A few things about our weekend and my husbands blog.........

Posted on Monday, October 13, 2008 at 10:44

We had a busy but beautiful weekend. On Saturday we had to get our eyes checked and I just can't believe how expensive it is and we have insurance. I just don't know what people that don't have insurance do?

We both had to get new glasses and I am going to order contacts. I usually wear my contacts all the time but I am thinking I will have to wear my glasses more I am hoping it will save us a little money on contact maintance.

We stopped at the mall nearby and bought the girls a few shirts for the cooler monthes. No... we adults didn't get anything new we are going to have to either wear what we have or make a goodwill stop:) I just can't believe how high things have gotten. I looked at a very pretty sweater and they wanted $75.00 Yikes! No new sweater for me:)

We did have a nice meal out which is the first for this month:) Our goal is one nice meal out and two fast food meals out which is usually Subway.  By the way or nice meal out costed us $ 50.00 which isn't too bad :) Although add another  $25.00  and I could have had a new sweater.

We had a wonderful day yesterday we went to church then came home for a rest day.  We got few things done around the house and outside. We need to make our garden beds soon:)  I also need to put plastic on our bedroom windows which seems to help some on our electric bill. There are many other odd jobs we would like to get done and if the weather stays nice hopefully they will get done:)

Our garden is really growing great!  We will be getting brocolli soon and we are still getting lettuce Yum!  We also planted onions and garlic for next year. If you don't do this you should try it. It is great having something growing all through the winter monthes and the onions and garlic are wonderful!!  We haven't built the beds yet for the greenhouse. Don't worry we will:)

I almost forgot my husband is now a feature writer on another blog. I know you will enjoy it!  You can learn about it on his blog www.gardendesk.com  I know Marc would love for you to add a comment if you have time.

I hope you have a blessed day,

Ma  (aka Renee)

go back to that store in 4 months, look at that sweater again, and I bet it will be less than $25. If you are lucky, and it is still there! LOL!
