Did you know about group travel tours?
As we are about a year away from becoming "empty nesters", my husband and I have started thinking about some things we would love to do. We really would love to start doing some traveling, including hiking and camping. Now as we continue our conversations and really start dreaming, then come the thoughts of traveling in Europe and other places overseas. Glad I found out about group travel tours at passports.com! Now we can start doing some research to make those dreams realities!!

Did You Know About the Texas City Dike?
Did you know about the Texas City Dike?
It is a short drive from my home and I had heard of it before but had never ventured over to check it out. The original dike was destroyed in Hurricane Ike and closed for two years. It has since reopened and is a great recreational site for many water lovers in the area. The dike itself is about four miles long. There is fishing available all along both sides of the dike. At the far end is a beach area where folks can hang out on the sand and swim. There are not really any waves on the beach area but looks like a nice place to play and relax. The day we went the water was filled with jellyfish so beware! The dike is open 24 hours and requires a $5 entry fee for non-residents on Fri-Sun during the summer; weekdays are free.
Just before entering the dike there is a with a walking trail. There is also a road running perpendicular to the dike called Skyline Drive which folks can drive along for more fishing spaces. It is also accessible to runners and cyclists.

Did You Know About the Blue Microphones Spark?
Did you know about the blue microphones spark?
The newest in this prograde microphone is a small mic that provides a "unique Focus Control switch for a wider range of high-to-low end sonic signatures." This is something that aids those working at an in-home studio, providing them with the equipment needed to make those pro sounds. This small sized mic can be used both with instruments and vocals.

Did You Know About the Power of Mantras?
Did you know about the power of mantras?
While training for triathlons, there are many moments that I'd like to just stop. When it's hot outside. Or raining. Or I'm tired. But I've learned over the years the power of mantras, or mottos. I have four that I really rely on.
Of course there is the one I taught the little girl I used to keep and she used on me: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
Or one that was used when my son was in training for his black belt: "Train hard, test easy."
Also my favorite before jumping into the cold pool: "Don't think, just do it."
And my all around favorite: "I am stronger than...._________"
That last one is perfect for any moment of weakness as you can insert whatever it is that is bothering you (I am stronger than the heat; I am stronger than my tired legs; I am stronger than I thought I was.)
I have found the power of mantras get me through many of those tough moments of any workout or long training program.

I just found the mbox 3 at musicians friend online. This little beauty is priced for student's and their instructors! Priced at $225 with free shipping makes this little pro grade recorder/editor/mixer affordable for educational institutions; they even allow this pricing for homeschooled students. This device helps you sound like a pro while still being fairly simple to use. To get this educational edition you do have to provide proper documentation of your educational facility.

Did you know I may need an intervention?

Of course there was only one of each size so I had to go on over today on my day off to pick up the next newest thing!! I think I may need an intervention.....

Our church is always having functions that we need to advertise for. And of course we always want the best deal possible. We have to use our funds wisely, so we do look for cheap brochures, give aways and other ways to advertise our events while still being cost efficient.
