Summer Lovin....

     Summer, 2014 Port Aransas Trip

                               

Who doesn't love the summer time?  Even with the  seaweed in the sand and the surf,  I spent a glorious vacation and last trip to the beach in Port Aransas, TX with my beloved 10yr 4 mo. old dog Panchito ( The black Pitbull in the photo above), he passed away a short time later of Cancer.  I have felt his loss severely and will never have another just like him.  I decided to commemorate his life and share a few more photos of him, He was a GREAT dog, a breed with a bad rap.  He will painfully be missed but never forgotten.  R.I.P Panchito 3/31/2004- 06/20/2014.

Some Rewards Programs are Worth it!

   I recently have been enjoying the gifts from my thrifty labor.  Recently, the rewards programs have been rewarding me quite handsomely!  The main thing you need is to sign up for a program before you buy something, then you need patience and SHOPPING!  I only sign up for rewards programs if I am already a customer.  This method makes it easier to actually accumulate rewards.  One of my favorites is Staples and Office Depot Rewards.  You receive rewards for recycling ink cartridges and for purchasing  certain items.  Some other favorites would be My Points.com, Walgreens,  Southwest Airlines, and  Marriott Hotel Rewards, Best Western, Petsmart. There are many more that I may not list here but the others at this point have not lived up to their rewards just yet.

Recent Rewards:  Fuji Digital Camera , Office Depot
