MARILYN Sorry to hear you're having issues but it's probably smart to have the tests done and see what's causing it. Hope it's nothing and you'll be feeling better soon

Hot Dog!

My electric bill is going to be under 100 dollars for next month, as I am using no heat or AC. That is wonderful. Maybe I can start replacing the money I took out of my savings to buy the car. That would be super. I will also try...

The New Cook in the Family

celticeagle @celticeagle (173651) • Boise, Idaho 27 Apr

I think that my grandson is becoming quite the cook. He has done a few things over the last few years. He helps his mom a lot in the kitchen. But, recently, he has taken on the role of cook, no longer helper. Right now we are...

MARILYN If your grandson enjoys cooking then he'll create some really good meals. Looking forward to hearing about some of the dishes he comes up with and how lucky for you that you get to enjoy them.

MARILYN It always feels good when you see the bank go over that $5 mark. I'm still a bit away and I doubt I'll hit it this month. But, as you say, it's just fun being here and the money is a bonus.
