Fine Wool Clothing

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband and I have owned our own business for over 30 years and we are still learning ways to utilize resources when it comes to our industry. I admire businesses who strive for high standards of ecological responsibility and still provide a superior product. That is the standard held by the folks at Ramblers Way Farms. Ramblers Way creates beautiful, comfortable wool apparel from their own sheep raised on their farm in Maine. They also partner with ranches around the United States. These soft, comfortable clothes are beautiful and have been satisfying customers since 1970. I can see why.

When you shop at Ramblers Way you will find the most comfortable worsted wool products that will become your most favorite items of clothing.

If I had $500 to spend at Ramblers Way, I would stock up on their comfortable underwear. They are comfortable and stylish and would hold up far longer than the ones I have. I’d be able to throw away all my holey undies! They are machine washable so that makes them easy to take care of. I like the thought of not having to hand wash my undies any longer.

I would love to buy new exercise clothing. I wear the same two pair of jogging pants and a few t-shirts my daughter has given me as my gym wardrobe. I am embarrassed to be seen by all those cute gym rats. LOL I would love to have a cute yoga outfit like this one.

Not only is it cute, it is sheared-elegance of superfine, 18.5 micron Rambouillet wool that makes one feel sexy even when exercising. This breathable fabric will keep you warm and cool.

Vance Perry Sings Mary Did You Know

One of my all time favorite Christmas songs, Mary Did You Know?, is sung by Vance Perry. His songs are unbelievably awesome. His range is spectacular. I could go on and on. Listen. Enjoy.

Gone to the Dogs

My house, at times, seems to have gone to the dogs. I wonder if these three know how good they have it.

Suzie, on the left, is my mom’s dog. She is the queen bee because she is old. She lets the others know that she does not want to be bothered. Rarely do we see her scowl. The other two just seem to know to abide by her wishes to be left alone. She is a sweetie.

Brody, in the middle, has led us to visits to the Purdue Veterinary School for treatment of an eye infection. Tomorrow will hopefully be our last visit. His eye looks wonderfully clear.

Elsie, on the right, is our stately Boston Terrier. She is like a race horse. She is such a good dog and graces us with her presence on occasion. More times than not, she is in our bed, under the covers. Be careful if you get close when she is sleeping. She lets out a growl that tells us she is getting her beauty sleep.

Calling All Teachers

Now is the time to take charge. After watching President Obama’s speech tonight, I am even more convinced that we are in charge of our destiny. We cannot sit back and wait for things to happen. One of the most important jobs in our country is that of a teacher. Teachers hold the key to our future because they influence so many lives. If you are a teacher, now is the time to acquire a Master of Arts in Teaching degree.

Paying for Online Gambling

I recently received a letter from my bank that has me questioning the laws concerning online gambling. This was a randomly generated letter that stated no funds were to be withdrawn from accounts when paying online gambling sites. I am not sure what they are talking about. If online gambling is legal, how can a bank tell a patron how to spend their own money?

I have been researching the laws concerning online gambling and am confused. Some sites, such as Poker NationsX have information about various laws concerning online gambling. I will be doing more research to find out where they find their information. If anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate any links. How does one research actual US law?

I know this will probably open my blog up to a bunch of spam but I can hope it doesn’t.
