NAME THAT PLANT AND VACATION TIME!

I've had my Granddaughter Tatyanna since last week, and then my daughter came and got her for the weekend for a party, and brought her back Monday, but this time I got two granddaughters.  They are such a help.  Look I even got my Bria helping out watering plants.  Isn't she a cutie?  Look above my first tomato of the year.  WOO HOO!

 

                                                    This is my aloe plant  I just started.

Mama Cactus and her babies.

  It's vacation time at the ol' homestead!  The hubby can't wait until we get on the road again!  We're leaving Saturday morning, so being as I do not have a laptop I cannot stay in touch unless the hotel we'll be staying at has a computer, so we'll have to see.  As you can see we're going to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia.  We'll be back August 1 because the hubby has jury duty on the 2nd.  Oh joy!  We will be staying at Busch Gardens for three days, and after that we'll be at Kings Dominion, which is about an hour and a half away from Busch Gardens, and we'll be staying there for two days.  So, just a little note for all my readers that I won't be around next week.

MUSIC MONDAY - LOVE IT!

It's Music Monday one of my favorite Meme's to do.....

Yes, Music Monday! and today's theme is July 26- A song you would sing at Karaoke.  Personally, I'm a Stevie Nicks fan or Linda Rhonstadt.  So, let me think!

Last Music Monday I gave you an extra song with a subliminal message just because I happen to think of the song that I just happened to like.  It was a flook.  I got so many comments on it that I decided to do it again on purpose & you figure out the subliminal message & tell me if you get it.  COME ON IT'S SO TOTALLY EASY! SOUND LIKE FUN?  Here we go!

PUR WATER FILTRATION PITCHER/FLAVORED OPTIONS GIVE-AWAY!

SORRY THIS GIVE AWAY IS "CLOSED"!  WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY 8.09!

HELLO!  As you can see I have a little helper today!  This is my granddaughter, Tatyanna, who is staying with me for a few days!  We just got my new PUR WATER FILTRATION PITCHER, and it's unflavored or flavored options feature.  So instead of just cold plain water my Tatyanna gets to have Raspberry Flavored water today!  It's quite simple.  Let  us show you. 

First you have to put the filter in the pitcher, so Tatyanna is getting it ready.  Oh, also Tatyanna is only 11 years old, and she's showing ME how it works, I'm just taking the pictures.

"Insert the filter, NaNee, and then we'll go fill it with tap water, and let the filter do it's job".  It filters up to 40 gallons of water (1-2 months). 

  We even have a PUR Faucet Filter too!  I get up to 100 gallons of clean, great tasting water with just one click, and my coffee is so good!

Okay, now we're filling up the Pitcher.  It holds 7/8 glasses of water.  Also, it has a space saving design.  It fits quite nicely in my refrigerator door.

Plop, plop, drip, drip oh what a relief it is!  (Oh boy, bet you don't remember what commercial that one was from! lol).  Looks like this little girl can hardly wait.  "Now Tatyanna, don't forget to set the filter life indicator".  The indicator light changes from green (working) to yellow (almost time), to red (woo-hoo change that little bugger & toss it away).

Okay, time to insert our flavored cartridge.  It fits easily into the pitcher lid.  All you have to do is push the button to add the sweet raspberry flavor (concentrated),  The more you push, the more flavor you add to  your glass.  Your glass is the only thing that gets flavored.  The pitcher remains filtered fresh water.

So, let's all thank our little model here!  Uh -- Tatyanna! -- Tatyanna?   Hmm, guess she's a little busy now, and looks a little thirsty too!  Her favorite is the Raspberry.  I like the lemon! mmm Thanks for the help, Sweetie!  I'll take it from here. 

This is truly a Great Value.  Flavored Water for as little as $0.07 per glass just with a push of a button!

PUR^® Flavor Options™

 

  Totally not messy!  Even the kids can do it all by themselves, and it can be made by the glass with just one little squirt.  So, would you like to own one?   You can buy one by visiting  http://www.purwater.com/pur-products/flavor-options/ .  It comes in raspberry, grape, strawberry and lemon.   All PUR Products can be purchased at  www.purwater.com also.

STARTING TO HINT FOR THAT LAPTOP AGAIN!

Finding savings on laptops isn't all that difficult if you just know where to look.  So, what did I do?  I just Googled "S-A-V-I-N-G-S!  That sure didn't take a rocket scientist now did it?  Ah, Savings.com has all the savings I need.  Oh boy, think I'm going to keep this link around for a long time.  It has different savings for everything.  This Savings.com is amazing.   What a variety. For example, HP coupons,  (HP is what I have for a desk computer).  There are so many different savings from $10 off/free shipping, to the more money you spend the more money you save.  There's savings for every product all you have to do is look around.  The site is huge, and it's not that complicated at all.

I've been checking the different sites for deals such as Dell Coupons or HP coupons etc., and once I print out ads or actually look for them in the paper I can lay them around for the hubby to find.  Think he'll get the hint?
Can't believe I found this website.  Savings.com  every store you can think of almost.  Fantastic!
