Yes it does seem our neighborhood is overactive at times and I always seem to be in the middle of whatever is going on LOL! Honestly I had no idea when I walked over there that anything was out of the normal, it looked from my house just like a normal all the neighbors getting together to visit. I am one of the youngest in our neighborhood besides Melissa (across the street) and Cindy (3 doors down) and Mary (next door) all 3 work during the day so the elderly folks who know I'm home all the time look to me when there is a problem in the neighborhood. While I was over there last night I had Julie the grandaughter put her phone number in my cell phone along with her aunt and Dad so that if something would happen to their grandma I'd be able to reach one of them.

I truly do like being able to help out in my community and the older man, Mark was to check with his brother who is a paramedic to see if they could get follow up info. on what happened with the old man.

Frugal today will be staying home till this evening when dh gets home then going to Krogers to pick up Windi's meds and fill up the car, I have 20 cents off per gallon discount this week. Gas was cheap here yesterday as low as $3.35 but with the market plummeting yesterday I suspect it won't be cheap today.

More frugal today: dh commented this morning about since I've been making soap, his clothes are so soft from me using the leftover slivers in his laundry so this morning I gathered up a tub of scraps and have them in the crockpot melting with water to make a couple gallons of laundry soap, using leftover gallon water containers I save when I buy dh's distilled water for his machine and ones I buy water for drinking in. I've switched from buying those big 24 packs of water bottles to gallon sized I can usually get those at Walmart for around $1.00 just fill a cup instead of using a plastic bottle.
