Another weekend come and gone. I really do cherish my weekends and the time that I get to spend at home making life better there. Friday should have been a working Friday, but I had a little bout with a stomach bug and spent the day sleeping and resting on the couch. I attempted making a [...]

I may get pretty excited about a bargain. Yesterday we stopped at the grocery store on the way home from work for a loaf of french. You know how that works. I can never leave with just one. We must have hit the store right after mark downs and I have absolutely no pride about buying [...]

Our original plans for the weekend were to spend lots of time in the garden. We need to pull out our annuals in the front beds and prep our veggie boxes for winter vegetables.
