Minimum Budget

So, money is getting very tight and I really have to skimp. I keep a lot of staples in kitchen...flour, sugar, oil and spices. I ran out of bread and have no money to get some, so was looking for a recipe for flat bread, since I don't have yeast. Yeast expires and I never seem to use it before it does, so I only buy it when I need it.

I found a nice video showing the ease in making flat bread. I will be tyring it out tonight.



I'm still on the search for a job, but still not bites.

The weather here has been really nice. I can't wait for the heat to be all done, so I can start my winter garden. I didn't have any success with a garden this summer. I got started too late and the heat of the summer was just way too much for the young plants to survive. I was really looking forward to fresh veggies from the garden. Especially tomatoes.

Oh, speaking of tomatoes...out in the field ministry this morning, I met a nice woman named Maria. She wanted to share some of her garden with me. (truly a blessing as food is running low at our house) She gave me a large box full of tomatoes and zucchini and requested I return for more when this ran out. I shared them with another family and still have plenty for the week. A nice sandwich with sliced tomatoes, onions and lettuce sounds wonderful!
This is a nice reminder of how Jehovah takes care of our needs.
Matthew 6:25-34

I remember as a young girl, spending the summer with my favorite aunt at the time, who had a veggie garden in the back. I thought it was wonderful to be able to go out to the garden and pick fresh lettuce, tomatoes and all that was needed for that nights meal. So, every new place I move to, I start a garden. The last place we lived, the ground was just too hard and full of gravel to sustain a garden. The year we tried, the carrots would grow some, but we couldn't pull them out of the ground! We rototilled it an conditioned it before hand, but about the only thing that grew were the green onions and tomatoes. Still that was wonderful. This year will be the first time I try a winter garden.

Well, I'm off to hang curtains.

Have a good day.

Zumba!

Well I made it to gym this morning and took a Zumba class. It was pretty fun and I'm really looking forward to the next class.

I found a studio that has a video on ther site...take a look, I think you'll be inspired!

I'm always nervous with I go to a new class by myself, but I really really wanted to do this one...so alone I went. Once your there you really get into it. There were a lot of different kinds of people there at different levels...I can't wait to do like some of the woman who you can tell have been going to the class awhile.

It's supposed to be about 10 degrees cooler today, so I'm planning on NOT running the A/C. Giving it and my budget a break.

Well, off to get things done...have a wonderful day!

Hot Hot Hot

Well, they tell us it's going to be back up into triple digits the next few days. I started the A/C early this morning to see if I can finally keep this place cool!

I feel pretty good today...the first time in almost a week!
I lost 10 pounds while I was sick. Not the way I would have like to have done it, but I'll take it. Now I've got to get back to my exercise routine to get tone back in this old body! Amazing what happens in a week when you stop. However, I will be taking it very slow, as I don't want to overdo it and relapse.

I mentioned in my last post that I was going to redo this blog, but I have decided to create a new one. I've decided this would be the best way to accomplish my goal. You can visit my new blog at http://grammashands.blogspot.com/

Well, I'm off the change my room around.
