Rain and cold fronts reminds us that old man winter is still dragging his feet to get outta here. This gave me the opportunity to pursue my tasks inside, and on here. 

   My "Warm Hugs for Dark Nights" gift boxes are on sale here on this site however in the near future they will be available elsewhere. Research and decisions about how and where they will be sold are being made. I have one last hurdle to accomplish before I am ready for the "box push". The musical CD. My research sessions have been focused on this lately. Just the right songs and song artist is vitally important for this very special gift box line. I've searched and prayed and am convinced that God is going to lead the right singer/group that he has in mind for this project.
   I've been informed that my site would have more options and opportunities if it had an "intregraded" shopping cart. This is a process that I am currently working on and will have it added to my site in the near future.

   My nephew, Josh's wedding is quickly approaching. Bud's daughter-in-law, Angie is going to make the cake since she has her own baking business, and I will complete the "building" and decoration detail at the wedding site. Today Angie sent a sample cake. Bud and I had fun sampling the tasty treat. You can find more details about this and Dana's Wedding here on this site at:

Bud and I finally got all the severely trimmed trees in our yard cut up and cleaned up, finishing the last of it (except for a few wood splitting pieces) Saturday evening between rain showers and thunderstorms.

Bud helped James finish his engine that will be for sale soon. It's a 1967 427 corvette engine. Details can be found in the Garage of this site.

Seems I've been "Blessed" with several challenges all at the same time concerning my adventures here on my website and the goals I want to accomplish. However, a big dose of determination will help me forge on.
  One of the tasks is the fact that I have many photos on my website. Yeah, I know, I'm a visual person. So, at the present time I am taking steps to reorganize how I post my photos here. You will find I have begun to add photo galleries where the photos are smaller yet you can click on each to enlarge. The goal here is keep the page loading time down. And, it gives a better viewing aspect. 
   I am excited about my "Warm Hugs for Dark Nights" gift boxes and the the progress I've made of offering them to the public for purchase. I've hit about 3 snags recently but am determined to take plan B, C, D, E, F and even G until this project is off and running. I will keep you posted on my progress!

     Today has been a messy, rainy day. So, I've taken a bit of time today to continue to work on and update this website. Today I added a blog for my parents so all of their friends can keep updated on their happenings and interests. This is part of my website design project. I'm enjoying creating such things for them. :)
      I'm excited about the fact that Mom & Dad now have their own blog where their updates can be posted. This worked out really great over the weekend with news of one of their friends passed away unexpectedly and several wanting to get info about her. I believe this will become a great tool for my parents and those who love to hear from them.

Today I took the liberty to write another Hub Article.
"My CPAP, My Friend".
Tips and advice on how to adjust to wearing the CPAP for Sleep Apnea.

I've been wanting to rearrange my website for a while now. few thoughts here, few thoughts there... so today was moving day. Several things got shuffled around. I hope it is more "user friendly". :)

It's been a long journey but my book is finally published!
"Warm Hugs for Dark Nights" is a collection of short inspirational stories that I've written over the past few years. This book is an ingredient in my "Warm Hugs for Dark Nights" gift boxes.  This was a large hurdle for me and a personal accomplishment. I have a couple more "hurdles" to get through before this project gets off the ground. I will keep plunging on.
