    Default I'm new here

    Hello everyone. I am a grandmother from cold snowy Iowa. I have three sons, all grown, six grandchildren, and 4 and 1/2 greatgrandchildren. I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning frugal tips and ideas to make life easier. I am mostly homebound with lots of medical problems so need to watch my pennies. But I am sure there are lots of tips that will help make everything easier plus getting new friends in the process.

    Welcome to the village from the DM metro. I grew up in West Central Illinois--right over the bridge from SE IA. Fun area.
