Sunday morning I got my chores done and then was right back into
project mode most of the day. So much to
do and not a lot of time left in which to get everything done, but we are
making progress and I'm pretty darn happy about that.
Tuesday evening I went home and didn't do a whole lot other than
to fix supper. I pretty much took the
evening off and it felt pretty nice, I must say. It has been a steady marathon of projects
around here.
Thursday we packed up the girl to head off to college. Some more of our friends stopped by to wish
her well and see all the changes going on at our house. We had a really nice visit.
Saturday my day get caught up a bit around the house, do some
grocery shopping and come up with a meal plan for the busy week ahead. I went to Fred Meyer for groceries and used
up a gob of coupons I had acquired pairing as many as I could with items on
sale.
I worked a couple hours of overtime last week.
I picked up eight brand new skeins of Red Heart yarn at a thrift store for only 99¢ each! Yay!

How
was your thrifty week?
Love your posts. Your home always looks so wonderful I am amazed that you have done so much repair and overhaul. It looks even greater and I didn't think that was possible! So much done and now you will have time to cozy down for the fall and winter. I have been getting things ready to donate around here this past week. Also some books for the Friends of the Library. And reading! I have been reading some wonderful books. I just started "The Okinawa Program". I bought the book years ago when I was much younger and thinking I didn't need to read it. But now I know I should have read it years ago. Okinawa is one of the Blue Zones on earth. Where the people are very healthy. The book talks about diet, exercise, stress, and other lifestyle practices. It is very interesting. Never too late to try to stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Tana. I am looking forward to some downtime to read and do crafts. I'm glad you are enjoying that book. Never too late to get healthy, so true!
DeleteSounds like your house is going to get a lot quieter. I bet that was a happy/sad moment taking your daughter to college. They grow up in the blink of an eye. You have given her the tools to be a fine young woman and her sister too. It's a new adventure for her - for all 3 of you. I'm glad she is close enough to get back home for visits. Time for your baby bird to spread her wings. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit quieter. I am so happy for her as she heads off on her next adventure in life. Excited to see what her future has in store for her. :o)
