by Leave a Comment

Do you like to invite family and friends over at home for an intimate gathering? If you do and if you have a backyard oasis pool, keep on reading and learn from some of the tips that we will be sharing below. We’ll let you know how to decorate the pool to make the yard more appealing and the pool more inviting for your guests. More often than not, you do not have to spend a fortune to make the pool look better!

#1 Light It Up

If you expect the pool party to last until late at night or if it is happening in the evening, do not forget to light the pool. Installing the best LED pool light will help to make the space more attractive. These lights can come in different forms. For decorative purposes, it would be best to use floating lights as they do not require a complicated installation, yet they can do a lot to up the aesthetics of the pool. The lights can also have changing colors to make them command more attention from your guests.

#2 Add Pool Floats

Another sure-fire way to decorate the pool is to add floats. For sure, they will add character to the space and will make it Instagram-worthy. Both kids and adults will love the addition of floats. It will not only be good for playtime but will also make your guests line up to take photos in the pool. Whether it is a giant swan or an inflatable doughnut, there are many designs that are available to add a wow factor to your swimming pool.

#3 Put a Slide

This is especially true if you are preparing for a pool party for kids. The best way to give them a fun time is to have a slide. Meanwhile, make sure that the slide is stable and safe. Take note of the age and weight of the potential users and see to it that the slide will be able to handle them. Aside from a slide, adding a pool ladder will also be great to make it safer, especially if you have an above ground pool.

#4 Throw Some Balloons

For a cheap way to decorate the swimming pool, you can never go wrong with balloons. It is a simple way to make the pool look more appealing. Balloons can also add a splash of color to make the party livelier. They can be cuter and cheaper compared to pool floats. To make sure that the balloon will stay in the pool, fill it up with water but do not overdo it as it can be too heavy. Use balloons of different sizes and colors. The balloons can also be used for pool games, not just as décor.

#5 Install a Pergola

Provide a shade from the heat of the sun by installing a solar pool heater. There are pergolas that are permanent and expensive, while there are also some that are temporary and easy on the wallet. A giant colored umbrella is what most people will traditionally choose. If you want to be different, you can choose to build your own. You can install a lightweight fabric as shade for the pool area tied on a post. Do not be one of those people who plan a boring pool party! Learn how to decorate the swimming pool using the tips above and be at the envy of your guests! You are sure to gain a reputation as the best host within your circle!

Just a thought we have to learn how to be decent and in order

Just a thought we have to learn how to be decent and in order. Life is balance yes even when you are a Christian. Jesus didn't say that he came to give us life and that more abundantly for nothing. In the wake of my God son's untimely death due to a long illiness I'm more motivated to live my life to the fullest life is so short. Life is for the living and I'm going to live just because you are a Christian doesn't mean your life stops. The devil is a LIE. Quite contrary it has just begun. You can still laugh, have fun, learn new things, go different places even being saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. You are who God says you are REDEEMED, MORE Than A CONQUEROR, AN OVERCOMER, A SON OF GOD, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. Im SAVED by GRACE NOT works lest ANY man shall boast. We have to remember OUR righteousness is of filthy rags. Its not about "works" its about your salvation in Jesus Christ. Be careful not to be so "heavenly minded you're no earthly good." You will have people forming cults and stop having children, working, or living waiting on God to come back Jesus said occupy till I come. He said all those things that are going on now as it was in Noah to highlight the wrong true enough but also to show you to continue to live. Don't be controlled by religion, traditionalism, they are quite different from a true relationship with God look at Mary and Martha one was complaining about the other not doing what she thought she should've been doing to serve God but I like what Jesus did he put the accuser in their place and told her "she is doing what is needful" in other words "stay in YOUR lane and mind YOUR business" Lord knows worrying about self is a job in itself. Pray for me, give me the Truth in love not judgment and with intent to control my life but just live by example and love me right where I am. Let me work out my OWN soul salvation with fear and trembling and you work yours out the same. " See that your calling and election is sure and take heed lest he fall"

We are still trying to figure out how to get the infection out of Matt’s head

by Leave a Comment

11 weeks later....We are still trying to figure out how to get the infection out of Matt's head. Gentamicin was added to our regiment this week. Hoping that it helps. Tonight I realized that there are many of you that wonder what happened with Matt and how did he get MRSA that has caused all of this. Well....no one will ever really know. They...the specialists, can only surmise that the MRSA somehow entered Matt's bloodstream through picking at his face and creating an opening or from touching his eyes, removing his contacts and putting them back in...and these are just the thoughts. MRSA enters your system and generally there is a pocket or what they call a source area that they can get to. When they do, they can drain it, remove it surgically and in extreme cases, they have to amputate limbs. In Matt's case, the MRSA sourced behind his left eye. Yes, it is still there, no they will not drain it...very risky, no they will not go in through the skull to remove it...again very risky...so we wait. Yes, MRSA caused all of the infections that raged through him in ICU. The bacteria attacks and will attach to your heart, lungs, etc...His did. He is extremely lucky to be alive, if we have heard it once, we have heard it about 100 plus times and continue to hear it from every new doctor brought onto the team. Clearly he has more to do on this earth. We do spend a great deal of our week in with specialists as they try to figure out how to get at the new infection and at the same time continue to watch and get at the abscess/clotting in his cavernous sinus. They have assembled a very talented TEAM of Dr.'s and all of them have been working together to come up with a plan of action for each week. Although I would like it if there was just an easy answer or a pill (and lord knows we have a bin full of them) or IV that would solve this, I know that they are committed to his care and are trying to do no further harm. As my friend reminded me earlier...."this is a marathon not a sprint". I will try to remember that each time I hear them say that we have to watch and wait. Those of you who know me, I am not a watch and wait kinda girl. I like to solve things and move on...but as my Gran used to tell me, "pray for Patience, my dear"...I am trying....I just wish it would hurry up..lol. As for Matt, he is okay. He is trying to get out of the house and visit with people...although I think he is learning that he needs some baby steps also. 2 hours out of the house with friends tends to be 8-12 hours of sleeping and recovering. Picking my battles there!!!! Very thankful he is alive and grateful for all of the love and support that has been shown to us. Keep the prayers coming he still has a long road ahead.

