I don’t have the time or much opportunity these days to read much more than the newspaper or a magazine or a Reader’s Digest perhaps, which I have several copies conveniently located in the bathrooms in the house. But that doesn’t mean that once in a while I’ll find a book that really interests me and I will take the time to do what I can in reading it all the way to the end. My daughter actually had me in mind when she and her friends went to the local flea market yesterday when she was looking through a box of books that were being given away for free. She is an avid reader and loves looking for new and exciting books to bring home and when she sees books that are being given away she usually walks away with an arm load.
This box contained a book written by Jimmy Buffett, by the name of “A Salty Piece of Land” a novel. She knows that her mom and I are both avid Jimmy Buffett fans from way back and she went ahead and picked it up for me along with a bunch of other ones for her from this box of free reading materials. That was a pleasant surprise, she is always surprising us with things, and they are not usually on the pleasant side I’m sorry to say.

Big news at work yesterday, one of the ladies in my department at work has just announced that she is expecting her first baby, and is due sometime towards the end of August. This is exciting news, she and her husband have been trying for so very long to get pregnant, and they have finally become successful and we all couldn’t be happier for them.
We are now in the process of planning a baby shower for them, with lots to do and figure out. Since this is their first child, they are in need of everything for the new baby, no hand me downs in sight, so we are all pitching in to see what we can help them with. We have Internet access at work, which will make everything so much easier. We have all ready looked in a few sites for baby related products and buying guides as well.
With as many of us, with all of our combined knowledge of using the Internet, it has been fun looking and comparing our findings for the new baby and all of things that we are finding and exploring. Seeing as the baby isn’t due until August, she while be in the last stages of her pregnancy during the hot summer months, so not only does she need things for the new baby, but some decent maternity clothes as well. And the search continues……

There is a little shopping center near my house that has a grocery store and 5 or 6 small stores, like a dry cleaner, a nail salon, etc. I drive by it almost every day. There has been a new little outbuilding under construction since right before Christmas and we’ve been wondering what is going to go in that store. Well today I found out – it is a new Starbucks! That’s great news for me – I love Starbucks their Mochas are top notch!

I don’t have the pleasure of owning a brand new car. I’ve only owned one such vehicle and that was many moons ago, but I still remember that new car smell, it was awesome. In today’s world I am behind the wheel on an older model Honda Accord. I’m not complaining though, it drives well and parts are plenty available when needed.
Not all makes and models of today’s vehicles are not as easily found, so it’s good to know that you can go online and Car Parts a plenty at 24/7 parts. They have made the search easy enough to locate with just a few key strokes and have great discount prices to offer.
This company has been around for over a decade and has a huge selection of car spares, you can save up to 80% by using their services. A good site to have bookmarked for future use.

I have to share the joke that one of my riding pals just sent in his latest email:
HER DIARY:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought h e was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.
Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn’t say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, ‘Nothing.’ I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn’t upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.
On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can’t explain his behavior. I don’t know why he didn’t say, ‘I love you, too.’ When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.
Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep -I cried. I don’t know what to do. I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.
HIS DIARY:
My Harley wouldn’t start today, but at least I got laid
