Bailey installed the cell phone holder in my car that evening. Here is a photo of it ready to go for our next yard sale day. I use Google Maps to create a list of Friday and a list of Saturday yard sales and then check them off as we go to each one.
Another fun activity from this week is this from Miami’s underwater
What I've been Reading This Week
I’m sure it broke your heart when your mom asked to go home. I hope she can come home soon. Sounds like you had a great birthday and Mother’s Day. Happy belated birthday to you!! 🎈 no on the destination wedding unless it was my child!! The dad who is going to Ukraine is crazy! 🤪
ReplyDeleteI was not having to sign in. I would post as usual, but the comment would not show up. I was stymied. It seems to be back to normal. All the solutions people gave made no sense to me since the same thing was not happening to me. Since you have moderation, I have to come back later to see if my comment made it through if I can remember.
ReplyDeleteMy next birthday cake will be an ice cream cake. Chocolate frosting is the only part of birthday cake I like.
Those weather stations are neat. I have always wanted one.
The father who won't go to his daughter's destination wedding is mean and rude. How dare he go to Europe on the chance he meets someone and not to her wedding. That said, I think destination weddings are ridiculous unless you are trying to cut people out of attending.
ReplyDeleteNow, the only problem I am having with commenting is not being able to see your blog as I comment so I cannot scroll back up and see what you wrote that I want to comment on in the comment box.
I didn't leave the country but went from Pennsylvania to Myrtle beach for my nephews wedding two weeks ago. Left on a Thursday and came home on a Tuesday. It was wonderful to see him get married. If I could afford to go, why not?
ReplyDeleteGreat on your savings with the phone! It sure all adds up today. Your meals all sound good.
ReplyDeleteI hear more and more that people are having trouble with blogger. I wish they would quit changing stuff and leave things alone.
Have a nice weekend. HUGS to mom!!!!
I had only Google users could comment on my blog due to some nasty anonymous comments. I have reset it to all readers can comment. I hope this helps you should you decide to comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteNice frugal week you had. Gosh I sound like Yoda talks. lol
Happy Birthday! I had a Mother's Day Birthday week too. I turned 62 yesterday.
ReplyDeleteA cell phone bill of $200 a month is too high I am so happy you got it lowered. It is so hard to tell your mom that you could not take her home.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipes for meatballs! Thank you for posting that. Nice job on saving some cash on your phone plan I didn't know that you could get a discount that way. Im gonna have to look into that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Belinda! Sounds like you had a great weekend combining it with Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog - one of my favorites!
Ahh, I just bet it broke your heart to have to leave your Mom.
ReplyDeleteThe meatball recipe looks really good. Thanks for posting it.
Nope I would not spend money on a destination wedding especially to Mexico, heard too many horror stories. However since he has already spent loads of money going to the Ukraine to meet a woman who never shows up, he should darn well spend the cash to attend the wedding.
God bless.
Belated Happy Birthday wishes! Sounds like a great birthday and Mother's day! The weather station is such a cool gift. The cell phone holder will be so handy for planning your yard sale routes. Yum on the pizza and ice cream!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool blanket! Glad that your mom is healing ok, and hopefully she will get stronger each day.
I probably wouldn't go to a destination wedding unless it was my child.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day! I would recommend checking out Mint Mobile, that uses T-Mobile cell towers. It's like 15-30/month and even cheaper if you pay upfront for 6 months or a year. I think we paid less than 300 for 6 months for 3 lines, and we moved from overpriced Verizon (190/mo) with no problems, sim cards were fedexed in 2 days. Just check that T-Mobile works well in your area.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Belinda! I hope it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteTO answer your question, of course I would go to my child's destination wedding!
I know it was hard to leave your mom at the rehab facility after she asked to go home with you.
Wishing you lots of luck with your yard sales!
Happy Birthday Belinda!
ReplyDeletePraying for your mom's recovery. Leaving them can be so hard.
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. It was a nice day spent at home this year. I’m very sad about my Mom leaving as my sister and her dh came to get her and take her back with them to Michigan for a while till she can get better. I miss her terribly.
ReplyDeletePenny, it did break my heart. I just wanted to take her home with me.
Lana, thank you for the birthday wishes.
Linda, I am still unable to post a comment on your blog, unfortunately.
Cheryl, yes, I wish Blogger would stop changing stuff too or at least fix what is broken. Lol
Sluggy, thank you so much for fixing your blog so I can post on it again.
Kim, I agree that $200 is too much for a cell phone bill. I should have said that also included our Internet. I love that I was able to get it lowered.
Anne, thank you for the birthday wishes. We had a lot of fun at the yard sales this weekend.
Donna, I would love to use T Mobile, but it does not work where we live. Verizon is the only company that will work out here, unfortunately. Thank you so much for the suggestion though.
Kathy, the new cell phone holder works so well! I enjoyed it so much better this weekend.
Jackie, let me know if you try the meatball recipe, it’s a keeper.
Thank you all for reading my blog. The comments are weird right now, I know. We’ll just try to make the best of it. I hope you all have a great Sunday and week ahead!
Amy Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been harder than I thought it would be. Thank you for the support.
ReplyDeleteI know I left a comment other than the one that showed up here. Yes, I would go to my child's destination wedding! The guy is foolish to even go abroad in hopes of meeting someone.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is crazy for not going to his daughters wedding! She will probably not be able to forget that. I’m still unable to comment on your blog. I sure wish I could.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it helped Belinda. I just wish they had a reply button don't you?
ReplyDeleteYour Mom breaks my heart too..It must have been so hard to leave. Stay strong!
