About Canadian County, OK

My friends mare had a serious surgery and had to stay in the vet clinic for a few days. Her colt who was always very active had to stay with her. Both of them were confined to these four walls...the little guy was less than happy, however and needed lots of attention while his mama was getting better ...

This is my friend's grandson Sam who is giving Spanky his full attention...

There are only 24 in a day. Everyone gets the same cut but what you do with it makes a difference. We are surrounded by time thieves and you probably will not be surprised that one of the biggest ones is an EMAIL.

What is the first thing you do in the morning (after certain necessities like ... drinking coffee, of course) or maybe getting behind your office desk? Admit it - you cannot wait to see who actually tries to get your attention in the cyberspace.

Email could be one of the biggest time wasters if not controlled by a little planning and a bit of organization.

So let's not waste any more time and apply these few simple steps to 'buy' you some extra time.

1. Set a limit how many times daily you will check your email - select 3 to 4 times. If possible do not keep your email open unless you expect something important. Otherwise you will en up an EMAIL SLAVE.

2. Set up a separate email accounts (Google, Yahoo, etc) for your personal use. By doing so you are not clogging your business email.

3. Set up folders - to save search time for a specific email and keep your letters, docs, recipes, etc all separate. This is an easy task in Outlook

1. • On left click FILE
   • from drop down menu choose FOLDER and then NEW
   • choose name for folder
   • make sure that the MAIL and POST ITEMS is selected
   • when finished reading an email right click on it, choose MOVE TO FOLDER, then select appropriate folder where you want to move your email - click OK; you just stored your email

4. To manage you emails (to store them automatically in an appropriate folder) - use FILTER/RULES and folder together:

• in the toolbar choose TOOLS; left click and from drop down menu right click on RULES & ALERTS
• choose NEW RULE - this starts Rule Wizard; the Wizard offers a variety of choices; a very easy action is to select MOVE MESSAGES FROM SOMEONE TO A FOLDER; if you receive emails often from a particular sender that's where they can be stored automatically. These emails will not 'land' in your INBOX but go directly to a specified folder
• there are options to put specific emails directly where they belong - TRASH!

How is your imagination? Can you turn the raw dirt look into something pretty? Do you know where to start and how to do it?

Landscaping ... it is an art in itself but also a very hard work.

A couple of years ago I met Jim Garrett from Tuttle Oklahoma. A very gifted lanscape designer and a great person to work with. Jim listens and listens to what you have in mind, to what you imagine the project to look like and then he asks a lot of questions and .... goes to work. First behind a drawing board. Schetches and drawings, cost breakdowns, choices, advise etc...

Jim is in the landscape business for over 17 years. He is an owner of the Natural Look Water Features and Swimming Pools in Tuttle, Oklahoma which is the suburb of Oklahoma City.

You can admire his work all over OKC metro. One of his projects is located in Yukon, Ok at the new house addition of River Mesa. The lates of his creations is located at the Norman Regional Hospital.

Need a reliable and talented landscaper who will take your project from A to Z?
