When you were talking about your trip it made me remember drives through the mountains and the springs and little water falls we would run across. These were the back roads of West Virginia and Ohio where we would travel. It was so much cooler in summer to travel through the thick wooded areas and seeing the native flowers and wildlife too. when we came apron certain watering areas we would always bring empty bottles to fill with that clear cold water! Even as a kid I loved those long drives with the relatives all piled in the car. Thanks for stirring up those beautiful memories.<br /> Love the back ground paper on your blog too! <br /> I am still working on clearing our more in the freezer. This projects will take a while! :) Congratulations on finding those matching shower curtains! An answer to prayer? :) I will try to imagine ways to make my own fruit drinks. I do have some 7 Up too! Summer is here as it is very hot already. I was hoping it would stay a bit cooler for a little longer and June would not heat up so fast...but not. Those cooling drinks will sure be nice! I did get to redo part of the garden area already and that might be about all that an get done till fall and cooler weather. Yet it still warms my heart what did get done. I have praised God many many times for allowing me to get this work done with this old body. <br /> We found a used car to suit our needs and we had enough money saved to pay for it. That allowed us to give our older yet good car away to a family that needed one. A win win. God worked it out. Better go check if the garden needs watering!

Like this morning.. I sat wondering what I felt like having for breakfast when you mentioned bacon and pancakes.. I had no pancakes frozen this time but I had lots of bacon so I jumped up and cooked some bacon. Thank you for the idea..<br /><br />And on another note, my hubby used to sharpen our lawn mower blades and get one or two more cuttings from them.. Unless of course I hit a few rocks or dog bones and damaged the blade too much... Something to consider anyway.<br /><br />I also enjoyed YOUR Vacation through your words. Felt like I was actually there. Again, Thank you.<br /><br />Here's to another frugal week!!<br />WeezieLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344939433885055743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-21593994249122897912014-06-07T18:45:00.139-04:002014-06-07T18:45:00.139-04:00I'm so glad you are not going to quit sharing ...I'm so glad you are not going to quit sharing how you save money. I'll enjoy reading how you enjoy life, but I really enjoy how you save too. It inspires me. I hated to see Rebecca quit.<br /><br />We live a peaceful life in the country. I love to throw open the patio door and hear the birds singing or look out over the green fields. We sit out on our deck to enjoy a morning coffee together (not this morning though - it was 46 degrees!). We just replaced our 35-year-old about-to-fall-through patio with a new Trex one. It's so lovely. It is a no-upkeep patio and at our age that's what we wanted. We moved our swing to a shaded area of the yard and will enjoy that on hot summer days.<br /><br />Life can be busy here on our farm 9 months of the year, but there are slow times too, and we take full advantage of those times. <br /><br />It's good to have you back blogging!<br /><br />Pam Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-26017447074522862042014-06-07T18:41:24.386-04:002014-06-07T18:41:24.386-04:00Isn't that porch wonderful?
