Did you watch the Royal Wedding?

I had not planned to... but there was nothing else on this morning so I did. LOL

It is interesting the different perspective I have for this one compared to the wedding of his mother and father 30 years ago.

I remember being awed by the pomp and circumstance of the other one....whereas my older self is thinking that this is alot of show for something that is a very private and personal matter.  But then again, I am not one for big showy weddings.  Whether you are a "royal" or a "commoner."

I guess it had to be an "event" considering who they are......but in this day and age does any country NEED a royal family???

Random thoughts on a Friday morning.  I need to go wake up my daughter, so I might revisit this subject later. :-)

Days go by quickly......

I have been contemplating my shopping habits lately and feel the need to challenge myself where my grocery budget is concerned.

Starting May 1st, I am going to challenge myself to only spend $400 for the month.  This will include foodstuffs, paper products, cleaning products and pet items.

I will keep a tally and post here my totals.

Review of Yoder's Country Market.

All in all a nice little market.  Not worth the drive unless I was in the area for other reasons, but I do not regret going.

Most things were not less expensive than local places, but there were a few items that would be a cost savings if it was not for the drive.

I did buy some bulk sucanat.  I have been wanting to try it for awhile, so I got some. :-)

I am going to an Amish store tomorrow!

Thanks to a link from a friend, I have found one that is about 40 miles south of me.

Yoder's

With the kids off this week for Spring break, I decided a little road trip was in order.  The kids will enjoy the drive and I will find out if this is a place that is worth the drive.

I will let you know how it is after our little trip.

My new baby

This is Jasper.  I had to wait until he was all tuckered out from playing to get a picture of him that was not blurred.

Frustrations

I always have such great ideas for my blog....but they never materialize.  Either life gets in the way....or I develop writer's block and can not get my thoughts down on the computer screen.

I had such grand plans to have blog posts for each day of Spring break....and alas, I have only made two and this is one of them.

Spring Break

It is day 2 of our Spring Break.

Yesterday I concentrated on laundry.  I did not finish it, but I put a large dent in the pile!  Today will finish it up.  (For now!)

I actually got to hang towels out on the line yesterday!  It was wonderful.  Of course today is supposed to be rainy with scattered T-storms.

Also working on my school work.  I hope to not only get this week's done early, but to work ahead on next week's assignments.  It is week 5 of 8.....not much longer to go for this semester.  Then summer will start. LOL
