Thought

One can't get a yesterday back. One should live them to their fullest and don't fill them with choices that one will regret for all of tomorrow.

Question of the day

If you had the chance to wear the underwear of someone famous, who would you choose? 

Trip to Richmond

 

Yesterday we took a road trip to Richmond to buy honey from My Honey Co. Check out their website for a ton of information. Another good source is the National Honey Board. The owners are very nice, helpful, and down to earth. I have been going there twice a year for the past three years for honey products. I am sure glad that we got out there early. The traffic through town was getting pretty heavy due to a concert in Twin Lakes Wisconsin. I did not realize that Country Thunder was this weekend.

 

 

 

 

Besides going to My Honey, we also stopped off at Anderson’s Candy Shop. They have real good chocolate treats, but at a high price in my opinion. A candy bar cost $2.60. There was a variety of candies.

 

 

Check out the color of this house! Pretty cool. I wouldn’t mind living in a pink house.

Love

It is alright to love the heart that hurt you. Just never hurt the heart that loves you.

Question of the day

What would you do if you notice that your friend had a self-destructive behavior pattern that they were unaware of? Would you talk to them about it?

Alcoholism and Drugs

Drugs and alcoholism are another form of suicide which kills the body slowly and painfully.

People who think that alcohol and drugs solves life’s situations are damaged mentally. These type of toxins are more of an illusion maker than a problem solver. They trick the mind to make it feel as if all the problems have been washed away. But, the brain knows better. As the toxins infect the brain, the brain takes the unsolved problems and locks them behind an air tight door. The door begins to open once the toxins start to dissipate and then floods the mind with the same issues. What happens next? One starts to drink and/or do drugs again. The process repeats.

Life is hard and unfair, that is a part of living. There is nothing stronger that living life itself. This is what I live for:

1. My kids, I would do anything for them.
2. The smell of a baby, there is no other smell like it in the world.
3. Love, has it’s ups and downs but always works out in the end.
4. Sex, it’s like be reborn.
5. Music, can soothe one’s soul.
6. Art, shows us how others see things in the world.
7. Pizza, one of the best creations ever!
8. Roses, a sweet smell and strong meaning.
9. The smell of spring rain.
10. The changing seasons.
11. Boat rides on the river.
12. Road trips in a car.
13. Building with Lego’s.
14. Walking through the woods.
15. Shoveling snow while it is snowing.
16. Playing guitar.
17. Eating key lime pie.
18. Playing video games.
19. Eating eggs.
20. Drinking coffee.

And more. 

What do you live for?

The Sorcerer's Apprentice – Great movie!

Yesterday I went to the show and saw The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. I really enjoyed it. The movie was filled with action and excitement. Cage played his character very well.
There must be something wrong with movie critics. They really need to change the rating system or find new critics who actually enjoy movies. There really is no such thing as a movie masterpiece anymore.
I would recommend this one as a must see.

One can do it

One can be anything they want to be. All one has to do is believe.

There are a lot of people out there that believe they cannot do what others can or even do anything at all. It is true, but only for those who give up easily.

What about you?

Many people, both past and present, have accomplished great things. What is your greatest accomplishment? Is there anything in your life that you would hope to do better?

Road trip to Elgin: Gail Borden Public Library

On Wednesday, we took a little trip to Elgin. One of our stops was the Gail Borden Public Library. What so fascinating was their reading program theme, comics! It was a pretty awesome set up. I wish our library reading program did something cool like this. I was also amazed that the library wall hanging pictures available to take out on a library card as well.

The library also has a bike art show going on at the same time. Pretty cool.

Question of the day

You do not like the name that you are given. If you could be renamed after someone from history, whose name would you chose?

New stop signs Downtown Crystal Lake

I did forget to mention that there is a new stop sign(s) at Williams and Brink in Downtown Crystal Lake. All I got to say is, it’s about time!
