Ooops!  Forgot my daily photo.  My son Isaac and his family are moving today.  So this photo is in his honor!  (Wish I was there to help!  Love you guys!)
Ron and I just watched a really great documentary on Netflix about food.  "Food Matters".  Take a look.

Great site I just found out about.  Authors can post links to their e-books.  Most are cheap or even free.

Last night my granddaughter held an auction of her original artwork.  Present: parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.  She auctioned her "art", even making recommendations of which one we each of us should bid on!

I was feeling a little down today.  Mostly because I messed up on one of my jobs yesterday.  When I was young and did that type of thing...I just shrugged and fixed it.  Now I think "old age" when I mess up.  I hate that!


Photo of the day:  Where I WISH I was right now!

Wow, have I been busy lately!  It's that time of year for one of my mystery shopping employers to do their big audits.  I have been going to movies for TWO DAYS straight.  (Hey it's a rough job, but somebody has to do it! Tomorrow is my last day.

I promise I will hook you up with some money-saving stuff really soon.   And here is a photo for good measure:


Now doesn't that look relaxing!  I took this photo in Santa Barbara CA last year.  I wish I was back there now...

When I moved into a Seniors mobile home park, I thought it would be really quiet.  HA!  Sunday morning...7 am...neighbor throwing heavy objects of some sort into his huge diesel truck...clunk, clunk, clunk, CLUNK..diesel...diesel...diesel...slammed his four doors at least 20 times..then finally drove off.  Really?  At 7 am?  On SUNDAY?  Every morning SOMEONE is up at the crack of dawn doing SOMETHING really noisy.

Anyway, enough ranting.  Here is a link for you today:  http://www.savingadvice.com

They have lots of great money saving advice.
