My Thoughts:
This bag from Red Fox Sports is made from a nice heavy canvas and is well stitched. With the four straps you can put it in the front or back of the frame. I put this bag on her beach cruiser for my Mom in just a few seconds. Mom likes it in the front on the frame just behind the handlebars and it was nice that I could put it were she wanted it. With this bag she has someplace that she can put items that she needs to keep with her. It is essential that she keep her emergency diabetic kit close by at all times and it fit perfectly in the bag. There was even room for her credit card holder, keys, and a few other small items. She is very happy with her new bag. 
Groove Socks Performance Compression Socks
Groove Socks Performance Compression Socks
  • FIGHTS LEG AND FOOT FATIGUE - Graduated compression design increases pressure gradually helping blood to recirculate to the heart. You'll be able to power through the most grueling workouts or intense game play with less muscle soreness and heaviness in these athletic compression socks.
  • FEWER BLISTERS AND INJURIES - Selective cushioning absorbs shocks with your movements, reducing strain on the legs and joints. The padding also limits sliding in your footwear to decrease the risk of painful blisters.



  • DRIER, HEALTHIER FEET - Unique moisture-wicking fabric draws sweat away from the skin. Drier feet means less risk of foot odor and infections like athlete's foot.
  • STRONG AND COMFORTABLE - Reinforced stitching in the toe and heel helps our compression socks stand up to frequent laundering. The large toe box gives you plenty of room to ensure comfort with every step.
  • FITS YOUR FEET AND YOUR SENSE OF STYLE - Available in Men's and Women's sizes.
My Thoughts:
I got a size medium for my boyfriend who wears a size 10 shoe and they fit perfectly. He has wanted a pair of compression socks to wear while doing his twenty mile bike rides for a while now. When they arrived he wore them around the house and they felt so good he thought about wearing them to bed. The first day he wore these from Groove Socks on his ride he was thrilled with their performance. He has also wore them on his runs and has found that they help prevent some of the pain from his shin splints. Because I wash his workout clothes by hand after each use I have had the opportunity to check the stitching and material of these socks out very closely. I am very happy with the quality of these socks. I have found that they are very well made.

Stolen Generation




MarksvilleandMe reviews 
Stolen Generation
written by
Shari McGriff

Stolen Generation is a no nonsense writers view on past and present Stolen Generations. Very vivid and very real. Be prepared for a very short but very intense story from the past to the present bringing to life what has happened over and over again, generation after generation. 

Man has still not learned that their decisions change the world in more ways then one. Life is life, if you take a life it is murder, no matter what the circumstances. 

You can purchase Stolen Generation on Amazon.


A Short Story

A life taken; a life preserved. Who decides the outcome of a child born to poverty, slavery, or simply the wrong skin tone or ethnic descent? At our core beats a heart, bestowing the gift of life, but who has the right to determine how that life should be lived?
Come with writer, Shari McGriff, on a powerful journey from modern day, back in time, to turn-of-the century Australia. A small child is chased down a dust-filled street and ripped from his mother’s arms. “Dust-to-dust”, they say, “when we pass from one life to the next.”
Vignettes explored, take the reader on The Trail of Tears, to the farms of wealthy landowners and the gas chambers of Nazi Germany. Families, decimated by greed and lust for power, stare at one another through tear-soaked eyes and a veil of forgetfulness. These are generations robbed of everything: their heritage, past and future, their family ties, and even their names.
Surely, today things are different, more humane and civil. There is no longer a kill the Indian, save the child mentality, or is there? The poor, the uneducated, and the inconvenient are victimized, as in days past. We are all human. Are we perpetrating our own stolen generation?
Deeply moving and forcefully conveyed, this is a short story that will impact the way you look at love, life, and the need to embrace the human family. Free your mind from all earthly cares and spend a few precious minutes in the soul of a child, desperate to share the joys, and sorrows that are our existence.

ZITRADES 2pcs Diagnostic PENLIGHT




When I was little I remember playing with my father's Diagnostic Pen light while he was working on cars.

