I read the meter everyday at noon. The past two days have been bad. I need to stay about $5 per day or under 60 kph. The past two days, It has read over 60 kph. It is this heat!!

$2 dinner

August 1st, 2006 at 03:12 pm

I spent $2 for dinner last night. I got hamburger on sale for $2 this weekend. Ou worker showed up Saturday with a bag full of corn on the cob, squash, red potatoes and onions. My dh fixes the best potatoes with onion, butter, olive oil and spices and cooks them on the grill for about an hour.
It was a great meal and I think we have enough for anothe meal tonight.
Wonder if i can talk him into staying home tonight and eating in. That would make 3 nights in a row eating at home!! Pretty good for us!!

Dinner Home

August 1st, 2006 at 02:14 pm

We went out to look at some property we were thinking of buying. As most of you know, dh is a builder and we build spec houses and custom houses. (spec means it is for sale)
We had looked at this property in early spring when there were no leaves on the trees and the views were great.
Now the leaves are there and the views are not so great, so we are rethinking this. Do we really want to pay $80,000 for a lot with a so so view?
Good thing is, while we were thinking it over, we had dinner at home for a change!!
