Funny road attractions

Don’t you just find those long drives such a bore, especially when you are traveling on your own and there is nothing but you and the long road that stretched ahead? You can try focusing on your driving and the long, winding road in front of you for thirty minutes or so, but after awhile, it will become such a drag, you would wish you were somewhere else instead. You can listen to the music on the radio to keep you preoccupied, but after some time, the station would start playing songs you rather not listen too and you had no choice but to turn it off. Then you search for something else to keep you entertained until you reach your destination in a couple of hours or so.

Thank heavens for funny bumper stickers! every car that went past you to have one on their bumpers and it was a cool and interesting way to pass the time away, looking at them one by one. Reading their funny messages and admiring the very creative illustration sure is one amusing way of killing time on the road. Long before you know it, you would have read about a few dozen funny jokes on bumper stickers and you are approaching the road that leads to where you are going.

Scouting movement

The kids are asking permission from me and hubby to participate in the school scouting movement. This is the first time that their school will convene a scouting activity as part of student co-curricular activities.

Hubby and I want our kids to enhance their socialization skills so that this new activity is a welcome development for the kids. The activity aims to develop leadership skills and brotherhood among them.

My daughter said the school plans to hold a camping activity, but there is no definite schedule and place yet as to where the camping will be held. I hope it’s not somewhere far (like forest area) where hunting tree stands are seen. I can’t bear the thought of allowing my kids to be on their own in a remote place just yet.

Looking for drawing table

I badly need a drawing table for my kids. It should also serve as their study table. They are using an old computer table at the moment, but it’s too small to accommodate their school books and other items while studying. My daughter needs a drawing table to avoid stooping down while doing her homework or sketching. The drawing table need not spacious to have a room for 5.1 speakers, but a space enough to hold extra books and stuff.
