Cheap Technology

With everyone trying to save as much as they can right now. I thought I would share a link to wonderful site that I found they take paypal and have very low prices and free to low shipping cost. It is called NewEgg and it can be found at www.newegg.com . I purchased a memory card with reader for my LG Rumor phone for only $7.95 (a savings of $20 off most local stores) and I was able to take advantage of free shipping. When you sign up for their newsletter they will send you coupon codes to get rebates and/or free shipping off various products. I have to say that I went back again and was able to purchase a Bluetooth headset for 13.99 and the shipping on it was only 3.99. This saved me almost $20 for this item as well. I hope that you will be able to save on items that you need as I have. I plan on using this site for most of my technology purchases in the future because the have great deals.

This is so funny

I had to share this I really think that it is so funny. A friend of mine showed this video over the weekend and I think that it is too funny.

A Great Read

I have been meaning to write this for a while now. If you are a fan of mysteries then this book is for you. It is a plus that it revolves around a weekly knitting circle who come together to help in a time of sadness, and fear.

Death By Cashmere, A Seaside Knitters Mystery
by Sally Goldenbaum.
ISBN 9780451224712

From the first page to the last I found myself unable to put this book down. Picture a beautiful seaside town, where everyone knows you and your business, where there are people that have lived there all their lives mixed with newcomers this is Sea Harbor, MA. Each of the characters are very well rounded, and well written, they each have such a depth to them that you really connect with them, and feel like you know them. With each page I began to feel like I was being drawn into the world of Sea Harbor, MA. I could almost see the details of the locations as they are described. Each and every chapter of this book with keep you wanting more. The conclusion to this story is so well written that when you read the answer to the mystery you really begin to see the clues that were written into each chapter but I did not put them together. I really would recommend this to anyone looking for a very good read. There is a lace knitting pattern in the back that I am really wanting to try it is for a scarf and it really sounds like it would be a great beginner's lace project.

Here is an excerpt from the publisher's website:
This brand-new mystery series spins a yarn about knitters and murder in a quaint seaside village.
Not long after Isabel “Izzy” Chambers opens up a knitting shop in the sleepy fishing town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts, a diverse group of women begins congregating each week to form the Seaside Knitters.Izzy raises some eyebrows when she rents the apartment above her shop to Angie Archer, whose reputation for loose behavior and a quick temper has made her unpopular with many locals. But could any of them have wanted her dead? Angie’s body is discovered drowned in the harbor, her long red hair tangled like seaweed in a lobster trap.An official investigation rules the death an accident. There are speculations of too many whiskey sours, a slippery wharf, a dark night… But Izzy and the Seaside Knitters smell something fishy. When several strange incidents occur above the shop, the women decide to take matters into their own hands. But before long, their small-town sense of security is frayed, and the threat of more violence hangs over this tightly knit community.

I would really like to read other books by Sally Goldenbaum, and I will let you know how they turn out.

I haven't forgot about you all

This is a picture from a beautiful organic farm in Vermont, that I took on our road trip.

I have been so busy over the past month that I have not had the time or energy to post. I have been back in school since July 14th, and the girls started back on Aug. 1st. I have been crafting. I have made a baby blanket, a sample scarf for a kit that I am making up. I made a quick lap blanket for the house, and 7 balloon valances for the school that the girls go to. I have also been working on finding a job. I feel that I have not been keeping this up a well as I should be anymore. I will come back and post when I can. The last time I said that I was taking a break I ended up posting like crazy for a while. I thank you for reading. I really plan on posting as often as possible.

I have been going nuts over at YouTube lately. I am able to watch it on my phone and I have found a few that I would like to share.

More Road Trip Pictures

Here is a picture of the cabin that we stayed in on Saturday night in Plattsburgh, NY.
I wish that we could have spent a few more days here because it would have been fun to cook in this little kitchen.

This is the living room of the cabin. Me and the girls slept here. The thought is was cool to sleep on a foton but I could not take another night sleeping on a metal rod.

The girls had to have cereal for breakfast Sunday morning. We all slept on the foton in the living room. Tim have the bedroom all to himself.

The nice lady that was running the campground offered to take a family picture for us as we were getting ready to go.
