As a person who works in law enforcement, I can tell you that the crime rate will not get any better with time. Yes, it may have its downward curves for a few years but it’s guaranteed to go back up. As society sinks further into its self-serving and self-motivated ways, the only result will […]
Life and Ice Cream
Computer Programs Can Be a Headache
Some of the most widely used computer applications are generally idiot proof and user friendly. A lot of the office packages are great because it makes it very simple to share information from one application to another with little or no hassle. However, if you don’t use these items on a regular basis, any training […]
The singing children of Hope Children’s Home
There is a children’s home on the north side of Tampa, Florida called Hope Children’s Home (HCH). That is the home for a couple hundred kids from all walks of life. It is a fantastic organization that raises kids that cannot be reared in normal homes for various reasons. The Florida Department of Children and […]
Good Neighbors Aren’t a Dime a Dozen
I must be one of the most fortunate people in this world to have wonderful neighbors. They have been a real blessing to me and my family and I am truly thankful for them. They are peaceful, quiet, content, and mind their own business. They are also very pleasant to my children and lend a […]
Good Old Fashioned Ice Cream
Our family seems to go through ice cream in spurts. We eat it like it’s going out of style for a month and then we’ll have ice cream that sits around in the freezer for a month and nobody wants to eat it. I guess you could say the one ice cream flavor that works for […]
Roach Murder
Roaches are a constant problem in the tropical areas and Florida is no exception. Even the best of domestic engineers cannot keep the pests away. I am convinced that the level of cleanliness has nothing to do with the habitation of roaches unfortunately. Because of finances, my husband and I thought it would be prudent […]

We had a small party last month…a small party. My husband was running to the store to pick up a few things, and I asked him to grab a half gallon of ice cream or two. I should mention, at this point, that my husband is wonderful about grocery shopping. Though we both prefer to […]
SVAT Home Security Video Monitoring with the VISS7500
When the house you own is loaded with the priceless treasures and memories that you have collected over the years, it is a time that one considers about a security solution for them.

USB Drives Simplify Life for College Students
I can remember the frantic hassle of adjusting to college as a freshman. First, I arrived on campus with boxes and bags and suitcases full of everything I would need to survive the next few months of the semester, everything from soap to notebooks to the iron to my computer to my handy USB flash […]
I’m not gettin’ a pie in my face!
What was I thinking? Our church is having Vacation Bible School this week and I have the fun job of heading it up. One of the tradional parts of VBS (at least when I was growing up) is to raise money to give to a missionary. So, that’s what we’re doing this year. Now in […]
