Sunday morning, another party!

Woke up about 7:00am, and started helping my friend get ready for her party. She was having a party because she turned 50 years old. The house wasn’t that messy, just needed to put away all the air mattresses, pillows, and blankets that the children slept on in the family room. Then it was just a small amount of general cleaning.
We started preparing some food, and running errands. I made a casserole, well sort of. My friend went to pick up some other food, and her husband went to get ice and some last minute things.
My husband left for our house to check on the puppies around 7:30am, then he was gonna pick up the roasted pig. My friend ordered a roasted pig for her birthday. Well my husband arrived with the pig around 1:00pm.
The party started at 2:00pm, it was real nice, and a lot of fun. It was a totally different group of people from the party the night before. Its funny because my friend that turned 50 told me she wanted to meet one of her daughters teachers. She told me that she was Chinese. Well her daughters teacher got there it turned out that I already knew her, it was Helen that I hadn’t seen in a long time. I know her sister-in-law, from the Philippines. We all had a good time at the party, and ate good, real good food, and laughed had a lot of fun.

My husband was in the Navy…….

Something interesting came up the other day when I was typing a pay for blog. I heard my husband on the phone. I stopped when he got off the phone and asked what was that about? He was talking to one of his old Navy buddies and said that one of their shipmates had mesothelioma. I asked him what it was.
He said it’s a form of cancer. So how did he get it? Well when they were in the Navy, they were all in the shipyards overhauling the aircraft carrier, and his friend was working with asbestos. His friend thinks he may have got it from that.
Mesothelioma Disease is sometimes related to working around asbestos. It’s not something new, just a lot of people haven’t heard of it. It’s been around for some time, not your typical cancer.
My husband said his friend may have to get a specialized Mesothelioma Attorney if he wants to pursue this thru the courts. Most companies and the Armed Forces may not want to give you compensation. That’s a time when you need to contact a Mesothelioma Lawyer for professional help.

Parties, parties, parties………….

Saturday night was a party at our friend’s house, for her father. We left our house around 4:30 pm. We had Direct TV at our house when we left. We are getting HDTV installed, in time for the Manny Pacquio fight.
We arrived at the party and enjoyed the food, conversation with our friends. Around 9:00pm we left. We went to our other friend’s house to spend the night. The Direct TV guy was still at our house installing the HDTV!
We got to our other friends house, and started taking pictures. Her husband is a photographer. He had the whole set up with all kinds of outfits that I and my friends tried on.
All total he took approximately 250 pictures of me and my friends. It was a lot of fun, and we were laughing and trying on all these outfits. We got done taking pictures real late that night, and went to bed tired.

Something about the ocean that soothes me………

The ocean lets the mind flow, and relaxes you without knowing. That’s why people are more and more looking for oceanfront luxury condos. They have always been a premium in the real estate market.
Condos are mostly for the single, on the go type business person. Family business executives prefer the waterfront homes. I am talking about high-end properties in one of the lowest crime rated areas in New Jersey Real Estate. That would be Monmouth County, yes where you can come home after a long day at the office, and relax.
I could write a book about the area, and what it has to offer. The main reasons homes sell fast here is because of the location, you’re within minutes of everything, and the comfort of knowing that you have a secure and nice neighborhood with the same class people as you.
If you think about it, there are only a handful of states that offer ocean front property. New Jersey has the finest around, with the best amenities. Looking for nice upscale home, condo, or maybe some professional commercial property go to Monmouth County.

Do really know how to play the piano?

Most people that play the piano probably think that they can play anything anytime. Not so, try playing accompaniment piano, and the rules change. They change because you are not playing alone.
When you play accompaniment piano with a person, that is singing you will need to learn to change your style. This is what most people don’t realize when beginning to learn to play with someone else, and not alone.
Your techniques will change, and you will have to find what fits best for the person that you are playing accompaniment piano for. Every person has a different voice, and the way they use it while singing is what you need to adjust you techniques to.
It is a different type of playing, one that connects you with that person you are playing the piano for. So, most people that play the piano, really don’t know how to play accompaniment piano. It is something that you need to practice, routinely.

Happy Valentines ...

To My Best Friend……..

Another year is upon us and,

I Love you more today than yesterday.

There are many reasons for my love to

you, some big, some small, but all are the

same size….really.

How funny to think that love is different

sizes, all that matters is my love is true.

Nothing will change that, my devotion

is forever.

I knew when we met that you are a special

person. You are the one that captured my heart.

My heart is not a prisoner, you live there

and always will. I will never let you

leave.

You will always be inside me, and that

is a feeling that some people never

realize.

A feeling of having a wife, that is your

best friend………. David 14Feb2010

Driving to Texas, no problem….

We were driving to visit some friends in Texas, and on our way to Corpus Christi, TX. Somewhere around the Houston area we had car trouble. Not knowing where to find a Houston auto repair, we got on the laptop. We found a site that gave us an estimate before we went to the repair shop.
Within a few minutes we found a site that offered repairs for our Acura Integra. It was sputtering, and wanting to die out. My husband said it felt and sounded like we needed a tune up or something. We called the repair shop that we found on the laptop, and managed to drive there with our fingers crossed.
When we got there the mechanic, said it was an easy fix. He said a spark plug was fouled, and he recommended a tune up. He said it would take an hour. My husband said while your at it you might as well give it an oil change. It’s nice to have a laptop when you travel, but it’s really nice to know how much it might cost for your car repair before you get there. We called a few places once we got our estimate online, and went with the best price we got
