Chicago

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Every year we take a trip to the best city in the world, Chicago. We always take in a baseball game at Wrigley Field, and always take a limo tour of the city to see the lights, sounds and smells of this great city. Last year we took a stretch limo around the city, and it was the best ride I have ever taken, this year we are going to take a town car on our travels around Chicago. This Chicago Ohare Limo company has everything we need to see this wonderful city in absolute comfort.

This year we are going to make stops at the Navy Pier and the Lincoln Park Zoo, these are two site I have always wanted to see while in Chicago. The Art Institute is also high on my wifes list, I am not sure we will make it there this year but it will be high on our list for next year.

LimoRes.net is a great company that has top notch limos and town cars, they have always treated us great while we are in Chicago and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is taking a trip to the Windy City.

Grandmother

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Just got off the phone with my sister, my 93 year old grandmother has passed away. This is a very sad day for my, she was more a mother than a grandmother, her and my grandfather raised the three of us after my mother died in 1973. It was not a rich household in money but overflowed with love and care. My grandfather died in 1984 it seems such a long time ago and that was the saddest day of my life until today. We will be leaving for Oklahoma tomorrow, it will be a long sad drive.

Car loans

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

As my children get ever closer to driving age I have stressed the point to keep your credit in good shape and then you will be able to purchase a new car when you are ready. I so wish I had taken this sage advise to heart myself, when I was younger I made some very questionable decisions and now my credit is paying the price. I need help to get a car loan and try to rebuild my credit.

As I get closer to needing a new car I have tried to rebuild my credit and it is a little better but not good enough to get a good rate for a new car loan. I have found a site that will assist me in getting a loan, they work in getting car loans for bad credit, I know I will be needed a new car soon and I have been looking for the right fit. Working with a great company like GimmeARide.com has made my dream of owning a new car closer to reality.

Rain

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Today we had a very nice summer storm, we were getting pretty dry and needed some rain well we got a bunch today and it was accompanied by a lot of thunder and lightning, some hit very close to our house but we never lost power, one good thing about living so close to the airport, they get our power back on very quick when it does go out. Diva our smallest and youngest dog was very unhappy with the thunder, shaking and wanting to be held she is pretty fearless but today she really was the baby of our family.

Warehouse

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Our warehouse is in dire need of repairs to the roof, it leaks and in spots you can actually see the sunshine through it. We have decided to go with metal roof coating to seal out the weather and make our building dry again. We went with this process that also blocks the sun and helps keep the building cool.

We did some looking around and the very best price we could find was from Solar Cool they have a product that reflects the heat and helps keep the building cool as well as keeping out the weather too. My dad has been a roofing contractor for as long as I can remember, he is retired now but he told me that this process would only cost about as much as painting the roof but would protect a lot more and would work for what we need. Solar Cool has a great price on this process and we are going to have our roof repaired and at the same time we will be keeping our building cooler and the biggest part we will save a load of money at the same time.
