Happy first Sunday of October to you all. I pray you are all well and safe. It is a chilly morning here, around 50*F, going into the 70's later on. Yesterday was such a gorgeous day - there was not a single cloud in the sky around here. Pure blue. Then at sunset last night, I had never seen anything so vivid and wonderful before. Reds, oranges, pinks and so very bright. The western sky was just on fire - it was something to see!
This past Friday I rode with my brother and SIL to southern IN (about 75 miles) for Fred's funeral. We didn't get to go the way we have for years (road work) and took the new way, I-69. It may have been a little faster, but so boring. If the leaves had been changing it would have been pretty - but they are not yet. There was nothing to see but trees - I am just so used to going down there and seeing smalls towns, lakes, farms, and fields. We gathered, there was so much family there, and I got to see so many nieces and nephews that I haven't seen in ages and even met some new little ones. It was terribly sad, but good as well, with the communion of the family. I love them all so much! There was a lot of love gathered there. Blessed.
My frugal week:
- Raked some and picked up sticks and things in yard
- Did a little additional yard work in the flower beds
- Sweet neighbor behind me - gave me some apples. They had gone to the orchard and saw me outside and shared a few
- Trimmed my hair
- I got address labels in the mail - I haven't received any of those in a long, long time
- Laundry and hanging clothes to dry
- Paid a couple bills by phone
- NO grocery store
- Scrubbed the bathroom down
- General cleaning
Budget friendly meals this past week:
French bread pizza
Cheesy goulash
Chicken tenders and a big salad
Breaded pork chop, fried egg and toast
Pulled pork & refried bean tostadas (topped w/tomatoes)
Grilled cheese (when I got back from funeral) - long day
Taco rice bowl
SNACKS - tomatoes, cucumbers, fruit, popcorn
See, nothing much going on here this week. How was your week? Did you accomplish a lot? Any good deals? Inquiring minds need to know?? LOL
I truly hope each of you have a wonderful week ahead. Stay so very safe and healthy. Keep the people you love close.
Blessings to you and yours from me at my humble little home.
