NFL Sunday Ticket

The article written by Landon Gilbert

     I don’t even remember what my husband used to do before he had NFL Sunday Ticket on Sunday ticket direct tv. I know that he has always been like a psycho watching football on television. But now with Sunday ticket, he can keep up with all the games at the same time. He even joined two fantasy football leagues this year. I can’t believe that he wastes so much time on football games. But over the years, I have learned that nothing is going to change the way he is. I just have to entertain myself when all the games are on. When our kids were small, I would resent his watching television all the time. Now our kids are all grown up, so I can go do something else when he is glued to the games. Most of the time I just go in another room and watch something that I want to watch. Other times I call my girlfriends who are also football widows, and we will go shopping or watch a movie at their house. Let me just say that I have never been much of a fan for football, and I don’t think that is going to change.

Four Corners

      I can't exactly remember when this photo was taken. I was so happy when we arrived at the Four Corners. It was under construction but it really did not stop us as well as many people from visiting this historic place. Four Corners is the region of the United States that consist of four States namely: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. 

      I am really very fortunate that my husband and I have mostly the same interest and one of them is traveling to National Parks, small towns and places where natural beauty of nature exist. I am just hoping that someday we can come back and visit this place.  I already file a vacation leave for a week and we're planning before to visit Canada but we changed our minds and we will just go driving North instead of flying.

Retirement Travels

This guest post from Lenny Mcknight

        I’ve always heard the saying “don’t blink” because you might miss a large part of your life, but i never really believed it until now. It seems like only yesterday that my days were filled with school, football and girls. Now forty years later, here I am with a wife, three kids, and seven grandkids. If that’s not enough, after serving my time in the army and working day in and day out for the past thirty years, I can finally say that I’m retired. To say that I never thought this day would come is definitely an understatement. The grind of a Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 career absolutely had its ups and downs but now that I’m standing on the outside looking in, I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. For the past forty years, my wife and I have talked and dreamt about this time in our lives and what we would want to do and now that it’s finally here, all i can think of is family. Unfortunately, none of our three children live near us anymore and none of them even live in the same state. So i guess the traveling that the Mrs. And I used to dream about will be from state to state seeing all of the things that our kids and grandkids and getting to experience. Thankfully we have peace of mind knowing that our house is secure thanks to our new HOME SECurity FAMIly. Since I don’t have to worry about the house, i guess i should get packing and take in a nap before it’s time to hit the open road.

Breathtaking Scenery #1 (A house and a waterfall)

      I can't remember where I took this photo. All I know was that we're on our way to a lake in order for my husband to take photos to be added to his portfolio.  I was mesmerized by the scenery, a beautiful house and a waterfall just nearby and by the way, a river in front of the this house.  I think this was taken during fall season. 

Weather

Contribution by Saul Martin

      Isn’t it funny how you can know the weather way ahead of time now? When I was growing up, we would just wake up each morning and see what kind of weather the day would bring. Then we would plan what to wear based on what we saw and felt out the door. If it was raining, we would just throw on a raincoat or grab an umbrella and be on our way. Or if we were lucky enough, we would look out the window and would see the bright white that a surprise snowfall would bestow upon us. I remember those days well from when I was a child we would jump in celebration because where we lived we seldom got a good snowfall. Snow would always guarantee a vacation day from school. Nothing would bring us more joy than when we got to stay home on a snow day. Today things are all totally different. Today is Monday, and my husband just asked me what would the weather be on Friday. Well now that we have wildbluedeals.com, all I have to do is go to the weather channel online. It can tell me what our weather will be for the next ten days. Who would have believed that so many years ago when I was a child?

Tips to Enhance Your Knowledge about Cosmetics

      I love going on a trip with my husband. Although I already know where will be our destinations which mostly in places where few tourists go but still I will make sure that I look beautiful in my own special way. I always bring my small make up bag which has my favorite face wash, moisturizer, liquid foundation, lip balm and compact face powder. Once in a while I will bring a lipstick and eye shadows which most of the time I will end up not using it either.

       At first I don't have the incentive to do a research on Cosmetics Tips because I grew up with lipgloss and baby powder only and I don't want to waste my money buying Make Up and at the end I am not using it because of lack of knowledge. When I started working in health and beauty department in one of the biggest corporation here in the US, I started watching Make Up Tutorials online and my husband also bought me a book on how to apply make-up in order to further and enhance my knowledge. I still consider myself a novice but I will continue to enhance what I learn because I need it not only for myself but most importantly for my job.

        One of the websites that I recently discover is the Cosmohut. This website is created to meet the needs of make up fanatics and even to those who are just a beginner. They offer a searchable database of make up tutorials, product reviews and an online women community which are really helpful. If you are like me who want to further your knowledge about how to apply make up and see what other make up fanatics are up too, this is a perfect website for you.  

     

Postcard from Sweden
