Look At This, Dad

My dad is thrilled to have a place where he can work on keeping our family vehicles clean and run his business. He has worked at homes where the garage floors were stained with oil and nasty looking. He would not be able to stand that. He is picky about his floor. I guess that is because he is in the business of floors. He uses his garage floor to roll out the carpets he needs to cut and so they must be kept very clean. He has been looking for a way to keep the dust down on his floor. The guys are constantly sweeping the floor yet if you were to run your hand across the cement, your hand would come up with a fine white dust showing. www.carguys.com offers some great solutions for garage floors. I am going to get him in here to see if a coating they offer would suit him. He might need to email them and let them know of his particular situation. From what I read on their website, they are very customer service oriented. I think they would be interested in helping dad with his dust problem.

Ah, Turkey Day Ends

Woo hoo! The Colts won. Now we can go to bed. We are all trying to stay awake to watch the end of the game and pick up stuff that has been left laying around the house. The dogs have been snoozing already and I think they wish we would quit moving around so they can get into a deep sleep. They didn’t get their usual naps today. We had so many people in the house. They didn’t want to miss a chance at someone dropping a bit of turkey for them to lap up.

I am not sure if we are going shopping tomorrow. I would like to buy some new pants. It is going to be crazy at the mall.

Are you going shopping on Black Friday?

Artwalks in St. Augustine

gallery.gifI am excited to be moving to Florida. There are so many things to see and do in northern Florida. St. Augustine Artwalk is a fun way to enjoy art and music. St. Augustine is less than an hour from where I will be living!

On the first Friday of every month, the city of St. Augustine comes alive when they hold their Artwalk. Many of the art galleries of the city have come together to celebrate art. Music fills the street as locals and tourists attend the much loved First Friday Weekend Art Walk. The free Artwalks feature all types of beautiful art. I know I am going to love seeing the different types of mediums. One of my close friends graduated from art school and I learned all about art when we lived together while attending college. I appreciate art more after I saw all that went into how she used her talent to express her art.

I think the Artwalk will be a fun thing to do with the new friends I will be meeting. There is a Sightseeing Train and a Trolley that tours the different galleries. I am interested in photography and painting and can’t wait to see the talented artist’s work. Aside from the art, I think the event will be a fun way to see more of my new home. I am on the lookout for fun things to do and free parking offered at the Artwalk works well with my budget! I plan on seeing what Florida has to offer.
