This is the last of my February catch-up posts. Thanks for bearing with me. Last month three Trader Joe’s food stores opened in Colorado. Two are in Denver and one is in Boulder. They’re all about 1 – 1 1/2 hours from here, which is the closest we’ve lived to a TJs in a long … Read more
You might or might not remember my post from when we first moved to Florida in 2010. When we have to move from one military assignment to another, we often will relinquish some of our pantry goods and cleaning wares. Such as vinegar, soy sauce, household cleaners, Lysol sprays, and any perishables in the fridge and freezer. … Read more
Happy Black Friday friends! I occasionally have done the first-thing-in-the-morning thing on Black Friday. Of course, that was back when Black Friday had a morning to it. Now it’s more of a Black Thursday Night, since that’s when you have to get going to make it to the stores for the “doorbusters”. I’m too old, … Read more
Today Dave’s parents came into town. I had to drive out to Panama City Beach to their relatively new airport to pick them up. It was a nice drive, about 90 minutes. Once you get east of the congestion in Destin, the highway really opens up and it’s a very low stress drive the rest … Read more

In my case, things like ketchup, salad dressings, peanut butter and jelly and my stores of frozen foods. So today I replenished the stocks. … Read more
Today I learned one of the impacts of a mid-school-year move. This afternoon I ventured out for the school supplies the boys need for their new school. Their first day is tomorrow. Dave brought home the school supply list last month after he registered the boys for their new school. Whoa! Not only was the … Read more
Okay, for me personally, it’s a day late and a dollar short…since we’re leaving in a week. I’m a huge Trader Joe’s fan! I can’t say exactly when I first went there. I know it was about 10 years ago and it was either the one in Commack, NY with my in-laws, or else in … Read more
I have a link to Amazon on the left. If you buy from Amazon by clicking through this blog, I guess I get Amazon.com credit or something. I thought it was cute, so for the remainder of holiday shopping, feel free to check it out. It’s allegedly showing you things that it thinks readers of … Read more
