Weekend Coming

 Hello and happy Thursday to all.  Hoping you are all doing well.  Here we are coming into another weekend and soon the last week of the month!  Where did it go????

It was 48* upon my rising this morning outdoors and 70* in the house.  Not too snaggy!  We have been on repeat most of this week and will continue to be for many days.  The weather here is just lovely.

I saw on the news this morning that Arizona is having rain and hail, and lots of it.  Hope all you gals out that way are safe and don't get any damage.

Yes indeed.  Acquiring much, as in money can make you rich dollar wise - but you may lose a lot of other things.  Free time, serenity, no stress, family time, etc.  Desiring less lets us have less debt, perhaps work a little less, joy and happiness, no stress (about $), more family time, etc.  I like the trade off - so I am happy living a lifestyle without abundance of stuff.

However, I do have an abundance of other things, that means more than money.  Seems good to me.

The weekend is coming up, and in the fall, there are usually fun things to do that cost very little.  Of course, we all have yard work, and final harvests, and house cleaning.  But there are festivals, and nature walks, and pumpkins fields to go to, orchards, just all kinds of things that can be done for very little.  Hoping everyone has some decent weather and can get out and enjoy it some.

I think I may do some porch sitting this weekend too!

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Hey, I just want to put this out here, for those that have Aldi in their areas.  Thanksgiving is coming up here in the U.S. and I am sure some are wondering how they can afford it.

Aldi has all the fixings for a smaller group for $39!  Click on above to enlarge to read easily.

Now you DON'T have to get exactly what they mention - it is not a pre-packaged deal.  You can substitute things for others - this is just a basic guideline.  Don't like peas - get corn or green beans.   Making your own stuffing from bread you have - get something to replace the stuffing mix.  

Having a lot of people - get this deal at Aldi - then have other people bring a dish and BOOM you have tons of food.

Did a cat food run yesterday - and noticed Kroger had eggs 1.39 doz. regular price now.  Couple weeks ago, I got 18 packs of eggs for 2.19 (large).  Also notice many canned veggies were lowered in price as was pasta.

Start shopping now if you are having a big family meal for the holiday.  Look for the bargains and get things from clearance.

ALSO remember there is nothing etched in stone that says you have to have a traditional holiday meal!!!

A big pot of soup, chili, lasagna, spaghetti, pork, chicken, anything at all is fine!  It should never be about the food - but family, friends and neighbors and being THANKFUL!

So there is my public service announcement for the day!!!!!!!  LOL

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and get to enjoy some good weather.  Make some memories and have a little fun.  It doesn't have to cost anything, just have fun.  Farm markets will be ending soon for most areas, so maybe go and walk around one and just look and people watch - FREE!  Have lunch at the park!  Play in the leaves!  Just ENJOY!

Have a beautiful day!
