My house has two doors that we use as entrances. One of them is in the front and most people tend to use that one. The other door, which we commonly use, is more of the main entrance and foyer. Both entrances have a doorbell. And, for some odd reason, my husband thought that they each should have a doorbell that chimes in the form of a song. Not a familiar tune, mind you – something annoying and loud. He has also programmed our phone to ring in the form of a tune as well, which he thinks is the greatest thing in the world. Personally, it annoys me to tears. The problem with the doorbells though, is that we can’t ever remember which annoying song goes with which door. So, someone rings our doorbell and we are scrambling to find which door they are at. Usually, we choose the wrong door first.
We have some people who are regular visitors that absolutely love to ring our doorbell more than once. Perhaps they do it for my husband’s entertainment, or maybe they like to annoy me. I try to pretend it isn’t bothersome but the truth is – I want to scream. Why in the world can’t we have a normal doorbell like everyone else? A simple ‘ding dong’ would suit me just fine. Having a doorbell that goes on for almost a minute is just overboard. Whoever invented doorbells that chime is definitely not on my Christmas card list this year.
I personally am thinking about going to our local hardware store and purchasing a new, standard, normal doorbell and having it installed before he comes home from work someday. I’m not sure how long it would take him to notice but it would certainly make me much happier. Of course, we don’t have people ringing our doorbell more than a few times each week, so I suppose that I can tolerate it just because it makes him happy.
There are so many types and brands of doorbells in the stores nowadays. Choosing one should be incredibly simple but for some reason, it isn’t. Reading about a particular doorbell isn’t that enjoyable and I’m not sure why there need to be so many different types and prices. A doorbell should just be connected, be simple and say ‘ding dong’. Men, think about how much happier your wives would be without the fancy chiming that you think is just the greatest invention of all times.

Coloring Book review
Last weekend my daughter came home with a coloring book clenched in her hands. There was nothing special about it, and it was actually one that she already had at home. It wasn’t what was in the book that made it so special to her, it was the fact that it came from her grandmother’s house and that she was allowed to bring it home. It didn’t matter if it only cost a dollar and was something that she had already colored; it was just the prize of having a coloring book.
This just goes to show that there will always be something magical about a coloring book to a child. It is an adventure waiting to happen. There are pictures and stories that they can enjoy, and they are allowed to make them anything that they want them to be. They can color a tree purple if they like, and they can color their world yellow if that is where they want to be, and how they want to see things. If you look through what my daughter has done, you will find blue cows, purple grass, and a great big green sun. A coloring book is anything they want it to be.
You can pay a lot for a coloring book, or you can pay a little, and it isn’t going to matter very much to your children. They may have ones they want, but even then you won’t have to spend too much money. I don’t think I have ever seen one of five dollars. I don’t think I have even seen anything over three dollars lately, and the higher priced coloring book tends to have extras like double the pages or perhaps stickers and other goodies. Some have large easy pictures, and there are others that have more intricate pictures for the older child. Some have connect the dots included, and even a few educational but very easy puzzles.
When the holidays come, there in nothing more perfect than a coloring book and crayons to include in a stocking. If you have children in your extended family that you have a hard time buying for, a coloring book is always a great idea. Boys and girls both love them, and that makes it easy to buy for someone when you have no idea what they want. Quite honestly, if you were to buy some for my mother for Christmas, you wouldn’t hear a complaint from her.
