Thursday, fast turn around, Thrifty Thursday

 

This is by far the fastest I have ever had a turn around on one of my savings charts.  But with all those sewing things people had not picked up for weeks, and not buying any groceries this week and no car payment look what I was able to do?  Amazing!  I have enough cash to pay our real estate taxes without hitting the savings account. Taxes due on the 20th $1397.63.  I had been saving for these all year and now I don't have to touch that money.  Score!

Daughter brought the babies down yesterday so they could go boating.  We had both Oliver and Kelsa.  Hubs came home later in the afternoon and he was beat so I took Oliver and he took Kelsa and we both napped in separate rooms.  I only got the swimsuit done but I don't care, babies are more fun and more important. Both daughters and Husbands came home freezing. B left in my clothes and I was laughing at her as the pants she had on were way too short, she just looked silly.

I did get the ironing done which was so nice.  I actually have clothes to choose from.  I was really getting down to the nitty gritty. We are leaving here within the hour as we lose and hour going south with a time change and we need to meet with Mom and dad's financial advisor at 7:00. It takes about 5 hours to get to Nampa.

I will meet eldest daughter and her MIL in Boise on Saturday.  We will go to lunch and I will take Hub's mom out with me so she has a chance to get away.  Hubs can stay with his dad and spray fruit trees.  Friday I have to take hub's to get a couple of new sport coats, some dress pants and a couple of suits for church.  Everything he owned was donated months ago.  He has kept the 45 lbs he lost off for over a year now.  He has nothing to wear to church.
