Pay It Forward Event

July 22, 2009

What better reason to participate in a combined effort Garage Sale Event than one designed to help subsidize the needs of children with health needs that stretch farther than what many parents wallets have enough padding for?

2Cowvin may enjoy a nice lunch at a local deli or trip around the roller rink, but the reality is… what touches the heart more than being able to help those with needs greater than your own in some small way? Lending a hoof to a couple of handfuls of dedicated individuals, Cowvin attended the “Pay It Forward” garage sale event to raise money for another of his favorite organizations, Building Blocks for Kids.1

The Building Blocks for Kids (BB4K) mission is to improve the quality of life for children with health-related needs that are unmet through traditional means by offering grants, referrals, and alternative resources. These are needs not being met due to lack of insurance, insurance coverage, government assistance, and/or family resources. If you’d like more information about this wonderful organization, go to http://www.bb4k.org/templates/System/default.asp?id=45777.

Cowvin Goes Go Cart Racing

July 22, 2009

                                  1               GO, SPEED RACER, GO!

Okay, so Cowvin isn’t actaully sporting a ‘mach 5’, but that won’t stop him from imagining the the wind blasting past his ears while edging into the next curve passing all his opponents!

This visit was at Competition Racing in Lawrenceburg, Indiana  ( http://www.competitionracing.net/….. in case you find yourself with the need for speed).  A few laps around the track, a few new friends along the way, another great day for our favorite cow.

You don’t have to hit the speedway to have a good time. A well planned garage sale may just net you the money for a visit to the track. Cowvin is here to help!

Landen Car Boot Sale

July 16, 2009

1Every sale of personal items does not have to be located in the garage or out in the yard. ‘Car boot sales’ are a mainly British form of market in which private individuals come together to sell household and garden goods. The term refers to the selling of items from a car’s boot (U.K.) (or trunk in the U.S.).  While not as popular here in the U.S., the measure is growing.  It’s a great event to organize at a local school or church parking lot, helping a whole group of people get rid of a trunk full of items all at one time.

Here are some tips for a successful Boot Sale:

  • Pack the night before
  • Arrive early
  • Set up like a showroom
  • Create some point of sale material
  • Use your negotiating skills
  • Move things around
  • Remember why you came…. At the end of the sale, you don’t want to take anything home. Slash prices. Offer two for one deals.

Gone Fishin’

July 2, 2009

 So1unds like a fish story to me!

You may not realize it, but even cows enjoy a quiet day casting a line or two, patiently waiting on that one perfect catch as the breeze billows past your ears and the sun is just behind those big oaks to the west.

The best part is coming home to tell the tale of the one that got away! You know the one…. when you first see it yank on your line and try to pop it up but somehow the slippery little guy manages to outsmart your hook. You know it’s probably only six inches being generous, but by the time you’ve told the story a few times, why, that guppie is suddenly ‘thissss bigggg!!!!’….. (measured by your hands like a Subway footlong commercial, of course.)

Take some time out to relax and do some fun things over the summer. Feel the heat on the back of your neck. Swat one too many mosquitos. Grill the perfect hot dog with the stick you widdled after gathering logs for the campfire.   And after a relaxing weekend with the reflections of the reeds holding tight at the edge of the bank and the water spiders bouncing spiratically across the long lines the sun has cast, you’ll be ready to come home and do something else that makes you feel good. Get rid of some stuff and get paid for it! 🙂
