And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
Chloe getting ready for the Seafest Parade last week. She even brought her chair out to sit .. and watch the parade. The good thing about small towns.. you get to see the parade really closed up. In all my years in Singapore, I’ve never gone for the National Day Parade.. nor watch the parade go by.. neither did i go see the fireworks at the Esplanade..! The only time i saw it .. was when I had guests staying at the Westin Hotel.
We could use some bar stools for our breakfast counter, since the one we have is not nearly as good now. But this time, I want to make sure that we get the stationary ones because kids love to jump on our swivel bar stools.. and swing around and around.. for no particular reason.
There are lots to choose from.. but I think I’m pretty set on the “Go Stationary Bar Stool”… they looked pretty cool.. and not your ordinary looking stools. And then I saw the Trica Daisy Swivel Stool and I’m sold.. but my spouse didn’t think so.. he said.. it was too girly.. hahahah!! So it’s “Go Stationary Bar Stool” it is for us.

These are what Su Lee made for the International Food Tasting a last Friday. It was pretty good.. and she sells them for $10.00 for 20. It’s ex.. but PB loves them.. so we do have it quite often.
Ironing Boards is a must in every household, tell me which household doesn’t own at least one ..?? And I’ve always liked the ones in the hotel.. because they are the fold-away types. And in this age and time, when one’s home isn’t that huge, a fold-away ironing board is very convenient and useful.
Fold-away ironing boards are extremely stable and is mounted on the wall, wherever you want it to be and at a convenient height to you. It takes up only very minimal space but unfolds into a full length ironing board when you need it. It folds away in seconds, saving you space when not in use. And they are really durable as they are made of high quality steel and easy to install D-I-Y installation. They even throw in a padded cloth ironing board cover and is able to rotate at 180 degree for your ironing convenience.
For your child who is going to the university and stay in the dorm or even sharing apartment with some friends, the fold away ironing board is a must as it is unobstructive and convenient, no carrying a huge iron board.. and trying to hide it in some closet space. What’s more it is build even for those physically challenged folks out there and has been specially designed so that it can be painted to match any décor.

A few days ago, i read on the local news that A&W was robbed at 10pm .. !! armed robbery.. and suspect fled with unknown amount of cash. And A&W is just a 3 mins ride away from us.
This morning.. on CJLS news..
“Four people were arrested after police received a report of a break and enter in progress in Hebron yesterday afternoon. Officers from the Yarmouth rural and town detachments along with a police dog responded. Police claim the four suspects were stealing copper wire from the unoccupied residence. Three youths, a male and two females and an adult male were arrested without incident. RCMP have identified the adult as 20 year old Nicholas Franklyn Surette of Hebron. The youths ages 14,15 and 16 cannot be named. The suspects are scheduled to appear in Yarmouth Provincial court in September.”
Wonderful town eh.. ??? And since they are only gonna be charged in September.. you can be sure that they are already out on the streets.. and causing more mischief. Just wonderful..!!!
I think the vending machine business is a definitely a profitable business. My previous landlord is into this business.. and he provides the town.. with all sorts.. from drinks to snacks.. to gumball machines. Vending machines that belongs to him is in the schools, in the hospital.. in the mall.. and you know what.. he makes so much money.. yet he is so humble. And as far as I know.. he only has one person working for him. The fellow that goes around .. topping up drinks.. candies.. and whatever that is low.
If you are looking to start a business, you should consider multivend, it is a vending machine that vends both bottles and cans and it is very common here.

On Monday, while getting my coffee, i noticed the glass window at Tim Hortons building broken into pieces..! Once again.. vandalism in this small town.. which isn’t uncommon at all.. even on Main Street. These vandals.. are never caught.. nor made to pay for what they damage.. ! building owners.. or business owners like us.. have to replace these broken windows on our own…. and it suxs..!! because i assure you .. it ain’t cheap.
So why isn’t the cops doing anything..?? I think their mentality is .. “ohhh..!! no one got hurt..!! so it’s at the lowest priorities.. just like when things get stolen at our store. It is quite sad..!! ppl get away with stuff here..! and they wonder why the youth are getting outta hand.
The Goldens are from Wisconsin, USA and they have a summer house here in St Bernard.. about an hour drive to where I am in town. And I’ve known them for a good 7 yrs.. !!! Yup.. that’s how long we’ve known each other… 😉
Although, we never have any luck with our employees/workers.. i’m glad to say.. that our customer/s .. are great.. and they turn into long-time friends.
This is Max and her mother .. Sam. Max will be going to film school in Georgia .. next year.. and Sam.. teaches in a University. And every year when they do come down for a holiday.. they try very hard to visit us. Last year we missed them.. but this year.. since we are in the store for long hours.. it was good to see them. Oh by the way, Max has a brother .. Will but he didn’t come this year.. and stayed in Wisconsin for the summer.
I have to say these looked absolutely delicious right..?? And no again..!! i didn’t taste it..!! what a waste..!! blame PB again lah..!! of course..!! I think it is some sort of bread.. with plum sauce in it. Oh .. this is from the food tasting series I am doing .. in conjunction with Seafest that we celebrated last week.
For anyone who is adventurous and ready for hard work and who is a entrepreneur, vendstar may be able to help you make your dream a reality. Afterall, the vending machine franchise offers a chance of being your own boss and the freedom to do things your way.. and give you financial security.
With this franchise, you do not need to pay thousands of dollars for starting out small and slowly expanding at your own pace. No need to pay employees to manage the vending machine.. because it is pretty much a stand alone.. and does it own thing automatically. No advertising cost involved.. because it’s such a simple concept .. that people use those vending machines without even thinking about it.
