The “Manetamer”
(Ponytail Holder for men but loved by everyone)

So here I am thinking what to write about this week; I thought I should write about something and someone dear to my heart. The “Manetamer” and its inventor; My brother, Marc Keesy. Best way to describe it is to see it by going to”Google” or “Bing” Search “Manetamer ponytail holder for men but loved by everyone” This will bring you to his facebook page. It’s very cool and nothing on the market is like it. I see athletes, stars, singer, business men all wearing rubber bands and women’s hair holders, this would be so great for anyone that wants to hold on to the hair they have because it wraps around the hair, not pulls it out! As Marc says: “using anything else is like wearing your sister dress” He has several commercial on His Facebook, I even have a spot sporting the “Little Willies” on the ends my braids. He’s already been featured on the BBC2′s “Dragon Den”. Like the “Shark Tank” here in America. Well give it a look, whether you’re looking for an investment opportunity, a job or just want these awesome ponytail holders for men for yourself!
Cheers!

BTW; all my friends here at Dick Hannah Honda give it two thumbs up!

The Honda “Fuel Cell” Sport, is a future model/concept by Honda. The pictures alone say a lot about how different and futuristic this FC Sportreally is! It is also another step in Honda’s direction to make environmentally responsible vehicles while having a blast driving them.

Incredibly creative and fun to read!!! I love that the book is written from the dog’s perspective. Absolutely ingenious. I couldn’t stop laughing. If you love dogs, you will love this book.
This fun mystery introduces two memorable characters: Chet the Jet, the narrator is a lovable dog who failed K-9 school. The story is told from Chet’s point of view. Chet works cheap, (just feed him well), he doesn’t talk back, and is a loyal companion to Bernie.Bernie little, part owner of Little Detective Agency. He is divorced and strapped for money because of his alimony and child support debts. Bernie is hired to find a fifteen-year old girl who disappears, reappears and disappears again. When Madison disappears the second time Chet and Bernie are on the case and the antics begin. Chet knows were Madison is but he can’t speak so he can’t tell his owner, and since he doesn’t understand why they are looking for her, he often falls asleep at inappropriate times during the investigation. There is one touching part where Chet ends up in an animal shelter and learns more than he cares to about euthanasia.

The Chet and Bernie characters are memorable, they’ll make you laugh when you least expect it. If you like fun mysteries, and have a soft spot for lovable pooches (especially one with a nose for solving mysteries), Dog on It, is a fun story that is sure to please. I love this book and just got done reading his second book in this series.
Called Thereby Hangs a Tail.  It is just as good.
I am a huge dog lover, and I find myself looking at my own dogs wondering if there thinking the same as Chet did. Haha…who knows

This was the statement I was muttering to myself every night around 4pm. Seems as though I was constantly cycling through recipes, my mom’s old recipes and recipe clippings from magazines. I was in a cooking rut!. I got the tip to try a website RelishRelish!. Al I can say is WOW! My life at home instantly became easier. This wonderful recipe club gives me all new recipes once a week. All you do is click on the ones that look appealing and then create a custom menu for the week. Not only do you get a main dish and side dish , they also put a grocery list together for you, it really can’t be much easier. Since I have started this I have became a much better cook, stepping outside my box a bit to try new spices or new types of meat, or get this, my husband will actually eat a meatless dinner, that’s how good these recipes are. The cool thing about Relish Relish is they also will give you meal plans for holidays down to the desserts and drinks also they do freeze and eat latter, way handy for the summer.. come back from a trip and bake. Nice. I just can’t say enough good things about this I have been doing this for a year, now everyone in my family has enjoyed the meals including our picky teenager.. and my husband thinks he married Betty Crocker, that works for me  So check out this website if you enjoy cooking and providing your family with nice full healthy meals you will absolutely be hooked!

 This is the Wii game we played at my Mother’s 60th Birthday party. And let me tell you, if you love to dance and get a workout at the same time, this is the game for you. You can pop it into your Wii system and see how well you can dance. If your not a good dancer, but know how to laugh at yourself you will be rolling on the floor laughing by the time your done playing. It is also a great way to get up off your couch and burn some of those calories off, and have lots of fun doing it. With popular hits from many eras this will surely have you getting on your feet to test your dance skills and, or your ability to have fun and enjoy yourself. Play alone, if your not ready to show off your moves, or challenge friends and see who can get the beat and earn a score of excellent, for every move you are slightly off you get good, and for every missed beat you get an x. You can also play a game of red light green light, where you dance until you get a sign that lets you know to freeze. You loose points if you are still moving after that sign has come up. With over 30 songs there is a variety of music and styles to choose from. It’s fun for all ages. It was one of my mother’s presents but I went out and bought it the next day. I highly recommend this game!
