tell I found some different kinds of knitting videos out there!

I know that in this day and age, more and more people are having their homes broken into and it’s not fun at all. Have you ever thought about protecting your home for a home alarm system? I know that I have thought about it especially when a few summers ago when there were kids breaking into the homes around here. It would have been nice to know that I had or other people had safety systems installed so we wouldn’t have to worry about our items being taken or our lives being vandalized by having our homes protected while we are home and while we are away. Don’t you want to have your home protected? Check out Home Security Choice today for new security systems to put in your home.

So I’m not a girl that’s into hardware and machines and all that, but I’ve known plenty of guys who have been and who are! If any of them are looking for machine tool attachments, then they really need to check out Thomas Global online. Their website is full of gizmos and gadgets all for people who work with machines. They have links to online stores all over the world so whether you live in the United States, Belgium, Turkey or China, you’d be able to find anything you need from anywhere. Check out Denso Sales from Belgium. You can pick up the phone to call them or visit their website for more information on their products. I think it’s an awesome place to locate all the items that you need for any project you are working on.

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything…They had talked about everything.  They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had
cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.  In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside.  She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.

He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be married,” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.

“Honey,” he said, “that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?” 

“Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”

So my friend Amanda has been working hard to make things to sell and I’m here to support her! SHe makes pillowcase dresses and aprons and she also makes these beach bags! She sells them for $15 each and they are huge! They are made from a large beach towel sew up the sides with a strap attached. I had to snap a photo and spread the word as they are awesome! If you’re interested in purchasing one, please leave a comment and I’ll pass the information along!

I have one and I’m always looking for cellphone accessories to go with it. They just make your phone fun! I know that I have fun looking for them, but I can’t always afford them. But I’m excited that I found a place online that has cool accessories and they aren’t too expensive! This pink case (well, pink isn’t me, but I have friends who love pink!) is only $10. $10!! Cool! It’s a must buy for sure.

Are you looking for something for your cell phone? Whether you have a Nokia, Blackberry, iPhone or whatever, they have something just for you! Check them out!
