Many people like to sit in coffee shops, drink their morning coffee, and read the newspaper. Libraries and Doctor’s Offices. Ask your local library, dentist, or doctor if you can have the coupons from their old magazine and newspaper subscriptions. My favorite is All You Magazine. Coffee Shops and Airports.

Examples of this are finding an outfit for a wedding, lawn equipment, or a food processor for preparing meals for a large family gathering. Entertainment.

I search around the internet, use atlas information and check out travel books in the library and bookstore. There were certain things that were must see, must do for me – such as touring Windsor palace and eating British food in a pub, but I had each of our son’s pick at least one thing they wanted to do.

While it gets repetitive to eat the same thing over, and over, and OVER, I am reminded that I should be thankful to not only have food on our table each night, but to have an abundance of food at that!