I didn't really think of them being used for Medical reasons but now that I am older and have seen them used that way it makes sense.

These are great penlights that come with batteries, have the measurements on the side which my father's did not have, and have a click on/off feature instead of having to hold down on the metal clip.

Can be used for many other things besides the medical and auto fields.

You can purchase the ZITRADES 2pcs Diagnostic PENLIGHT on Amazon.

Spring Pet Ear Cleaner for Dogs and Cats



Until a few months ago I didn't even know such a thing as Ear cleaner for pets existed. I had always used a homemade concoction that my parents used.

Since the bottle of Spring Pet Ear Cleaner for Dogs and Cats has a nice nozzle for administering the liquid to my animals ears it makes it much easier to use, so that my pet can feel better quicker.

Very easy to use and we have seen results right away as well as a much happier pet.


You can purchase Spring Pet Ear Cleaner for Dogs and Cats in Amazon.

What Spring Pet has to say about their product.
Ear infections in pets are one of the most common problems seen in both dogs and cats. Parasites, such as ear mites, can irritate the ear and lead to secondary infections. Also, the ear canal in our pets is longer and deeper than ours, which can lead to a warm, dark moist environment that bacteria and yeast love to grow in. Hormonal imbalances and allergies can also lead to problems in your pets ears.

Cleaning your pet's ears should be part of your grooming routine to remove excess wax and debris that can harbor these harmful micro-organisms. Our ear cleaner is specifically formulated to deodorize, dry, acidify and gently clean your pet's ears without stinging. Our solution is gentle enough to use every day, after bathing or swimming to help dry the ear.

How to use:

- Fill the ear canal with the ear cleansing solution.
- Gently massage the base of the ear to loosen the debris and wax. The ear canal travels downward along your pet's face. You should hear a squishing sound.
- Let your pet shake it's head.
- Clean the ear debris with a cotton ball. Do not use cotton tip swabs down in the ear canal. This tends to pack the debris rather than clean it.

For excessively dirty ears you can use 2-3 times a day for several days.

For maintenance of healthy ears use once or twice a week or as often as your veterinarian recommends.

If your notice redness, swelling, painful ears, foul odor, or the debris does not resolve after a few days of use, please seek advice of your veterinarian for further diagnostics and treatment.

100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee allows you to try Ear Cleaner RISK FREE. Just contact us through Amazon if you are not happy with the results and we will fully refund you.

 Unique not-stinging formula cleans and deodorizes pet's ears. Soothing veterinary strength formula is gentle enough to use every day. Helps remove the dirt and debris caused by ear mite infestation. Aids in breaking down ear wax that can keep medication from reaching target micro-organisms. Dries and acidifies the pet's external ear canal which inhibits further growth of harmful micro-organisms, such as yeast and bacteria. Aloe Vera and Vitamins A, C, E & F help to restore ear canal to a healthier state and reduces itching and redness.

 For maintenance of healthy ears.  Use once or twice a week or as often as your veterinarian recommends to clean external ear canal. Use as an ear flush to bring up excess dirt and debris and clean with a cotton ball or paper towel.

Can also be used to remove debris prior to administration of prescription otic medications for treatment of ear infections.

Has a fresh cucumber melon scent to help make ears smell better.

Light up Charging Cable



Charging cords are something we go through quite frequently, they are like socks they disappear and no one seems to know what happened to any of them. I thought maybe if we had light up charging cables then everyone could have their own color and no one could get a way with saying one was theirs when it wasn't the color they were given. 

So far so good although I do need a few more so that everyone had one. I know that I can't plug into my computer to charge but I can plug into an outlet and it works fine. Not sure if anyone else runs into that problem or not but it seems to be the only way to charge my iPad Mini.

The light is not bright so you don't have to worry about it being overwhelming but bright enough that you can find your device in the dark. I know my girls certainly are enjoying their light up cords, guess I get stuck with the plain white one I have.

You can  purchase the Light up Charging Cable on Amazon.