Today, I will do a comparison about two drill presses that have been widely known for knife making. Whenever you buy a drill press, you need to consider whether it will be appropriate enough to carry out a particular task and scrutinizing its speed, weight, chuck and affordability is in your best interests. After going through all customer reviews, these both have been much praised and I decided to pan out on these two.

Ryobi DP103L

This drill press with a 10 in tabletop has the Ryobi structures such as a ¼ hp induction motor that offers 5 different settings of speed ranging from 620 to 3100 no-load RPM that does not hinder functioning numerous drilling processes. The drill bit slopes to a stated level whereas the worktable spins 360 degrees and slants up to 45 degrees and all this is done by a depth stop. It comes with a LED light that saves users from working in a dark environment and outfits an exact line laser arrangement system to accurately perform drilling exercises with each rotation of the feed handle.

RIDGID R1500

drillpress

The new 15 in. drill press is presented by RIDGID. It houses all the faultless business suitable features and would be a great addition in any shop.

Product Features

  • Advanced 3/4 HP motor
  • All metal keyless chuck for rapid and stress- blade alterations

This holds the award as being the topper because I didn’t hear any grumbles regarding the motor and the chuck. Everything works smoothly with this and it has the knack of performing much higher-end tasks than the Ryobi DP103L.

Syratech’s Holiday Workshop now separate unit

by Leave a Comment

Syratech's decision to spin off its Holiday Workshop Div. from International Silver was based on the division tremendous growth in sales over the last four years. Holiday Workshop produces Christmas and Halloween tabletop merchandise that is marketed through department and specialty stores and catalogs. Although retailers are focused on Holiday Workshop's 1994 collection, the company introduced its 1995 collection. Holiday Workshop has a showroom at 200 Fifth Avenue in New York City and will show its products at the Feb 1995 Toy Fair.   Although a new member has joined the Syratech family of home furnishings companies--Holiday Workshop--the division was spun off from the existing International Silver and was previously called International Christmas.   Holiday Workshop was growing too fast for the existing sales force to handle them, said Linda Feldman, product development director of Holiday Workshop, on Syratech's decision to spin off the business.   "International Silver first entered the Christmas business in a small way nearly four years ago," said Feldman. "Today, 80 percent of the line is designed by us and tooled by us overseas."   The Holiday Workshop collection, which includes Christmas-and Halloween-related merchandise, is geared toward department and specialty stores and catalogs, although some of the lower-priced items will find a home in the mass merchant channel, Feldman added.   While retailers' attention is currently focused on Christmas 1994, Holiday Workshop recently introduced its 1995 line. For next season, the company has created collections that feature brighter colors and angels.   Highlights of the 1995 line include Figments of Folklore, featuring figurines and houses done in resin that is textured for a higher perceived value, Feldman said. The Christmas Fantasy resin series also derives its texture from molding. The whimsical line features messages and contains figurines, stocking holders, water globes, molded candles and votives. The Snowlar Bears resin collection, which takes its cue from the popularity of the Coca-Cola polar bears, includes votives, stocking holders, resin pieces, plush figures and a candy bowl.   A full wood collection has also been introduced. It includes figurines, a block set, wall decor, a letter train set and plaques. Again, relief work adds to the texture of the line, Feldman said.   The Christmas Follies line features a number of media. The line includes nutcrackers, crates, play sets, plush, stocking holders, ornaments, collectible resin pieces, water globes, molded candles, ornament photo frames, papier-mache and stockings.   The Heavenly Hannah collection taps into the popularity of angels. The line features wood and resin figurines and plaques, plush and votives.   A full assortment of plush has been introduced, including Santa with whimsical hats, a toy soldier grouping and a Western-style Santa line.   Tea light votives of resin are also available, set in elaborate scenes, including a village and window Christmas scene. Musical carousels, 20 in all, will be sold at key price points in addition to light-up signs.   Two designers have created mixed media Santa collectibles for Holiday Workshop. The highly decorated pieces retail between $75 and $100.   "The category is expected to grow--I think the whole category will go crazy," said Feldman.   Mixed media angles are also available in 50 SKUs, which include tree top and stand-up table pieces.   Santa and angels with fleece material and porcelain faces make up another collection of mixed-media collectibles. Lastly, Santa, angels and snowmen appear in a collection of "recycled, rag-type" collectibles.   New Halloween merchandise has also been introduced for 1995. Holiday Workshop has focused on two collections: Kookie Spookies, a whimsical line which includes plaques, molded candles, plush, votives, tea lights, wooden pieces and block sets; and Halloween Hallow, a plush line in different materials. Holiday Workshop has opened permanent showroom at 200 Fifth Avenue in New York. The firm will take part in the Toy Fair in February, and a portion of the full line will be displayed in the Syratech showroom during the New York Tabletop market.
