My New Favorite Tee Shirts- Cheap and Good Quality!

The Quest For Comfort: Discovering The Perfect Soft Material Inexpensive Tee Shirt on Amazon

As someone who values both comfort and affordability in clothing, stumbling upon the perfect soft material, inexpensive tee shirt was nothing short of a revelation! And where did I find this gem? None other than the vast treasure trove of options on Amazon.com. Let me take you on a journey through my quest for the ideal tee and how this discovery has transformed my summer wardrobe.

In the summer, I live in tee shirts and shorts. Definitely nothing expensive that I have to worry about getting dirty while hiking or kayaking. In the winter, I wear those tee shirts under a pullover sweatshirt with sweatpants or jeans. Retirement life is great and I don't miss wearing more dressy clothes when I was working!

I prefer soft, mostly cotton tee shirts that are longer, not see-through and don't restrict my shoulder movement. I need shirts with short sleeves.  I had some shirts by Reebok that fit this need, but this particular style was discontinued a few years ago. I have been searching for a replacement since then!

Did Automatic Car Wash Shiny Tire Spray Ruin My Toyota Sienna's Brake Rotors?

 In the hustle and bustle of modern life, automatic car washes have become a convenient solution for keeping our vehicles clean and sparkling. However, beneath the gleaming appearance lies a potential problem that many drivers overlook - the shiny tire spray. While this product promises to enhance the appearance of your tires, it can inadvertently wreak havoc on your vehicle's brake rotors, leading to costly repairs.

Unlocking Savings: How to Save Money on McAfee Antivirus Subscription

Unlocking Savings: How to Save Money on  your McAfee Antivirus Subscription 

In today's digital age, protecting your devices from cyber threats is important. McAfee Antivirus has been a trusted name in cybersecurity for years in my household, protecting against malware, viruses and other online hazards. However, subscribing to antivirus software can sometimes feel like a financial burden, especially with auto-renewal subscriptions. 

I recently received an email from McAfee that my subscription would auto-renew in 30 days for 149.99 for a one year renewal. The sticker shock set in and I started to look for alternatives! In the end, I was able to get McAfee antivirus for a small fraction of this price. 

Here's how to do it:

Get Free Books, Audiobooks And Magazines Using the Libby App!

 How to get books, audiobooks and magazines for free using the Libby App!

I have always loved to read.  When I was in early elementary school, I read anything I could find about horses.  ( I had an obsession for horses from a very early age...) My mother would take me to the library occasionally, particularly in the summer so she wouldn't hear that I was bored. I would borrow several books at a time.

  As a child, my grandmother lived in the house next to me, and I was welcome to visit whenever I wanted. After conversing with my grandmother, I would wander off and be found reading her stashes of books and magazines. Reader's Digest was my favorite!  

When my children were small, we would visit our local library frequently to have fresh stories to read at bedtime. There were hundreds, if not thousands of books to choose from.  

Enter the age of electronics.  I would find free kindle books, or find deals to get Kindle Unlimited for free for a few months. I would find some enjoyable books to read on Kindle, but there wasn't a very large variety.  Going to the library wasn't very convenient for me.

This past February, I discovered the Libby App!  This app gives you access to your local library system's books and magazines to read on your device for FREE!

Cheap Trips Using Points - Assateague Island Wild Ponies Visit!

 

What to do for spring break?

Spring break was coming, and we had no plans. The weather forecast in Western New York State was warmer, as in 50 something degree temps, but with high odds for rain most days. Where could I go, along with my one remaining school-age son, that was within a day’s drive, but with better weather?

A horse-crazy kid's childhood dream

As a horse-crazy child, I always dreamed of visiting Assateague and Chincoteague Islands in Maryland and Virginia after reading the series Misty of Chincoteague, by Marguerite Henry. The stories are about the wild ponies that live on Assateague Island. Every year the ponies are rounded up, swam across the channel to Chincoteague Island, checked over, and the youngest horses are sold at auction to keep the herd from over-populating the island. After the auction, the remaining wild horses are returned to Assateague Island for another year.
