    This year we are going to be getting a pretty good sized tax return. I think that I am going to pay off a few small bills, and then I am going to splurge a little bit. I would love to be able to get a Juki Sewing Machine. I am not sure that I can find one for the price I am willing to pay, but I am going to start looking around. I am not sure what my husband is going to say about this, but he will just have to get over it. I am going to do this.

    Are you interested in improving your golf score? If so, you’re not alone. There are plenty of people out there in the same boat as you, and what they do is get either a Belding or Ping Hoofer golf bag. The reason that it is so important to get one of these types is because of how high quality they are. Will they actually improve your score? Technically not, but they will make sure that your clubs, drivers, and putters do not get damaged. You need to try them out for yourself, and you will love the fact that they have stands.

    A great resource for people who enjoy model aircrafts is model airplane magazines. Check out the Model Airplane International Magazine, it is really something you will not regret. It is a monthly publication for those who enjoy model aircrafts and want to learn more. You can find updated news regarding our interest and all about techniques for flying your aircraft. Another worthy publication is the Flying Model Magazine which has a lot of new product announcements, and also very good articles on how to plumb your plane and information about proper landing techniques for your model plane. Another informative and fun publication is Airwaves Model Airplane News.

    We recently renovated our basement into a game room for the family.  We love spending time there and we especially love playing with our new electronic dart board.  We found a local store that sells a lot of Darts Equipment and it is becoming one of our favorite activities do do together as a family.  The kids love it and we have learned to play all different types of games.  We bought a great cabinet to store all of our equipment in and we are finally getting a lot of use out of our basement.  We also enjoy the time spent as a family.

    The christmas when my brother and I got the Markli model train was one of the best ever. That train with a black locomotive and the 4 wagons was new and fulfilled our wildest dreams of a crhismas gift. The railroad pieces made it possible to build a couple of different layouts and later on we saved money and could add more pieces. When I tried to setup the model train for our four year old grand son it didn’t work. Not surprisingly as we got the model train 1952. The electricity is there but I think the locomotive has to be repaired. So now I’ll just find a shop to get it done.

    I was out with friends for a nature trip on a mountain. My dad made sure I will take with me his digital binocular. I was reluctant at first but decided to take it with me due to my father’s insistence. And I never regret as when I was already on top of the mountain overlooking a bay, I was mesmerized with the breathtaking sight I saw. The more I was able to appreciate it by using the binocular I brought for the trip. My friends kept borrowing it all throughout the day and I am glad my dad was right I will appreciate it when I am already on top of the mountain to enjoy the views I will see.

    I love treasure hunting. I think its adventurous and its neat to think about a story-real or imagined- that led you to find the piece of metal or coin or jewelry. I have a couple of metal detectors that I keep in the back in the trunk of the car. I pull them out when I have a little extra time and I go to parks or beaches as the case may be. I find it exciting and relaxing all at the same time. The detectors I got on sale and I keep an extra battery pack just in case.

    It is not too often that one gets the chance to take pictures underwater. I have been invited by my cousin for a scuba diving adventure together with her friends and I instantly grabbed the chance. I never thought diving would be so much fun. I was able to use my friend’s Nikkon SLR  Underwater Video Camera to take souvenir from my experience. I was able to see different sea creatures and I was awed by how beautiful the beds of water can be. The video camera I borrowed from my friend allows me to take videos and pictures of the beauty of the sea. I will definitely make an album for the picture perfect scenes I have taken underwater and I just might want to pursue joining the scuba diving club where my friend is a member.
