What I learned from Watching Kids at Play

I spent last weekend at the beach (also known as the “shore” to some from other regions) in South Carolina. It was a wonderful weekend and the weather was perfect. The resort I was staying at had lots of children and watching them couldn’t help but make you happy.

When kids are happy they sing to you, they sing to their friends, they sing to anyone that will listen, even the squirrels and birds were receiving melodies from the kids. Another thing that made me smile were all…

We quickly figured out where the heating element was located and on Friday I began my journey to find the parts I needed.

After some research I found two shops that advertised they carried the part I thought I needed and looked for the one that was near our house and made the call. The phone was answered… Read More
