A little up date and a Link to Something Awesome - Check it out!

Hello~ I just thought I would take a minute and write a short post. Things here have been moving right along. Our temperatures hit the triple digit mark again today. I was curious as to how many triple digit temps we have had this summer so far and so far I have not been able to find out. If I do, I will let you know. I am so very thankful it has not been a summer full of the triple digit weather. We have had more than our fair share of those over the last few years.

Oh my goodness - I found out about a new - to me- author- Susan Branch. Here book are fabulous!!! Brenda over at Coffee Tea Books and Me has a great post about Susan's new book - "A Fine Romance" looks like an awesome book. I will certainly be looking for these books - now that I know about them. Have any of you ladies heard of these books before? What did you think? Be sure and click on over to Brenda's blog and check the book out. Trust me - it is great!

Well things have been tight around here lately. That is no surprise, summers are usually tight for us. Our electric bill is about 100.00 + higher than usual so that makes a big difference. I am learning to watch prices of things and go to where I can get things the cheapest. Well we try the cheapest and if we like it - we will use that product. I don't see why I should pay higher prices - just of the convenience of having it all at one store. I am very lucky- I have 3 stores within about a mile of each other - that is about a 15-20 minute drive from here. And I am going to start being more careful. Go to where I can get the best prices. The main stores that I go to are - Aldi's, WalMart, and HEB. With the prices of so many things going up - it is just very important to choose wisely what you will spend your money on.

I hope you all are doing well. I hope you have a relaxing week end! :o)
