Good Afternoon Everyone

Foxfire is a series of books about how folks lived in the Appachalian Mountains... right now I'm reading one of the first Foxfire books where they are interviewing a very old lady in her 80's who lives in the mountains by herself and grows and can's all her food along with whatever meat her neighbors give her (she currently is cutting up a hog in the book). It has alot of things like how to make moonshine, build a greenhouse, outside games for kids.. pretty interesting books. I was a little surprised that my library system had so many of them since most were written and produced in the early 70's.

Today has been a so so day for being frugal... we bought Subway sandwiches for lunch. I had the chicken wings for the game thinking the game was at noon, it's not till 3:30pm and I didn't have any other menu ideas easily available so we bought off the $5 menu. Dh just left to go to the post office to mail off a paper the bank needed that we acknowledge they offerred us insurance on this loan. Dh called the bank and they said we should be set up on Monday to sign on the loan. Dh is also stopping by our friend Neals store and getting windshield wiper fluid... we filled up the truck's last week, now the car needs it. Then fingers crossed... both cars are up to date on all maintenance and ready for the winter weather.

It's a beautiful day here and wished I'd been motivated to do laundry and hang outside but just wasn't into it today... I think we are to have nice weather again tommorow so I'll wash this evening and hang out in the am.

I am sorry to hear that your plans for the surgery have changed and hope that you can get something done next week, that would really tick me off too.

Happy Birthday Kathymac !
