I had 3 of my grandkids here overnight on Saturday. For dinner I made cheeseburgers and fries for dinner. The youngest one, Kody, saw a small jar on the counter that came out of the box of NASCAR burgers and asked what it was. It was a jar of seasoning and Kody said he didn’t want that on his burger. I told him ok and he left the kitchen. I proceeded to put the seasoning on all of the burgers. As they were eating and Kody was almost done with his burger I asked him how it was. He told me it was yummy. I then told him that it had the seasoning on it that he said he didn’t want. The look on his face was priceless. He did finish the cheeseburger… with a smile.

We all ate so much that night that all of us should have hopped on a treadmill to work it all off! We all had a great time and I was so happy to see them. I’ve really missed those little buggers.

Did you know that some companies keep strict tabs on their vehicles? Vehicles such as delivery trucks, taxi cabs and armored trucks sometimes have gps tracking devices in them which allows the vehicle owners to make sure deliveries are being made on time and cabs are where they are supposed to be.

They’re also sometimes used on wildlife to allow scientists to study its activities and migration patterns. Some cars are equipped with it too which allows the authorities to find the vehicle if stolen. GPS has many good uses.

Here are some things you should do before you leave for vacation.

1. get a trusted friend or family member to keep an eye on your house
2. if you have pets either take them with you or have them boarded at a friend, family member’s house or a kennel.
3. stop your newspaper delivery.
4. put a hold on mail delivery.
5. make sure your ademco alarm system is in good working order.
6. make sure all your doors and windows are locked when you leave.
7. put your lights on timers so it looks like someone is home.

If you do these things you should have one less thing to worry about while you’re away.
