August 2016 Frugal Chatter thread - ALL WELCOME!!!

Thanks jasperandchar.

I can't believe that our twins are turning 1yr old this weekend.

-had ashlyn out to a splash pad this morning it was a 15 minute walk -we took her in the wagon -boy she loves running thru all the sprayers -so cute then she asked to go home -I made sure I had plenty of sunscreen and water for her
-it was a long day watching her til 6.00 daughter-in-law asked us to stay for pizza -would have but had a kijiji sale at 6.45 and I new she would show as she told me she bought one of my daughter's dresses before 12.00 for my daughter
-yesterday I sold old metal gate brackets for 10.00 for hubby saw the in the garage and asked if her was using them -nope so hey that helped

Wow already August!!! :) It goes so fast!!! :)

Morning, all.

It will be a while before it will be a good one. :(

My Mom passed away yesterday afternoon. I'm still a bit numb. I take comfort in knowing that my Mom is sipping martinis while enjoying what passes for the Grammy awards in the next world. When I was 21, a group of friends & classmates decided to go to a rock concert (there had to be a dozen or more of us). One person dropped out at the last minute & since we didn't want the ticket to go to waste, my Mom tagged along. At first, my peers were horrified that I'd brought along my Mommy. By the end of the concert, with Mom singing her heart out and having a blast, they were jealous I lived with such a cool lady. :)

Going to hibernate for a bit. Both bffs are taking care of me, so all is well. Critters are napping, they kept a close eye on me all night.

I'll keep in touch.

Hope everyone celebrates Simcoe Day by enjoying time with family & friends. Have a martini in honour of my Mom. :)

I am truly sorry for your loss Andit, while all losses are difficult a mother is the hardest I think. Wishing you peace and acceptance, I am glad you have support through your friends.

Very sorry for your loss @Andit , but what a cute story about your Mom and that concert! Not many young gals would ever consider taking a parent, you obviously knew her better than anyone and knew she would hop and bop at the concert!!
(((hugs ))) for you over the next few weeks.
