Retiring to Florida

Guest post written by Mikel Trevino

I never thought I would live in a beach town in Florida. I never wanted to. Florida is one of those states that I love to visit because I love to watch the ocean swell and fall, walk and run on the beach, feel the warm sea breezes, listen to the waves lap on the shore, and absorb the sun. I have always thought living there would cause me to take for granted those fabulous feelings I get when we vacation there. And, I know that sand would become a part of life – in my car and house all the time. So when my husband suggested we move to St. Petersburg, I was a little shocked. We love that city! Our daughter lives there and we visit a lot. She was excited when I told her we were coming to look at homes. I asked her aboutTVByDirectwhen we were discussing moving preparations. Some things I do not want to change! I am sure I will become use to the sand and will love looking at the beautiful water every day!

Retiring

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

When my parents decided to retire in Florida, I thought they had lost their minds. They had always lived in New York, and I thought they wanted to live there forever. We had never discussed them moving to Florida, so it just wasn’t on my radar. I was sad that they wouldn’t be near me anymore, and my sister and I knew the move would mean a lot of work for us. Our parents haven’t moved in forever, so they had no idea how to organize everything. They knew the general area they wanted to live in, but other than that they were clueless. They decided to keep their apartment in New York and buy a condo in Winter Park. Once that was all taken care of, we were relieved. My sister and I insisted they get clear wireless internet winter park so that we could video chat at least once a week. We taught them how to use the computer before they left, and then they were on their way. I can’t wait to go and visit them in the warm weather this winter!

Mary's Best

I appreciate the guest post, Emerson Moses

My sister has always been the more responsible one but ever since she picked up and moved to New York a few years back everyone’s been asking me if she lost her mind. I don’t really know what to tell them because she didn’t listen to me when I tried to talk her out of it but to be honest, I was a little jealous of her get up and go attitude and didn’t think it was that bad. Now she’s back home and all anyone ever wants to talk about anymore is what she did and where she’s been and I’m kind of sick of it! She asked me to help her with tvbydirect in Wayneseboro and it turned into a big fight about how I never do anything for her but to be honest, I’m just kind of tired of everything being about Mary all the time…and I told her so! We haven’t spoken since but I’m sure it will all blow over soon since we really can’t stand to be mad at each other for long.

DiY Duvet Cover for My Guest Bedroom

Guest post written by Alex Richardson

Making over my bedroom is so much trouble that a lot of the time when I get the inkling to do that I just redecorate my guest bedroom. It's just so much easier that way. Then even if what I do is kind of crazy or I decided that I don't like it after all, I just have to avoid the guest bedroom, which is pretty easy.

I was in the mood to do that again so I went online to come up with some fun ways to redecorate the guest bedroom. I have a duvet for it, so normally I just buy a new duvet cover. But I thought that I'd do one better this time and make one. I've never made one before, so I went online to find some good and easy directions on how to do that. While I was searching for some help with that, I came across the website ClearWireWimax4g.com and after I looked through it a little bit, I decided to switch over my internet service to the provider.

I'm hard at work on my DIY duvet cover. I cut it all out for it and that was probably teh hardest part. Now it's just sewing time. But I'm taking my time on the sewing machine for it.
