Happy Sunday, Happy February!!! Hope this finds all well and safe. Welp, here we are in a new month. We are halfway through this thing called winter! Today marks the halfway point between winter solstice and spring equinox. I see old 'Phil' saw his shadow - so 6 more weeks of winter (maybe just on East coast)! Well, that is to be expected - nothing new! I say 6 weeks until Spring!!!! Sounds better LOL.
I didn't get a lot done this week, as I just didn't feel well. That is a very rare occurrence for me. I had chills, no matter how warm it was outdoors, I was freezing indoors. I had a temperature and got fever blisters inside my lips. This lasted a good couple days. I tried everything from natural to medicinal to help the blisters - nothing helped. I then started some big doses of echinacea and within hours, my lips started to heal. I love nature's antibiotics. They are fine now, and I feel much better. Yesterday was only in the low 40's and I opened windows a bit and didn't get cold!! So, this coming week, will be a big catch-up week!
My frugal week:
- I did work outside a little and picked up sticks and did a little yard clean-up
- I ran out one day - and went to Kroger to get special on eggs. LOL - none to be had! First day of sale as well!! (that is OK, I still have plenty). I did get some veggies on clearance. 3 bags of radishes (I love radishes), romaine lettuce and some nut/raisin trial mix
- I ran into Aldi while out and only got a couple things. Fruit!
- While out I got a FREE car wash. Had a coupon from a gift book, so free was great and it was badly needed!!
- I put away all scarves, gloves, and boots (hopefully for season)
- I did remove anything that appeared to be winter decoration! All put away and looking forward to spring
- I watched some You Tube videos on food pantry hauls. Pretty neat what people can get to help out their families. I also watched some on tiny homes
- Laundry - furniture throws, throw rugs and cleaning rags
- Just doing odds and ends - basic cleaning and straightening. Nothing big or exciting here!
My meals this past week:
I still had an appetite - so ate well
French bread pizza - homemade
Leftover day - just whatever needed used - (a real mishmash)
Nachos
Tuna patty sandwich and salad
Veggie/pork stir fry over tri-colored pasta
Small beef filet, onion rings and tiny salad
Meatballs/broccoli/gravy over rice
All made from ingredients here at home.
SNACKS - fruit, cut up veggies, bits of leftovers
There you have it -nothing exciting at all. I sure hope to get more done this coming week. How has your week been? Did you get anything on a deal this week? Spring cleaning yet?
Thank you all for the great conversations this week. We had new people post as well - I like that. It is always fun to see new folks.
I hope you all have a safe and healthy week. Blessings to you and yours from me at my humble little home.

Luke 11: 9-10
Lord, help us each to realize that our needs will be met in Your time. Keep us from getting worried and bothered about 'what ifs' and realize that we will be fine. Guide us to find what we need and help us each to understand a tolerable and caring heart and attitude. Please protect us all. Amen
