Are you into collecting? What things in particular? There are a lot of things that can be considered awesome collectibles and a lot of individuals are already addicted to it. One example that I really find fascinating is collecting coins. It can be expensive, I guess, but I certainly know the feeling of having an addition to the collection because I was once collecting stuff too. It wasn’t coins though, but stuffed toys.

If there are some collecting, there are some who are selling things for collectibles too. Isn’t that great? If you’re collecting coins and you want to buy morgan dollars, better do it now because I have heard they are selling like hotcakes. What can I say? They are awesome!

This is not something you normally see in my home country that is why it really caught my attention when we went to a birthday party of a friend’s son. This was in their backyard. I had to ask her what it was and it is called a Chimenea. With the weather that they have here in the U.S., this is one thing that is commonly seen in their backyards or decks. An outdoor accessory that is a must-have, I should say to keep them warm during night time that they want to enjoy the outdoors.

Seeing it reminded me of my girl scout days. We had bonfires then, but we never use this kind. We just made use of dry woods grouped together and was lit, thus creating a bonfire.

Taking photos of just about anything is one of the many things that I love doing. I take photos of plants, insects, food, sweet treats, vehicles, electronics, gadgets, etc. Name it, I will take a photo of it. I even took a photo of a usb barcode scanner while we were at the mall last week. You want to know why? I find the gadget very nice not to mention, it is one of the many high-tech gadgets that make our world easier.

The husband even kids me at times about me taking pictures, even of rest rooms. LOL. I wonder what will catch my attention next time.

I can’t remember when was the last time that I checked for a weight loss pill that works until mom asked me how’s my search for info for her was going. We talked this morning and she inquired about it. It had totally slipped my mind after being busy with my son’s school, spring cleaning and, not to forget, our recent road trip.

I was the one who offered that I would do the searching for her and shame on me, I really forgot. I told her I will for sure continue the searching today and give her the results by the end of the day. I will certainly do that!

We went to attend a memorial service last week and it was held at the Botanical Gardens. It was our first time to see the place so, after the service, we’ve decided to tour around and I was fascinated with what I saw. The place is beautiful. Below are just some of the pictures I had taken.

This is one of the two streams that they had in the area. There were people having a picnic near it that day.

And this is the bridge on top of the stream. The view is really lovely!

Despite the failing economy, we are so thankful that the husband still has work and his company is doing well. He is lucky to have a job that is not exhausting and it pays a living wage. He works in the maintenance department of an industrial company and his main focus is electrical work, and though he does many of the things in the old-school way, some are done with the latest high-tech innovations.

They have been using power system analysis software and have been trained to utilize the specific strengths it offers in making the plant’s electrical system run at its highest efficiency and potential. Everything is made easy and accurate not to mention, safe and effective.

Organizing new documents can be a daunting task, most especially if there are already numerous files around you. I do know because we have a construction business that has been running for 15 years. We didn’t think of organizing until after a few years after we started so you can just imagine how dreadful the organizing was.

We managed to do it though but it was really exhausting. Had it been that we had document management during those times, it could have been very easy. Well, we will get it soon so we never have to face that dilemma again.
