Ever year on the Fourth of July there is one event that is above and beyond all of the others held on this date, the Nathans Hot Dog eating contest is one that catches my attention every year and this year will be no different. I watch it on ESPN every year and I am amazed at the amount of hot dogs consumed every year. In no way do I consider myself a competitive eater but I might be willing to give the hot dog eating contest a try someday. Well on seconf thought if I eat more than two hot dogs I get gas so I better pass.

As Christmas Day gets closer and closer I am very worried that we will not have enough money to have as good a holiday as we are used to. We are used to eating a huge dinner and having nice gifts and this year it is going to be a little leaner than we are used to. The high price of gasoline and higher expenses this fall have made us close to bankrupt. I do not want to get any closer let us hope that 2009 gets off to a good start for us and we get back on the right track.

As Christmas Day gets closer day by day, my thoughts have turned to what toys I will be getting the Grand kids this year. My main problem is David my six year old computer genius and what high tech toys to get him this year. My thought is to get him either a PlayStation 3 or a Wii. He is not into the cheap toys and he loves his Play Station 2 that I gave him a couple of years ago. He plays it every moment his Mom will let him.

Gift Ideas are hard to come by for the other Grand Kids who I do not see as much as I see David, he spends most every weekend at our house and loves to play games on the computer and my Play Station 2. He does not like the kids games he loves the sports games that I have and that is what he wants for Christmas this year. I know this will be a great holiday for the whole family but I think it is very important for the little kids to have a great Christmas every year and I will do my best to make sure David has a Great Christmas.

Web sites with a good selection of great toys have become very important to us with each passing year. Long gone are the days of looking at the Sears catalog and wishing for your Christmas gift. I really do miss that old Wish Book and miss the simpler days well gone by.

Independence Day is one holiday I have always looked forward to. Since I was a child it was always fun to pop fireworks and watch the local parade, I had no idea what it meant to us as Americans. As I have grown older this holiday means more and more to me everyday. I think of the lives lost in protecting our country and I marvel at the bravery of our men and women who protect our great country. God Bless America.

On our summer vacation we are heading to Las Vegas, while we are there I am going to take advantage of the many wonderful golf courses they have to get in some golf. Las Vegas Golf Packages are available and I have found some that are right in my ball park.
