TV Codes

More and more people are now thinking of ways on how they can stretch their budget and save on the things that they use on a daily basis. Some are always on constant lookout for items that are on sale in their local stores. Others would look for coupons in their newspaper such as red envelope tv codes and use them for their purchases. The savings they get help a lot in their monthly budget. They know that if they are conscious about their spending habits, they will not exceed their monthly budget.

Camping Trip

It's been awhile since our last camping trip. I think the last time we went camping was like two years ago.
I wish my family and I can go camping again. These photos were taken at Lake Tahoe campground.
Fun memories!







Air Force Awards

Hubby officially retired from the Air Force last month. So a week before his retirement day, his squadron gave him a little retirement/appreciation ceremony at Beale, AFB. Too bad my daughter and I weren' there to witness the event.
Here are some of his retirement awards.
940th Wing coin.
A bronze eagle. The eagle symbolizes the virtues of strength, courage, and character.
The Air Force Commendation medal.

This is my entry for this week's ABC Wednesday, letter A!

Rock

Initially, I was going to call it "Rock of LOVE" but I realized it sounds very corny...lol! Anyhow, I had this rock for a couple of years now. Hubby bought it at the base during his duty in the Air Force.
The first thing he said when he got home was "Honey, I got you something for your garden. I hope you'll like it" hahhaha...I thought he found it somewhere and brought it home. It's cute though! 






Zebrafish

Owning an aquarium is a very popular hobby with millions of people around the world. Besides a delightful passtime, an aquarium helps relieve stress. I had my first aquarium when I was in high school, and it was a tiny one. I think it was a 5-gallon fish tank. When I moved to the US, hubby bought me a 20-gallon fish tank.

One of my favorite fish is the ZEBRAFISH. They're cute and they swim far faster than goldfish.
Recently, I bought a new big tank for my fish. Now, I'm maintaining 2 fish tanks. Maintaining an aquarium is not a pain in the b**t. Nope, not at all! I only change filters once a month, and have my bottom feeders and janitor fish cleans the inside for me...lol!

1500 Jigsaw Puzzle

Would anyone be willing to take this challenge? I need someone to help me solve this jigsaw puzzle because my partner just gave up....lol!
It's been 2 weeks since we started.
I won't give up for sure, and I'll continue this challenge by myself....hhahaha! I can't wait to frame it!
Jigsaw puzzles can be your worst nightmare and your favourite pastime. It teaches you patience and tenacity. They are not very easy but the enjoyment is worth it. Have you ever completed a jigsaw puzzle before. Are you patient with jigsaw puzzles?










Triton Link Necklace

Jewelry is not just for women. Some men wears jewelry too! My dad is a good example. He loves jewelry more than my mom. I think I inherited that characteristic from him because I love jewels. I remember when I was a kid, my dad bought me a pair of earrings and a gold necklace on my birthday. And he’s the one who took me to the store to have my ears pierced when I was 5 years old. That’s my dad! On his birthday, I am planning to give him a triton link necklace. I know he prefers gold over sterling silver but if it’s a gift from me, I’m sure he can't resist.






Life Insurance On My Terms

It is always advisable that before you enter any agreement, you find out everything you can about it first. This will saves you from bigger problems that may occur in the future in case you agree on something that you don’t know anything about. If it’s your first time to acquire a life insurance for your family, spend as much time as you can to educate yourself on what you should need to know about life insurance. It is always helpful if you browse through sites that will help you in this. Life Insurance On My Terms can guide you as you decide which insurance plan can provide what you are looking for. Although having a life insurance is important, the process of selecting the right one is just as important.

Texas Spiny Lizard

I almost got a heart attack when I saw this fella lounging on our deck. Holy cranberry batman! I've never seen this scaly lizard before. At first glance, I thought it was an iguana...lol!
I hurriedly went inside and grabbed my camera. Freaky, he looked at me!
The Texas Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus olivaceus) is a fairly common resident of most of Texas; its range also extends northward into Oklahoma and southward well into Mexico. It spends a great deal of time on fence posts and in trees where it searches for food, but can be encountered on rocks or on the ground as well. - Greg Lasley



This is my entry for this week's Camera Critters.

No Sew Pillow Covers

I did this project a couple of years ago. It's called "no sew pillow covers". Since I don't have any knowledge of sewing, I decided to just browsed the web and found THIS really cool tutorial.
I really enjoy doing this activity because sewing is unnecessary. How cool is that! This is the first pillow cover I made, I love the result. I also used other floral fabrics. It looks better than this one though. I was going to share the photo but I just can't find the picture of it. 
I no longer use this pillow covers because I have some new ones that are made by mamiAdin

Yardwork

Here's my entry for this week's ABC Wednesday, Y is for YARDWORK.
Hubby and I are trying hard to improve our yard. Instead of hiring a professional landscaper, we decided to just do it on our own. Project like this is quite expensive.
Our yard is getting a whole lot better now. We still need more plants and other yard stuff.

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are one of my favorite birds. They are just cute. I just get excited every time I see a hummingbird....can't imagine holding one!
This little fella accidentally flew into our garage weeks ago. Hubby was trying to catch it but the bird was frantic and so desperate to get out. Hubby starting to get frustrated after a few minutes of chasing the bird around. So, I came to the rescue and dragged a bar stool. I reached up and carefully closed my hand around its small wings. I caught a hummingbird!
His body is so fragile. So cute and tiny. We set him free after a few minutes of mesmerization and pictorial...lol!
