New Bicycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My grandson just rode a bicycle without training wheels for the first time. He was so proud of himself. He only fell acouple of times as he was learning to navigate turn around in the street. That means the little bike he has been riding is now too small for him. He needs to ask Santa for a new bigger bike!

MACBOOK 2.16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have just bought a macbook 2.16 laptop computer and am trying to get used to the differences between it and my Toshiba PC. It took me a while to find the word processing program and figure out how to use it. I am still wondering if this will be readable by the blog site. I suppose it will. I have gotten some of my bookmarks on the Internet made and am getting comfortable with how to navigate on the web. Outlook Express works a bit different here as well. I wonder how long it will take to get used to this.

SMORTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I began to blog about eighteen months ago, hoping to make money from the pay per click ads that were placed on my posts by advertisers. For most of the first year the earnings from pay per click ads were very slim. But recently I have found Smorty.com. And I have found there is money to be made from my blog now with Smorty’s help.

Smorty is a web firm that connects bloggers with advertisers who will pay for blog advertising. They want to have blogs that are written with links to the advertiser’s website. The posts describe his products or services.

Smorty’s service is free to join and the conditions for acceptance are easy to meet. A blog needs to be indexed by Google and Yahoo, and must have been in existence for more than 90 days. Your blog must not have violent or hate related content, nor adult content. The blog needs to be active, averaging a couple of posts a week minimum.

Smorty says that it can take up to 72 hours to be approved, but in my experience it didn't take that long. When you accept an assignment from them, you write a post , submit it for approval, and once approved you will be paid through your PayPal account. It is very simple, and I believe it will be profitable for all who partner with Smorty to blog for money.

Celaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a favorite place to eat Mexican food? Ours a little family restaurant called Celaya. When we found it, it was only five or six minutes from our house. The owners are very friendly and their food they serve is better than any Mexican food we have ever tried, and we have tried a lot of it.
My favorite is a shrimp quesadilla.

About a year and a half ago they decided not to pay the proposed increase in rent when their lease expired. They chose to move to a new location, two towns away from us. We don’t go as often now as we did when they were around the corner, but when we really want good Mexican food we drive the half hour to get to Celaya. We just got back from a trip over there. I am full and satisfied!

Do you have a favorite spot to eat that is not on the beaten path?

LIAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That stands for Leeward Islands Air Transport, an airline that has a relative monopoly to many of the smaller Caribbean islands. The locals have other ways to use the acronym. They call LIAT "Luggage In Another Town" or Leave Island Any Time".

Our group of seventeen that recently went to Dominica, flew LIAT from San Juan to the Melville Hall airport. We had checked 18 bags in total. Guess how many of them arrived.

Zero, not one. We finally got them on Monday after we had arrived on Friday!

FREE CREDIT REPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These days it is relatively easy to keep track of your credit rating. You can go on line and take a look at your status using a free credit report. It has not always been so. You could call to request information or you could have it mailed to you. But if you were wanting to take out a loan, especially a big one, it was more difficult to be able to determine if you were going to be qualified.

You used to have to go through an application process that would take hours or even days to complete while the lender checked on your credit history. In that regard, I don’t want to go back to the good old days!

THE CASE FOR CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A group of young adults from the congregation where I worship has been involved in a book study of a book on Christian Evidences, The Case For Christ. It was written by Lee Strobel. It is about his search for evidence to support or undermine the resurrection of Jesus. It has been a profitable study for all of us!
