I am thankful for free tickets to a new museum in town, the friend who sent me a link for the tickets, the friend who went with me, and the opportunity to go. It was amazing! We were both really impressed.
What are you thankful for today?

Last Week’s Frugal Accomplishments
Every day last week I harvested something from the garden. I cut snow peas, Swiss chard, parsley, asparagus and green onions, and picked lettuce, radishes, spinach, a couple of strawberries, and beet greens. I cut flowers from the garden for our table. We ate outside every night as the weather was beautiful each evening. The…
This Week’s Goals
I mistakenly thought that having a shorter list last week would make it easier to accomplish my goals. Then my family got the flu–one child on Tuesday, three late Wednesday night, one Thursday morning, and the baby and I Friday night. Now my husband is feeling ill as well. Last week’s list was tossed. Instead, I:…
A Question For My Readers
The phone bill came yesterday. It was significantly larger than normal. I have no long distance, no caller id, and no call waiting, and I’ve saved a significant amount not paying for each of those over the years. The increase was enough to make the change to getting a cell phone. I haven’t had a…
Last Week’s Frugal Accomplishments
The most amazing part about my week was watching a baby chick hatch out of an egg. The mother hen got off the nest just in time for me to see the chick hatch all the way out. Of all the things I have seen in my life, this one was one of the best….
Last Week’s Frugal Accomplishments
I picked blackberries from the garden. I also cut Swiss chard and green onions from the garden this week. I harvested 2 small Early Girl tomatoes. They are already quite small because of the intense heat. Usually they are bigger at this time of year, so I don’t know if my other ones will be…
Washing Windows For Pennies
When we moved into our house, we gutted it. In the living room/our dining area, we knocked out the entire wall. We took out the corner fireplace (the first thing to go), the windows, the sliding doors, and made a new wall, with tall windows and French doors. It’s a lot of windows to wash,…
I am thankful for your dedication to this blog. The information you and others have shared over the years have helped me to help my family, myself and others. There were times when life was giving me a hard day and I would read about your children or others’ lives and it would turn my day around.
I am thankful for a day at home mostly, to cook gifted pie pumpkins and put up a gallon of pumpkin. I love pumpkin!
I am thankful to the person who returned three sets of military service medals
to a thrift store which in turn donated them to our military museum. They belonged
to my friend’s late father and grandfather. They had been in the possession of her brother who died.
She is very grateful.
I am thankful to all those who fought in World War I and II. Tomorrow is Canadian Remembrance Day. I pray for peace.
I am thankful my last hope to get financial help to replace my hvac, instead discovered it wasn’t actually broken. A year without heat and ac, and it turns out the thermostat which was initially replaced to fix the issue, got power, but was not actually functioning when installed. No less than 5 repairman said it was the furnace that needed replacing. This person checked the wiring connections and determined the new thermostat was faulty. This is a $20k savings!
Wow! So happy for you!
That’s a miracle, Maria, and I am so happy for you!
You have to wonder how often this happens. Glad you finally got a reputable repairman.
I am thankful for my daughter’s phone call today. Was having a crabby day and I am grateful to chat with her about her life at University.

I am thankful for the ability to access medical care. It is truly a miracle when you think about it!
I am thankful for the continued abundance in our garden. My husband in particular works hard in the garden to produce vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers and due to our mild climate ( southern UK) we are going into winter with fresh veg to pick and plenty in storage. I am thankful for this every day.
How wonderful to go to a museum and see things in a new way!
I am grateful for my colleagues from our previous employer and the good memories we share of work well done.
Brandy…is that you at the bottom in the museum photo? I expanded photo but still not sure. Looks very interesting, whatever it is!
Remember the chaos in our world and pray for peace.

Yes! I went with my friend! We had a wonderful time. We went with zero expectations, not knowing almost anything about it, and were delighted!
I am thankful for my husband and I having finished up all the winter chores outside, except for putting the grill away because it will be nice this week and I am going to partial grill hamburgers to freeze for the winter. I just pop them into the oven when we want burgers and they taste fresh off the grill! Saves going out to a restaurant to have that grilled flavor. Looking forward to the resting season of winter where most things aren’t on a timetable to beat the cold weather.
I am thankful for all the veterans in my life and in service to this country.
