Funeral Plans

I've never been to buy a funeral plan...

and I hope I won't have to for a long time to come. But sadly, many of us find this a necessity at some time or another. And since it is something that must be done, it makes sense to do it in an orderly and effective method. There are companies whose only job is to help you set up your funeral plans. This is a helpful idea that is meant to help you achieve what you could not do on your own in your time of need.

nursing home carnival

I had never been to a nursing home carnival.

Until last Sunday. The local nursing home has hosted a Halloween carnival for the community for several years, but I had never attended. It is a well supported event and great for the community and residents alike. There was a fire truck, a moon walk, carnival games, popcorn, nachos and snow cones, all for free. And of course many of the residents were outside in costume handing out candy to the young Trick or Treaters. This brought joy to young and old alike!

medical device depot

I've never been to Medical Device Depot.

While I have no need of medical devices, it is always good to know that there are places where these devices can be purchased. It is something I really never actually thought about, but it is important that clinics and hospitals be equipped with the proper supplies. And so when time comes to furnish medical equipment like bovie electrosurgical generators, ambulatory BP monitors, centrifuges, defibrillators and the many other supplies that patients can take for granted, it's good to know where to go!

Our Town

I've never been to see Our Town.

Ever since I read the script I've wanted to see this enduring classic. I really like how the script calls for the set to be done and how the stage manager narrates the show. I am on my way now out the door to see a local production. I hope it doesn't disappoint!

Hawaii

I've never been to Hawaii.

Hawaii sounds like such a beautiful, fun place to visit. I have always dreamt of laying on the beaches watching the beautiful sunset in Hawaii. But, of course, it costs just a little too much than I can afford. I have always wondered what Hawaii weather is like. I'm sure it must be very hot there. But, there is a good solution to the heat. Use a reliable fan, like the Hunter ceiling fans, and you can stay nice and cool on your vacation!

hosted short term mission trip

I've never been on a hosted short term mission trip.

While I have been on several mission trips, I've never been part of a team that was hosted/led by an outside group. There are several who support just such trips from college aged teams to multi-generational family groups. I think this would be a good way to go, as the housing and meal arrangements are all lined out ahead of time and the group can focus on the mission work to be done.

iPad

I've never been to purchase an iPad.

But we are considering getting one for our son for his high school graduation next summer. As soon as the iPad came out, that is what I wanted to do. My husband likes the idea, but also liked the idea of waiting till the Pad had been out at least a year. He says that is a better time to buy them, rather than when they are first released. We will also have to be sure to check into getting an ipad warranty to go along with the purchase. We want to make sure everything works just right with it when our son goes to college.
