A Dear Friend's Inspiration

An old college friend of mine has been saving

outrageous sums of money on her grocery bills

by utilizing coupons, sales, and discount grocery stores.

I thought I would try to follow in her footsteps.

I printed some coupons off the internet

of things I knew we would use.

Then, I was off to the store.

Some of my items were on sale

making my savings even greater.

I was extremely excited and could not wait to see how

much we had saved.

When I got to the checkout line, I had the rudest

clerk ever. All my thrills were

dashed by her mannerisms.

She mumbled so I could not hear

anything she was saying, she looked unhappy to be

there, and at the end of all that ringing, she warned me that

some internet coupons are counterfeit. How do you

get a counterfeit coupon!? I use coupon mom and grocery coupon

network and have never had any problems.

Here is my small fortune. All this cost $50,

but I was able to save $15 from coupons.

So my grand total was just over $35.

Not a bad start, but next time I hope

to save a lot more.

Happy shopping everyone.

Girls Camp

This year, Savannah got to attend her very first girls camp. Here she is with Morgan, another first timer. Not sure how Savannah would have done without Sister Skroski. She showed Savannah the ropes and really took care of her in my absence. Savannah all excited to leave. I can only guess what these last few pictures are. Savannah had a great time and Larry was there as a priesthood chaperone so she was not completely alone. This summer was a summer of firsts for my girl. She had her first girls camp, her first youth Temple trip and her first talk in sacrament. Wow!

Merry Christmas

12 Wonderful Years

Saturday was mine and Larry's 12 year anniversary. We enjoyed an absolute wonderful weekend together. Larry was able to get off work friday at a decent time and did not have to go in on saturday. And on Sunday, he did not have the early morning church meetings, so we were able to drive together. As a matter of fact, we were able to enjoy a beautiful Christmas cantata on a gorgeous Sabbath morning. Friday evening we enjoyed Don't ask me how I talked Larry Denzil into this, but I did and I enjoyed every minute of it. This was such a happy, girlie movie and I truly did enjoy every moment of it. I love musicals and especially love music of the 70's. I could remember so many of the songs as if they were new. Listening to them in my dad's '73 camaro as he picked me up from the day care. Wow, how time flies. On saturday, I enjoyed breakfast that Larry prepared with the kids. It was so nice to not have to cook. Notice I did not say clean. He did leave the mess fo
