I recently posted about an online company that I use for designing and producing t-shirts. When I need top-notch custom stitchery I go to a local woman, Jean Meyer, who does amazing work. Jean is the owner of Sierra Stitch Factory in Shingle Springs.

I was in need of some polo shirts with the Tromler Construction name on front. I wanted it embroidered and was open to the type of materials. She has made several for me in the past using fabrics that I did not know were available.

Rather than order a bunch of the same shirts, she allowed me to get different shirts with the same stitching on them. All of the shirts were high quality, professional work shirts that I will be proud to wear when meeting with clients.

When it comes to stitching she can do it all. Once I was in her office and saw a High School jacket that was an unbelievable design. Be sure to ask about these jackets.

She is available on Facebook.

Well my youngest son turned 18 yesterday and graduated from high school tonight. Kind of a sad time but one of excitement for the future. He will be off to college soon, moving on in his life as a young man.

I don't really feel all that different today. Just another milestone in his life. soon he will be getting married, having kids, owning a home, and on and on.

Tonight he will be at Sober Grad Night with the majority of his graduating class. SGN is a party-like atmoshere for the students, supervised by parents and teachers in a fun environment. the students are bused there after the graduation ceremony and back from the location in the morning. He will probably sleep most of the day tomorrow.

Social media sites like Facebook has reached far and wide in a short amount of time. I like Facebook mainly because it is easy just to share ideas, get quick updates on my friends (without having to chat endlessly - just kidding. ) Anyway, I noticed something odd today on Facebook.

A friend of mine had a birthday (Facebook reminded me) so I posted on his wall "Happy Birthday Larry". I then scrolled down to see other posts and on that first page I saw a different post from me. What! Did I post in the middle of the night? Kind of like "sleep posting" or something. Or worse yet, someone may have hacked my account.

I checked the time of the post and noticed that it was from last year on the same date. Are you kidding me! Two of the top ten posts are from me - one year apart. Crazy. So then I wondered how often people use there account. Of the 500 zillion Facebook users, how many use it regularly? I don't know.

Do you use Facebook? Regularly?

Love to here how you use social media to network with friends.

Happy Patty's Day!
