I don't know why, but the other day I remembered how, in "the old days", it was so much fun to find a ten dollar bill that I had forgotten about in a pocket or a purse that I had not used in a while. I never carry cash anymore and always use my debit card. What an inconvenience it is when I need to pay with cash, 'cause then I usually need to stop by the bank first - the drive thru, of course, or when I have to write a check. Because of my "plastic money", I am
It's January. Wow! So what have you been doing? Are you busy? Are you relaxing? Are you shivering? Are you shoveling? All of the above? None of the above? Oh, I have so much to chat about!

Happy Thanksgiving my favorite people! It's the eve of Thanksgiving as I start writing this post and I have made all of my foods for tomorrow. It's just us, which is easy and not easy. We do not have to make a big deal out of getting ready and cleaning. Phew.
