Celebrate Summer - Sun drenched days and starlit nights...

This year Russ talked me into sleeping outside with him and Jake. I’m not much of a camper but I figured that in my own backyard I could sneak in if I wanted to. Besides that, I kind of like having the bed to myself (and control of the channel changer)! Jake and Russ sleep out quite often during the summer months, under the stars (no tent allowed)! I never knew what I was missing; I think I had more fun than the boys! Hopefully this isn’t the last time I’m invited, I have a feeling that if Jake has it his way it will be. The only thing missing (once again) was Megan, she is a busy 20 year old girl with places to go and people to see! Happy Backyard Camping!!!

"I get by with a little help from my friends."

One of my BEST friends ever is Shelly! We have known each other for 20+ years. We have been through so much together and have always been there for each other. The most difficult time in my life was when I lost my Mom to ovarian cancer, Shelly was my biggest support! I love her as if she was my sister, she says we are and I love that! I am blessed to have wonderful friends in my life, what would I do without them!

Get Ready For Great Deals!

Seriously?! Saving more than half on your weekly grocery bill?

That is what some neighbor friends and I experienced with the “Grocery Guru”! Not only did we save a “chunk of change” but we had a great time doing it. Ken “The Grocery Guru” told us that many times here in Utah people mistake him for a polygamist having 10 women following him around with carts in a grocery store!

As my Mom used to tell me, “A penny saved is a penny earned”! My problem... I save that 50% and think I can go spend it somewhere else. I’m a work in progress!

My Most Favorite Picture Ever!!!
