Neighbors of Renjis Empati, 57, of Borneo are very thankful, and some might say relieved, that he heeded natures call.

When Renjis walked outside to use his toilet he noticed that his kitchen was in the process of being swallowed by a sinkhole. He immediately called out to his neighbors and saved them just in the nick of time.

Said a grateful neighbor: “If it were not for him, most of us would be dead by now.” Approximately 100 neighbors were saved by Renjis Empati’s call to get out of their homes.

Poor cat! It looks like it’s given up the struggle doesn’t it?

I can’t believe they’re washing the cat in the kitchen sink! It looks like the cats soapy wet tail is resting on a clean pot on the counter. My wife … well … she’d kill me if I washed a pet in the kitchen sink, especially if there were clean dishes on the counter.

I was just looking at some of the vacation home rentals that are listed at Rocky Point rentals and I think that perhaps the next time we vacation in Mexico that we might rent a vacation home rather than stay at a resort or hotel.

The vacation homes and condos are all luxurious, have beach front views, fully equipped kitchens and satellite TV. You certainly don’t always get that when you stay in a hotel or a resort.

Just for the heck of it I decided to check on the availability of vacation rentals starting March 30th for a 6 night stay for two. There were a number of vacation homes to choose from, and when I checked the price I found that they were quite reasonable. The cost of renting one of these luxury homes for a week was about the same as staying at a resort or less.

However, think about all the extra space - many of these rental homes have two to four bedrooms, the ability to cook your own food, and in many cases not only a beach front view, but the beach pretty much right at your door.

I think it would be much nicer to take a vacation and rent a home for a week. I think you’d end up saving money and having a much more relaxing vacation. I mean, I’d rather have a whole house to lounge around in than a cramped hotel room any day!

If you like the idea of staying in a luxury vacation home or condo on your next holiday remember to visit oceano-rentals.com.

We’re always looking for interesting things to put in our garden. Now I only wish that we had a big tree in our front or back yard because I really like these Tree Faces. They have all kinds, so if you always thought your tree had character - find one that suits it.

Hmmm, my parents have a lot of trees in their yard, and they have a lot of birds too, maybe I could get them a tree face bird feeder as a gift. Yeah, I think I might just do that.
