Finding a good shoe to carry you through the cold rainy months ahead can be daunting. A good all around shoe should be waterproof, stylish, have good firm soles, and fit like a glove. I found mine at www.landsend.com.  More than one million pairs of their All Weather Mocs have sold  since they first offered them for sale.These are very comfortable shoes. They slip on easily, and have ...

I bought Jimmy Buffett's new album Take the Weather With You when it came out in October, 2006, and while I'm not exactly a fan of a lot of the cover songs (10 out of the 14 tracks aren’t written by Buffett and co.), there are a few gems that warrant a nod. "Bama Breeze" starts off the album, and it's on par with the usual Buffett material, as is "Party at the E...

Hummel collectibles can be found in most fine gift shops. I know many people who collect all that they can and spend a lot of money doing so. I think they're cute, but have never been interested in collecting them.I received my Stormy Weather figurine as a gift from someone who had visited Germany, where they are manufactured. This seems to be one of the more popular of their styles as I...

Severe weather is bad enough when you can watch television and hear important news updates. Being out of touch during those times can not only be scary, it can be deadly.During a major ice storm, our house was without power for 5 days. It seemed unbearable to us, but others had it much worse. All hotels in the city and for miles around were filled with people looking for a place to st...

Great speakers to have outdoors.  These speakers can be mounted two different ways to an outside structure.  There is some room to swivel the speakers direction once they are firmly mounted.  There are dual dome tweeters that give great sound outside.  The volume is constant and even.  They are entirely weather proof to all the elements and can be enjoyed year round out...

We bought the Kolcraft Jeep All-Weather Umbrella Stroller to take with us on a trip.  We wanted something smaller than her regular stroller, but that could also recline so she could nap.  It worked out perfectly.  The seat has two positions, up or reclined.  You change it by just unhooking the seat.  So you can easily switch it to reclining without waking the child up.&...

It does the following:--It measures the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius and details the wind chi...

This is a basic am/fm/weather radio that I found on the shelf at Radio Shack this past weekend. It comes in red or white colors or at least that is what was on the shelf that day. It has what is called a dynamo crank to recharge the battery as well as a built in light for emergencies. I powered it up and liked what I heard. It sounded very good and for the price of 49.99 I felt that the Eton co...

  My husband and I are big fans of outdoors and long drives. All outdoor activities mostly include a lot of driving and off-roading. Every time that we came back from highway driving, we required to give the car a painstaking detailed wash.
