We've gotten to know some of the employees and so it's like running into friends every single week.

I...Once again Debra, I've been there done that!<br />I make much wiser choices now...or try to. Sometimes it's not about saving a few cents if I know the place to shop that provides the biggest savings will also charge for my sanity. I'll make a revised list of necessities to get me by and go to the store that charges a bit more...that is more "peaceful".

When I go to the grocery store, I try to remind myself to be thankful I have the money to buy groceries this week.<br /><br />Those flowers are so pretty. I love wild flowers that most people call weeds. Would you believe that those are called Deptford Pink? I have a wildflower book and I am always looking up the names of flowers we find on our walks.Robin in New Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373250627112138763noreply@blogger.com
