This is a fun and exciting time of year in the Louisville area. Almost everyone catches the Derby fever. There are so many different events for everyone to attend. A few of the many events include Thunder Over Louisville, the Pegasus Parade, the Balloon Glimmer, the Great Steamboat Race, the Oaks, and of course the Kentucky Derby.
Each year when I was teaching I recall planning many learning activities associated with the Derby. Each year we would schedule a trip to the Derby Museum for the week preceding the Derby. It was always the favorite field trip of students, parents, and teachers too. Not only was it beautiful with all the tulips in bloom, but also there was an exciting atmosphere. The students always loved the activities associated with the Derby and the visit to Churchill Downs was the culminating activity. To be able to watch the Derby with their parents on Derby Day and see the places they had visited was a fascinating experience for them.
Hope everyone enjoys the many fantastic Derby events!!!
How would you like to have a stick vac that is easy to use and the performance is fantastic? Yesterday I purchased a Hoover Platinum Linx Stick Vac and after one day, I am recommending it for others to try. This is the best price that I have found either online on in the stores.
I once owned a corded model and it always seemed that the cord was either too short or there was not a convenient outlet nearby. I most recently owned an Electrolux stick vac and initially I loved it. It didn’t seem that it was long before the suction began to fade. However, the Electrolux made me a lover of the cordless stick vac regardless.
Now I do realize that the suction of the Hoover Linx may not last as well. However, it does have a 6-year warranty so I thought it was worth the gamble. The battery is removable and can be replaced if that does occur and it is covered by the warranty. The Hoover Linx glides easily over the floor. It has a setting for the bare floor as well as a setting for the carpet. I was amazed at the dirt it picked up the first time I used it. It was also performed well and was easy to use on my throw rugs. The dirt cup is easy to empty and the filter is easily accessible as well as washable. I do not believe that you will be disappointed if you purchase the Hoover Linx.

Local Shopping Trips vs. Online Shopping
When you think of shopping, what most often comes to mind — maybe a leisurely day spent at the mall? or maybe a trip downtown filled with friends, or shopping, and lunch? We actually looked forward to these shopping experiences. What ever happened to those shopping trips that we once treasured? How could we let something that we all enjoyed so much disappear from our lives?
Our lives have become hectic and rushed in most everything we do, shopping included. We rush in and out of the stores in an attempt to make our purchases in the least amount of time as possible. We hesitate to make plans with our friends for lack of time or for fear of a conflict with our family activities. We have a very limited amount of time to care for our family and complete our family responsibilities let alone spend a leisurely day at the mall or local shops. We find that both parents in most families must work. Unfortunately the stay-at-home mom has almost become extinct. In addition to family responsibilities and work responsibilities, there are church, school, and other activities that require our precious time.
With the popularity of the internet, we discover that everything is moving in that direction. Most everyone sends and receives emails and uses the internet. Did you know that there are over 300 million users on Facebook and 100 million users were added in less than 9 months. There are over 200 million blogs. Our society has embraced the internet. We buy cars and even homes on the internet. Most people book their travel on the internet rather than visiting a travel agent. Most all kinds of insurance can now be purchased online. The list grows longer every day. Shopping is also moving to the internet. Shopping not only saves you time which is always lacking, but it also can save you money by earning cash back on your purchases. Many times you do not even have to pay shipping and handling and your purchases are delivered to your door. All of the above activities can take place while you are still in your pajamas leisurely drinking a cup of coffee.
The internet is here to stay. It is a part of a trend that will continue whether or not we are all on-board. I often wonder what will be next??? Are you on-board?
