I sure hope everyone is doing okay- sorry but I will never remember it all but I am praying.
Norma, sounds like the guy at least has integrity- I'm with you, better to know now.
Lisa, I really hope something good comes up for you soon. I can't think of anything off the top of my head right now that our frugal friends haven't covered but if I do I'll be sure to let you know.
Frugal shopping today- Kroger had some really great deals on b/s chicken breasts, pot roast and there was one of those huge bags of thighs and legs for 2.79. Haven't seen them that cheap in a long time. Also got some cereal on sale for the kids for a treat- they like the sweet stuff and cheerios now and then.
I'm a little excited it is not much but I actually have a paying sponsor for my blog (again very little) but now I have some cash in my PayPal. I also have a couple of sponsors for reviews and giveaways coming up, I'm planning a few neat things for back to school especially with lunches and such.
For those of you with younger children- there is a giveaway going on right now (not mine) that is so cool that I had to link it on my blog for an extra entry. It is for a $500+ bounce house water slide that holds up to 300 lbs. We live near Ken's family and there are tons of kids and it would just be so much fun. Cheaper than the water parks and play places and whatnot. With Kyra in the process of a divorce we don't take Ian for swimming or to the two different playworld type places like he had passes to last year and while we still do the parks and free/really cheap things, this would be so much fun. If you are interested just click the link on the side of my blog and enter away. (Sorry if this isn't the place, but I did try to point out the frugalness of having one.)
Other than that not much else. I envy you all your wonderful gardens but in the best possible I am so happy for you way. There is nothing like home grown.
