This year I wanted to step out of the box and do something really special for my wife for St. Valentine’s Day.  She did not need any more chocolate (mine observation,  not hers) and we have never had luck with flowers.   So this year I went so far as to go to a gift consultant for advise.  After a lot of questions and some in depth probing she finally recommend that I buy my wife something of a more personal nature.  She then explained that exotic lingerie might be the thing.  I had never bought anything like that and must admit that it was an experience.

Plus there’s just enough current music news and album reviews to balance things out.

Sure not all of the music trivia is interesting. Sometimes it’s something kind of lame. But a lot of times it’s really something thought provoking such as the recent post about Thomas Edison inventing the record player. It’s really amazing how much stuff Edison invented.

Being a guitar player is truly a gift. I just can not elaborate the feeling of expressing yourself with an instrument.

Too many artists easels are made of poor quality. Artists easels need to be constructed of high quality canvas and wood fir. Having these components as a foundation for the easel is usually not enough, artists easels need to be strong and have a professional finish as well.

Some of the more expensive models also carry paper towel dispensers on the right or left side.

While planning our wedding, my husband and I had trouble agreeing on anything!  I wanted the ceremony in the church.  He wanted the garden.  Five attendants each seemed like the perfect number to me.  He thought three were sufficient.  By the time we got around to selecting a photographer we were so frustrated with one another we were ready to call it all off!  Much to our surprise, we found something we agreed on!  One More Photographer impressed both of us immediately. The photographs they took were all we could have dreamed.  We both adamantly agree we found the best wedding photographer in Minneapolis!  Thanks for giving us at least one thing to agree about!

There are people who prepare months in advance for St. Patrick’s Day. For example, the Irish Tourism Council, among many other companies and entities, places ads all over the Internet. They’re all hoping to capture the attention of the many people who are online searching for free St. Patrick’s Day clip art and other holiday-related items, so they can lure them to see Ireland, the country where the holiday began thousands of years ago. And it works, because even though St. Patrick’s Day is many weeks away, you can already find many St. Patrick’s Day ads. I’m sure more and more people will click on them as the holiday draws nearer.

It’s definitely worth the purchase for me and my three sons who have learned Spanish from it.
