While we have had our share of violence in the country during our lifetimes, there has been no all out war, such as our great-grandfathers suffered during the Civil War or our founding fathers and mothers endured during the Revolution. Here are some of the things I think make us rich. No war inside our boundaries. Technology. Indoor plumbing.
Family Balance Sheet

I took an unexpected blog break last week because of the death of my grandfather. We took breaks for lunch and went back outside until dinner. Thanks for reading. He was a wonderful man whose passions were his faith, his family, and his farm. Our summers were spent outside. I would never let my kids do that today--EWWW!)

to Grandfather’s house we go; . I’m pretty sure I always sang it as Grandmother’s house, which is weird since we actually went to my Grandfather’s house for holidays. First it was just stuffing and dinner rolls. We try to make the dinner last a fair amount of time, since it takes so long to prepare.

I knew she had a few dollars from her recent 2 lost teeth and a visit from her grandfather. Making her bed, setting the dinner table, and putting her clean clothes away are all things she does now. Thanks for reading. Mommy : "You are being very good and I appreciate that, but that is not what we came in for today."

Last week I told you that my hubby and I were headed to BC to visit my grandfather whom I hadn’t seen in 8 years. Then we went for a real nice dinner and dessert. I am getting better at it, thanks to yoga, but it is still a battle most days. Well this week I wanted to give you an update on how the trip went.
The Frugal Girl

He loved it, although his mother asked him at the rehearsal dinner if he shouldn’t go get a haircut! ? My mother grew up on a farm, and from her accounts my grandmother and grandfather (who also was a foreman at the local glass factory, along with being an independent farmer) were frugal, and sometimes times were tight.

Tomorrow, my hubby and I are headed to Vancouver to visit my Grandfather and his wife. This trip is very important because I have not seen my grandfather in 10 years, a whole decade! My grandfather wasn’t well enough to fly in for the wedding but he did send a gift in the mail along with his blessing. Any tips to share?
