paigea @fawkes62 I always put a limit on what I would spend on things too. If they wanted to spend more; they were responsible for the difference. It taught them to be frugal on some things so they had money for what they really wanted.

rebelann1949 BBbbbrrrrr, @fawkes62 I think I like it hot better than what you get up yonder. The difference is we don't get the lush green you probably have, it's usually quite arid regardless of time of year.
