You are making so much progress on your savings goals--that's terrific, and I know it makes you feel so good. <br /><br />We have not done even one Christmas gathering, yet. We will go see my husband's mother today and celebrate with her, our little celebration with just the 3 girls, then with my family tomorrow. Next Sunday, it's a big birthday gathering for a few family members who have the distinction of having birthdays in January, my niece starting it all on the 2nd. We are taking his mom out for lunch, as she is not up to making us a meal and it's a bit of a distance, Rob bought a few treats for tonight, and I have most of my things ready for tomorrow. We are doing fondue, and I made a home-made gluten-free angel food cake. I still need to make cheese sauce and gf tempura batter. <br /><br />I always enjoy reading your blog--you have a nice, easy style of writing that is enjoyable to read and gives me good ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-47012089285729975942016-12-24T01:04:09.260-05:002016-12-24T01:04:09.260-05:00When produce or other things spoil and you can'...When produce or other things spoil and you can't get back to the store try calling the store and talking to the manager. Usually they will accept the receipt as proof of purchase only. With 5 in the bag to begin with and two gone they can figure out easily how much $ to give you back. Some places write down that you called and others don't worry and just say come in ..no problem. Tell them if you want that you only shop so many times a month. I have done this with things from a store we only get to usually every 6 weeks. It may be only two oranges you are out but two of them now and one or two of something later and... it all adds up. I had a pumpkin go bad once. Called and they said Please Don't Bring It Back! It smelled! Please just bring the receipt! :-) <br />Yew, Happy Hannukah and a Merry Christmas from me too!

I kept it under budget! :) One son and his wife have arrived and another and his wife are on the way today and the oldest and his family arrive tomorrow. Our daughters and families live local. And grand dogs are coming, too. :) Happy, Happy times.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
