Well as usual not to much to report around town.  Myself just doing some clean ups around the old house and wife is busy with Christmas on her mind.  I also have been busy working on our fifth book which will be coming out in the spring of 2013.  That will be it for awhile once it is written as I want to work on a health book which folks have been asking for now for over five years.  So thinking I will get into that.  It will take me a year or so to finish I suspect.  Any ways folks, stay healthy, wash them hands after coming out of stores and places where lots of folks congregate.  Not using that Disinfectant soaps that make your body sick neither.  If you feel the need other than good old hand soap you can use vinegar.  It will kill all flu and cold viruses without hurting your body.  Enjoy your day.

Well it’s here my friends and there is tons of great deals out there. I saved over $265.00 on one item.  A few things I bought as I couldn’t pass up the deal LOL will put them away for future gifts.  Also in saying all this folks will stay in Canada and shop which is what we need.  Still two days left my friends.  Enjoy your day my friends.
