Frugal living

Living frugal has become sort of a game for us. This week I made up a batch of lentil and veggie soup. It was a small batch, because that can get old quick. But, I did stretch it out an extra couple of days by changing it up a bit with canned tomatoes and a few spices. I've been reading that one needs to rotate their food storage. I've gotta tell you, we live off that stuff. We try to make it fun and a learning opportunity. I like cooking anyway, so it is especially fun for me. Randy remembers a little bit about how his mom cooked, so he is a great helper. We have a freezer right now, so I buy a lot of frozen veggies. I haven't jumped into canning yet. I still want to make bread. The only thing slowing me down is our tumultuous situation with this property. To seed or not to seed, that is the question...

I feel your pain there.... I'll not be in this house much longer. That is a relief to me, but it still adds a bit of uncertainty that I don't like. All we can do is do what we can!

Thanks dude,
I wish ya'll could have have sold before everything went to shit. I respect that you both are working hard at doing what you can. Fortunately, the courts are bogged down with foreclosures. You may have more time than you think. I'm still not sure they can actually kick us out of this place, as it was paid off a long time ago. So, there's not a morgage, just a lien. Who knows?
