Vacation Any Time with your Own Boat

I would always want a vacation for me and my family. The other day, I saw pictures of a friend’s vacation on her husband’s small boat. They, together with their daughter and another friend, went fishing and swimming in nearby islands. According to her, their boat was recently acquired by her husband because he has wanted to get one for the longest time. He simply bought a secondhand boat and had the Boat engine rebuilt so that it is almost like new. They are all pretty excited with it because it lets them go on a vacation any time.

They were also able to save a lot than if her husband bought a brand new boat. She told me about US Engines Inc. because they are the ones that rebuilds different kinds of engines like Mercruiser engines, Jeep engines, Honda engines, and many more. Their website is very informative and if we have a Marine engine that needs rebuilding, I would definitely let them do it. The engine really would almost seem brand new especially with their highly qualified and experienced technicians, and the high quality parts they use. And as proof of their skill and expertise, all engines, whether bought or rebuilt, comes with a 7-year or 70000-mile warranty. Now, it seems like having your own vacation boat is very reachable after all.

Shopping for Party Supplies: Thanksgiving Parties

Whenever I think of Thanksgiving, aside from the obvious reason of being thankful for everything in my life, I think of all the food in the table I can eat – it is the next best stuffing celebration aside from Christmas for our family! While we pretty much have a formal dinner with the family and some relatives for Turkey Day, having children has made us realize to adjust our tradition and include ways to make it more fun for them and less stressful for us.  That is why I have games and shop for some party supplies for our annual tradition now.

Thanksgiving party supplies and decorations can be things from the garden or the farmers market: corn stalks, sun flower bouquets, hay bails, varieties of squash and gourds, and a nice collection of colored leaves. Themes like the first Thanksgiving Dinner (including Pilgrims and Native Americans), Abundant Crops (cornucopias and scarecrows), Turkeys, and football are great ideas. I actually like the pilgrims theme for the kids.

 

Another tip: Use your leftover Halloween pumpkins in your Thanksgiving decorations. Bring a Thanksgiving scene to life on the front of your pumpkin by using paint with stamps or stencils. Cut a hole out of the top of the pumpkin and use it as a vase to hold gold or orange mums or carnations or daisies.
