If you have nothing planned for the Labor Day Weekend, then why not head to Main Street, Jupiter.  They are hosting their monthly classic car show.  This event will be at Abacoa Town Center, there will be over 400 classic cars driving down Main Street about 5pm.  To keep you entertained while you watch your favorite old car drive by there will be a Live Oldies Band playing some of the past’s favorite tunes. 

If classic cars aren’t your thing, then there’s more fun stuff to do this weekend.  I have mentioned the Mangrove Tours before in a previous blog, so you will be familiar.  This weekend there is another tour on Saturday, September 4th.  This tour will leave the Jupiter Outdoor Center doc at 2pm.  From Woodbine Apartments to JOC you are about 35 minutes away.  Here are the directions. 

From all of us at Woodbine Apartments, have a great Labor Day Weekend! 

A musical portrayal of life after closing for one local Blues club.  Inspired by the great music of Muddy Waters, Mae West and Pearl Bailey.  Low Down Dirty Blues is a story within a story, where four people come to gather at the club to share their lives, their experiences and their passions.   We are taken back to an era when history meant something, when a person remembers “when.”  This musical is an emotionally charged authenticity.  It is a show that should not be missed. 

Low Down Dirty Blues will be playing at the Kravis Center, September 1-5, 2010. 

‘Tis the season, the end of the summer season.  Now is the best time to get those great end of the summer season bargains to stock away for next year.  There are a couple of things that I most definitley stock up on, one are flip flops.  My children go through flip flops like water running from a faucet.  I always buy 2 sizes larger, cross my fingers and hope they fit the next year.  The second thing I buy are t-shirts.  Again, these are a staple in our home, we can never have too many of them.  There are two places that I go, that have great deals for the end of summer, Old Navy and Target.  I always seem to be able to find what I am looking for, especially for the end of a season. 

The nearest Target to Woodbine Apartments is on 500 N Congress Ave, Lake Park

I am an entertainment junkie.  I like to watch Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood.  Everytime they come on, my husband just rolls his eyes at me.  This Sunday is the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards in LA.  This is the show, that I think is better than the Oscars.  Our favorite stars from the medium of television are honored for their achievement in the year’s best shows.  My favorites to win this year come from “Glee.” This show has just taken off and has become very popular all over the globe.  Jane Lynch, who is a nominee in the category for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her portrayal of the sassy Sue Sylvester, is my pick to win this category. 

Which series do you think will walk away with top honors this Sunday?

The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards airs on ABC this Sunday at 8e/5p. 

Saturday September 11, 2010, John Mayer will be appearing at the Cruzan Ampitheater.  The seven time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter is best known for his “Your Body is a Wonderland” which was his breakout single of 2003.  Since then, Mayer has consistently toured and made chart topping music. This is your chance to see him live, which I have seen him twice and his concerts are an event  not to be missed. 

Check here for tickets.

Have you ever taken a tour among the Mangroves?  These trees are unique in that they have long roots that come out from the water.  They are able to survive because they can get freshwater from the salt water.  You will be guided through the Jupiter inlet to see the marvelous Mangroves,  and if you’re lucky and the weather is right, then the tour will take you to the Jupiter Lighthouse.  If you want more information about this tour, contact the Jupiter Outdoor Center. 

Jackie Evencho is a 10 year old girl from Pittsburgh who began singing opera at the age of 8, having been inspired by the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Phantom of the Opera.  She has wowed the nation on America’s Got Talent and on last nights show, recieved a standing ovation and praise from judge Piers Morgan. 

Check out the video of her singing.  Let me know what you think about her, share your thoughts here on the blog. 

Belly dancing!  I thought that was reserved for pop singing sensation Shakira!  Well, I guess not, because belly dancing lessons are popping up all over.  I have several friends who do it for fun and have found that it is great exercise routine as well.  So, if you’re interested in learning how to shake your stuff, then here is where you can go locally and try it. 

West Palm Beach Library, 411 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.  It will take you about half an hour to get to the library.

I love a little cinnamon on my toast in the morning for breakfast. Cinnamon is also great in a baked apple pie as well. Did you know that cinammon, not only tastes good, but it has health benefits as well.  It is a fact that having 1/2 teaspoon of the tasty spice a day, will help you lead a healthier life. 

Here are some of the benefits of eating cinammon. 

• Lowers cholesterol
• Acts as a home remedy for cough and cold
• Strengthens the immune system
• Acts as a natural pain reliever for toothaches
• Helps in regulating blood sugar levels
• Acts as an Anti inflammatory

Next time you want something that is good and is good for you, sprinkle a little cinnamon and reap the benefits.

Have you ever seen a picture of a room in a magazine and wished that you could do the same thing, but for half the cost?  Well, you can and you can do it inexpensively and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. I actually did this with my kitchen.  I love the Tuscan style and found my perfect kitchen, problem was it was in Architectural Digest and I knew that I would have to win the lottery to do it exactly the way the picture was. 

Follow these few simple tips and you too can have the room of your dreams, it worked for me. 

1. First cut out the picture you have seen.  I actually made a folder of pictures of things that I liked in the Tuscan style.
2. I went to stores such as Home Goods to find items that would match or at least come close to, what it was I was looking for.  Hobby Lobby was also the best place for me to find items.
3. Use the internet; you never know what you can find, especially on EBay.
4. Go out to garage sales, again, you never know who is selling what and you may find something.
5. Don’t go overboard with things.  You can make a room look more cluttered than your dream room should be.  You will always be able to add more, if you like when you have lived in the room for a while.

Have you ever recreated a room? If so, tell me about it here on the blog. I would love to know how it turned out.  And tell me what you would do different, if anything at all.
