Tarps to the Rescue!

Hello Neighbors,

Tonight is our Family Night but I wanted to drop by for a quick visit with my neighbors.

We recently had a tree cut down in our backyard. The only problem was that cutting down the tree there was no shade for the dogs in the dog run we have set up out back. We moved it over where it has a little more shade, but it was still pretty hot, so we decided to buy a tarp to hang over the top to keep it shaded. The only problem was that it did not cover enough. We needed to use two tarps for it to properly keep the sun out. We should have checked out some custom tarps. It might have been a little more expensive but at least it would have fit properly! We also bought a little dog house that also has an upstairs platform. It has the dog house and then it has stairs to a little platform above it. It is really neat! The dogs love to sit on top and survey the area. So with the tarps, the dog house, and now of course it is getting cooler, the dogs are just fine. We may need the tarps to keep out snow next!

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June.
