For sometime now, I have wanted to do something weekly. We have weekly up-dates on Baby Thelma Lou, weekly stories about sailing. I look forward to these post and enjoy them very much. Not to be out done by fellow bloggers here goes my weekly broadcast. I am not sure how long this will run but I will give it a try.

Now if you like your neighbor's you can follow the above suggestions. But, if they are an pain in the butt you can substitute the "Don't" for "Do". Hope the above tips help with your wonderful week-end ahead.

PS. I need to select a mascot for this blog. I will feature several in the next few weeks. Let me know weekly how you like the mascot. I really like this one and if he shows up to work let me know. Pam, this one is for you. On second thought, I think this one will do. What do you think? We need to name "Mascot" or he can just be "Mascot".

Warning: No Photoshop skills were used to posts this blog. How could I make this guy better. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
