Hubby out of the blue a couple weeks ago was contacted through LinkedIn by a recruiter. He decided to go for the interview, and, well, long story short, he starts the new job on Monday! Woo-hoo! This means we are getting a HUGE (like $1500+ a month) raise! Our tax refunds will pay off our...

One of the elderly ladies called me this afternoon and asked if I wanted any beans. I said I'd love some even though I've already froze about 50 bags. I went over to pick them and she also gave me a bunch of rhubarb and enough beets to probably make 8 pints of beet pickles. I just froze...

I'd never come across the term "blessed" in common language until I came to this board. Originally I took it to mean blessed in a religious context but lately I think it's used here in a non-secular context - meaning that good things will happen. It seems to have a few meanings, not all of...

I decided to go into Brandon today and visit a friend I hadn't seen for quite some time. I met her when I first moved to the country and we hit it off immediately. She owned a dollar store and sold quilting material in the store. She closed the store and move to the city. She gave...
