The only thing I would change about the last five years is not taking my trip to France. The only reason I have not went, is because my financial situation. I no longer am just taking care of myself, but I have a significant other and a child to take care of. Saving money in this economy has proven difficult, not just for myself, but for others as well. If I could change it, all three of us would take a nice, long, peaceful trip to Paris, France, and not have a worry in the world except what to do that day.

Changing 5 Years Strong

In two weeks, I will definitely be dead. My only regret is not making it to Paris, France. My dream vacation vanished from right in front of me when I was younger. I had a child out of wedlock, while still in high school, and could just never afford to get there. I plan on, in the next two weeks, making my trip there before I leave this planet for good. Not only will I travel to Paris, but I will make it a point to see the Bridge of Avignon to see the old, beautiful structure before it collapses and will never be rebuilt.

Love for their pets
Jun 24
Due to modern society’s love for their pets, there are a lot of colorful and inventive dog toys on the market today. They come in all sorts of creative shapes, colors, and textures that are specially designed to hold up to rough play. Dogs chew on their toys, drool on their toys, carry them around in their teeth, and generally batter them pretty badly, so dog toys need to be very sturdy both for the sake of the toy and the sake of the dog’s safety. However, there isn’t really any urgent need to buy your dog expensive dog toys; most dogs are just as happy with an ordinary tennis ball to chew on and play fetch with, and an ordinary (if sturdy) stuffed animal to drag around the house, as they are with those expensive and colorful purpose-made dog toys.
The “Cave”
Jun 22
If I could change something in my home, completely, without worrying about cost, it would be to redo my basement. Like many other homes who have unfinished basements, mine leaks water when it rains a lot. We did fix it to where there are spouts coming out about 20 feet from the house to help with the problem, but when there is a lot of rain, there is nothing else we could do. If I could fix my basement, I would put another bedroom down there, as well as a work out room, and a family room for entertainment. Although I will never be able to afford to do this, it is something that would benefit my whole household.
