variety of items. The one on Karl Road pretty much
had decorations while the one on Henderson Road had
decorations, baskets and lots of candy.
They had smaller chocolate bunnies for .25 cents,
Brachs real juice jelly beans .37 cents,
their HUGE rabbits were about $3.00
along with many others.
Those one bunnies were about the size of my
forearm!
You could use those chocolate bunnies
to chop up and put in baking goodies!
Just break up into pieces and put in
a zip bag in the freezer.

NOTE TO SELF:
Do not let hubby and kids do any science
projects in oven!!
Went to use my oven tonight and it smoked
like a freight train from whatever those
three did in there and splattered all
over the bottom of the oven.
I had to turn it off and load my 2 cookies
sheets with pizzas in the truck and down
the street to mom's house to bake!
Need to clean oven now, oh what fun!

We set a record high today. I know at the moment
it is 83. Record was 82 degrees.
Now time for the temps to go back to 50's and 60's
with some rain. It's a tease to us all! It
sure felt great having the windows open
and a breeze flowing through the house.

Trying to teach my step-dad a thing or two of saving
money. For starters he buys tons of yard bags each
year because he bags his grass. That takes too much
time and energy if you ask me along with the
expense of the bags. So we now got his lawn mower
set up to mulch. And instead of taking his mower
to a lawn mower shop each year for a tune up
we went down and removed his blade and Tony
is taking it to work to put on a grinder to
sharpen. And I'm sure Tony could do the basic
maintenance on it for him to save about
$80 each year!
There are so many people out there set in their
ways of doing things that they don't want to cut
back even the littlest things! Even if it means
they don't have the money like they used to.
Cutting back doesn't have to be one big huge item.
It can be many little items! Those little items
add up and can be costly over time. Let's give
an example:
yard bags don't seem like nothing.
Let's say you fill 5 bags each week with grass
clippings. There's about $3.50 each week.
Now times that by 24 weeks of cutting grass.
(May to October)
That adds up to $84 each year! And that's just one little expense
that didn't seem like a whole lot!
Next thing they did was cut back their newspaper
from daily to Wednesday and Sunday. I'm sure
that's even a bigger savings!
So my whole point is even the littlest things
count in a big way when saving money in the long run.

Here is my radiator repair on the tracker.
The JB Weld was not strong enough to
hold up to the pressure of the radiator.
So now it looks like $200 going towards
another one :0( It was worth a try though.
