July Frugals....I am back so I will start!!

I'd love it, Rosemary. I have some premade programs that I've presented or it can be an informal chat. I traveled to two of the four World Centers and worked at the one in Mexico so that is a special part of Girl Scouts in my heart, as well. Let's email about it.

Hey! We haven't run our dryer in about a month! The line drying season was long in arriving here, but it's been glorious since it began.

Glad it's going well with puppers.

We just trash picked garden edging for our parking pad space! We had priced some at Menards and for the crappy quality and relative non-cuteness, we just couldn't bring ourselves to spend on it. This stuff is plastic, but it's super cute. Some of it is broken and it's tangled up with weeds, but that's just some elbow grease and clipping a few broken pieces off. We can fix it up well enough to work and be so cute! I will try to post pics when it's done. Very happy. Our parking pad needed this vertical edging. The sunken landscape timber edging doesn't delineate well enough and it just looks sad most of the time.

Good work on the dryer front. When I was growing up I was embarrassed that we couldn't afford a dryer. It took me a while to go back to line drying clothes by choice.

Now I feel dumb when I used to use our dryer to dry clothes on 100 degree days when they could have dried outside in a half hour at no cost.

LOL, on the dryer score, I think I spoke too soon as our clothes on the line got rained on and now we have to get ready for a vacation, so in they will go. Oh well, we did pretty well while the streak lasted.

We went up to my parents' last night to drop off the dogs and used a gift card to get a cheap lunch on the way, then went in to my mom's fundraiser at the county fair and also paid for fair admission. The fair sucked, I wish we hadn't even bothered. But oh well.

On the way home we stopped at some outlets that we rarely hit because we almost always have the dogs with us when we go by there. I was happy with the clothes I got for work, and DH got a few things. They weren't priced rock bottom, but quite a few were 80% off, so that was pretty good. I'm pretty well set for a while with clothes.
