No matter how much watering the plants get the night before they droop during the afternoons. I hope to get the shade cloth we have put over head so they can get some respite from the heat. The bell peppers that were growing fine yesterday show signs of sun burn today.<br />I got some marked down sausages the other day. They are the best lunch sausages we had ever had. When we later looked at the regular price we were shocked. Three times what we paid and way high!! We will sure be looking for them marked down again..but doubt we will hit the store at the right time. :) <br />Your summer sure is a full and busy one. You will all grow closer from this experience. I love to hear about what you are planting and doing around your home. I think it energizes us all to work on our own homes when we hear from other homemakers. It motivates us all. I know it does me!! :-) Sarah<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-48559932464526989802016-06-04T08:30:16.692-04:002016-06-04T08:30:16.692-04:00Sounds exhausting, but I'm glad it has been a ...Sounds exhausting, but I'm glad it has been a great week!

I had a big pot of it at my other house, I need to find some more to plant here. I know I will miss it.<br /> We bought paint to paint the new storage trailer we bought. I printed off coupon and saved $5 gallon.. we needed 3 gallons, so this was a $15 savings. <br />I am painting my outside chairs too. Hope to start on them next week..[raining too much right now..].<br /> I have not been grocery shopping for 2 weeks. Eating from pantry and freezer, saving money.. I made Chocolate chip/pecan cookies from a blogger friends recipe.<br />It has been in her family for 100 yrs..It was so good.. My granddaughter was here,and she enjoyed making them and eating them.lol<br />Hope you have a good weekend.Sew Blessed Maw [Judy]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15474519379303505290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-70416814259053847142016-06-03T17:39:25.693-04:002016-06-03T17:39:25.693-04:00I am always surprised at how much our grandchildre...I am always surprised at how much our grandchildren can eat! It is fun to feed them though when it is usually just the two of us. <br /><br />My big savings for the week was buying a Dyson cordless rechargeable stick vac for almost half since it is refurbished. I have gone over all our hardwood floors with it once and they are as clean as if I mopped them! This was a real need here and I saved $140 on it.<br /><br />I continue to look for a downsize house but the market is moving so fast that most are gone before I can get my husband out to look or even before I can get there. God knows and we rest in that. More work is getting done to ready ours for market so that we can sell as soon as we find something. Houses in our neighborhood typically sell in a week or less so we need to be ready. This week the backdoor was taken out and rotten framing replaced and the half bath renovation continues. <br /><br />Paid our credit card bill in full today as we do every month. We are up to $168 in cash rewards! I have not been to the grocery store for two weeks and we have found plenty to eat here. That always saves me money and food waste. Downloaded the Chick fil A app and got a free sandwich and the Moe's app and got a free burrito. <br /><br />Our youngest son and wife are visiting this weekend and we are enjoying them and their dog. Have a good weekend all!<br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-77317127405227125022016-06-03T17:10:07.461-04:002016-06-03T17:10:07.461-04:00You have been busy but I'm so proud of how you...You have been busy but I'm so proud of how you kept things very frugal even with having family visit. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.com
