She is very frugal and she wants things in life and is working very hard to accomplish those things. She has even taught me a lesson or two. Snow already in September is early! I do like the colder weather though.

You'd think being in the high desert we wouldn't have that challenge. End of Sept. we went from in the 80's one day to 36 the next day and then it snowed! Yep, snow! Weird. Trying to plan for everything we need plus Christmas needs and presents taken care of early. My immune system is bad so I get sick if anyone even looks sick around me. I will try to stay out of stores between Thanksgiving and through the end of the year as much as possible. Or go only early in the morning or late at night if I need stuff. Luckily most of our stores are 24 hours a day around here. That and hand sanitizer and just being super careful. I can't afford to end up in the hospital. Sounds like you are getting things done too. Glad you get to work so much right now. That makes it very nice. Love to hear about things you and your daughter get at sales or what you sell. Would love to see pictures of your daughter on your blog too. She must be a great kid / adult and so frugal already. Sounds like you are teaching her right! Take care.Crystal Hankeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914175004653234554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-61285315830812098752019-10-07T17:40:00.996-04:002019-10-07T17:40:00.996-04:00Monday 10/7's high is 71*.

I soak them overnight and then put then in my pressure cooker in the morning with an onion and 1 tbsp of salt per pound of beans and let them cook for 85 minutes so they are good and soupy. <br /><br />Kudos to you for not eating out with your guests being with you. That takes real determination sometimes. <br /><br />This morning was a little bit cooler and I am so grateful.

You had a great week, it sounds like! ...Hi Belinda,<br />You had a great week, it sounds like! Good work on all fronts. How do you make October beans?<br /><br />We have some very last-minute guests this weekend, making meal-planning a bit of a challenge. But we're coming up with good meals with what we have and very limited extra spending at the store. I had some extra in the grocery budget, so at least the additional food is covered. We'll be back to normal on Monday. We considered eating out for a couple of meals, but in the end thought that cooking at home would be more relaxing and save the most money.<br /><br />I envy your summer-like weather. We are in fall, cool to chilly days and nights.<br />Have a great weekend!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-17047782314872197762019-10-05T13:35:04.827-04:002019-10-05T13:35:04.827-04:00The upside of having to do so much for Mom is that...The upside of having to do so much for Mom is that it leaves me little time to do anything that requires spending money. I thought I had a flat the other day, and went to the tire store I use. It turns out I only had 2 low tires, so they filled them with air and sent me on my way. I figure they did not charge me anything knowing I will be back to buy new tires from them when they are needed. I did feel obligated to tip the guy who checked all the tires and filled the two low ones. Still it was so much cheaper than buying a new tire.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-44052919301646873962019-10-05T10:41:27.388-04:002019-10-05T10:41:27.388-04:00Our state doesn't know what season it is.
