America's Favorite Gift Cards

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of FriendGiftr. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was just checking out my calendar for the month of July and I can't believe how many birthdays there are. I like to buy gifts but it is getting to be such a hassle to know just what the person would like. Then you have to find the proper wrapping paper and do not forget a pretty bow for the gift. It is just getting to be too much work for me so I checked out the Internet and I found FriendGiftr a wonderful site where I could get both physical gift cards or I could even send real digital gift cards to all those on my birthday list. They have 120 merchants to choose from and I think the best part is that they can be exchanged for a different gift card from any one of those 120 merchants if they do not like the one I sent them. It will not cost them a dime to do that. What a lifesaver. We have a wonderful Cabela store not far from us and both the guys and gals on my list love to shop there. My best friend's birthday was in March and I had an awful time finding her something she would like. It seems when we get our age, we have everything and if I could have sent her a gift card, she could have picked out something she might have been wanting but didn't want to spend the money on right then. Gift cards are truly so easy and a real life saver. I love them.

Pizza Night

Yay! I don't have to make supper tonight. We are going to the Pizza ranch for supper. They have the most delicious broasted chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, mac & cheese, chicken fingers and a great big salad bar. Not only that but they have all kinds of pizza, cheese sticks and dip and dessert pizza, called cactus bread. When we go in they ask what kind of pizza you would like and if they don't already have it on the buffet, they will make one for you. Also they will make apple or peach cactus bread instead of just the plain cinnamon streusel one. I can hardly wait.

Abandon Your Home?

We are really living in a topsy turvy world today. The recession has touched every single family in the United States in some way. Many people have found they no longer have a job they had for many years. They have no income either, or they are living or trying to exist on unemployment. It is bad enough that they can't make their car payments but they have had to cut back on the everyday things in life such as food and clothing. However, the greatest obstacle in many people's lives today is their mortgage. What do they do? If they cannot pay the mortgage, is it lawful to just abandon their home and walk away? It would be a good idea to check with American Residential Law Group before you do that. Not many people realize that once you leave your house, the mortgage holder can sell your home and you may be responsible for the loss or difference in money between what it was sold for and what you owe. If you are broke now, how are you going to manage to pay that if it happens to you? You better check out the law before you take any drastic action such as walking away from your home and letting the chips fall where they may.

It Is Too HOT!

I went to the stores today and the bank registered 90 degrees. There isn't a whisper of wind outside at all. A person could die out there in that sun I think. They are doing some blacktop patching in our court and you pick up the pieces of blacktop on your car and can hear it hitting on the bottom of the car. My husband says we will never get rid of it. I suppose since it is so hot it just adheres to the underside of the car. My husband wanted to mow today but first it was too wet from the dew and now it is just plain too hot to survive outside. Thank God for air conditioning.

Moving Time

Guest post written by Jonathan Atwood

My husband is in the military and so we recently had to make a PCS move. Our move has been one of the easiest by far. Before we left our old home, that we are renting out we had called to let our phone, internet, and tv providers know that we were moving. When I made the call, I asked how to bundle CLEAR internet. All of the companies were so helpful and the same day we arrived at the house, our internet and tv man came and got everything set up for us in a timely manner. Our phone service all we had to do was call our provider and they got it transferred to a new phone number for us, since we changed area codes. I really think our son loves our new house as he keeps running through it smiling. I think our dog doesn't really know what to think, as we had always lived in the same house since we first got her. I am just really glad that our back yard is fenced in with plenty of room for our son and dog to play together. Our walls are the exact same color that our old home was, so I am glad that all of my decor will match. Moving into a new home isn't too bad after all.

Major League Baseball Tickets

When you are anxious to go to a major league baseball game, you want to get the best tickets possible. You want a great seat where you can watch every play and not miss a thing. It pays to check out the Internet for the best tickets and also get a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Going to the games is the highlight of so many peoples lives. Baseball is the all American game. Everyone loves it. The excitement of home runs and hits into the grandstand is something spectators look forward to.

We live not too far from Minnesota so the Twins are the favorite around here. With a new stadium to play in, everyone is eager to start the season.

Families

We had a family get together today out on a farm. It was hot and humid but the wind was good and kept you fairly cool. It got kind of cloudy too and that helped. We put our chairs under the shade of the apple tree and visited with a nephew and his wife from Indiana. They brought their daughter, her husband and 3 kids. The kids all have red hair. Cute. We had 4 great grandchildren there today, 4 grandchildren and 2 children. It was a huge crowd with every kind of food imaginable and soooo good. We are tired out, wind blown and ready to push back in the Lazy Boys and watch Cops and America's Most Wanted.
