glass tiles

I've never been to buy glass tiles.

We have talked before about getting our shower redone. I had never considered using glass tile before. I saw some on a website. The glass tiles sure are pretty and would certainly enhance our bath. However, at this point in time, with two teens and one starting to think about college, I think bathroom remodeling is on hold. Maybe one of these days....

That I'd like to see.

food pantry

I've never been to the local food pantry.

They are looking for volunteers tomorrow from noon to four sorting food. I think this is a good and easy activity for families. It's a great way to help the community and is something we can all do together. I think even my son with his broken collar bone can help sorting out the products.

Shell station in Flatonia

I had never been to the Shell station in Flatonia.

But I have been twice now in 24 hours. I met my husband there to pick up my son when I learned he had broken his collar bone at camp. I brought him home to see the doctor and try to get in to an orthopedic. We could not get in til next week so he was cleared to go back to camp. At which time I met my husband at the gas station again for the exchange. Thankfully there will be no midnight runs to the middle of nowhere tonight!

asbestos

I've never been around asbestos.

Thankfully! This substance, which used to be commonly used, is a cancer causing agent. The cancer, known as mesothelioma, affects mostly older white males. The rate of incidence has been declining since the 1990s and the treatment options are improving.

beach clean up

I've never been to a beach clean up.

This Saturday at Menard Park in Galveston, there will be a beach clean up day from 9am til noon. Set up starts at 8:30. Cleaning begins at 9. Afterward there will be live music, a barbecue, pictures and cool surf prizes. There will also be a paddle out. Those without surf boards can rent one at Ohana's. The party lasts til 2pm. If my kids were here I would love to go. Maybe they will have beach clean up parties again!

cross country moving

I've never been on a cross country moving venture.

I just read through the latest Ikea ad. It looks like they are having a nice summer sale for folks who are moving. On the last page, I came across a special 15% off deal. It is for folks in our area who had nothing better to do while "in the dark" after hurricane Ike. For anyone bringing in their baby's birth certificate dated June 1-July 4, 2009, they will receive an additional 15% off their entire purchase!

surf camp

I've never been to surf camp.

This summer in Galveston, Ohana is presenting two and three day surf camps for kids! The camps are either Saturday and Sunday or Tuesday through Thursday. Kids will learn surfing skills and have a great time in the Gulf. What a fun way to spend the summer! And a great way to learn a new hobby!
