I've got sooo much to do and need some energy to
do it all!
Yesterday I got 4 boxes of stuff weeded out
and a load of laundry done and dried
right before it rained. That's the problem
with line drying, having to keep a careful
eye on the weather. I almost forgot
my clothes out on the line when
the storm was approaching.
While it stormed here I didn't think
it was too severe. But when we left
to go to Newark and headed down Morse Rd.
by Easton they had lanes on Morse Rd.
closed down due to downed power lines
and trees. Some smaller trees were
completely blown over.

Yesterday on the way to Newark we stopped
in a Speedway. I snatched up a bunch more
coupons hanging from their 2 liter pop bottles.
Pop is on sale at Kroger this week so that's

3-in-one recycled sweatpants.
Been going through clothes weeding them out.
If I see pants that still fit around the
waist but have holes, then I cut the bottoms
off and make into shorts. I zig zag stitch
around the bottom of the shorts.
The extra bottom pieces become rags and
the elastic becomes pony tail holders.
Not school attire but an extra pair
can be wore around the house to play in.

MONEY SAVING TIPS
I keep an ice cream bucket in the freezer and put any vegetable that is left over in it. Sometimes it might just be a tablespoon. When the bucket is full I make veggie soup. I save gravy the same way to use as a base for stew or casseroles etc.

Easy Oven Cleaner
On the day before you plan to clean the oven, sprinkle baking
soda into the bottom and spray it with water. Close the door
and leave it over night. It is astonishing how the soda will
release the dried-on gunk. Your oven will need wiping out and
not much more!

If you think outside the box like we
do then you can see past the dirtiness
and some repairs it needs.
