applause for a good company


this wonderful company has really creative, high quality & reasonable pricing on unique personalized gifts (which i LOVE!)...

i won't go into details (so as to not spoil the surprise for certain gift recipients at an upcoming holiday), but here's been my history of intaraction with this company:

1. ordered a couple of cute gifts at a great price
2. received my order which was perfect, except for a small defect on one of the items.
3. contacted the company explaining the problem & my situation (that i needed the gift by a certain date).
4. received a prompt reply promising a new item.
5. got the new item quickly & in perfect condition - i didn't even have to pay extra shipping or return the slightly defective item.


i highly recommend doing business with them.
here are a couple of their fun products.... upload your own pics, of course... haven't you always wanted to be on a pillow or a wheaties t-shirt???

phantastes


i realize you can preview certain books on amazon, etc., but i love how this takes you right to it. how cool is that?

chip off the old...


at our rehearsal dinner (and i conjecture many other times), mike's dad proudly told a story of mike (at a very young age, like 6 or something) completely taking apart a bicycle & putting it back together in working order.
i sat down to check email this morning & glanced over to my left to see this:

Redfish-ing...



I finally got to go fishing on the Indian River near the east coast of Florida on saturday as part of a birthday present to a friend. We found success and caught two redfish and a nice sea trout...all of which grilled up nicely.
