I was buying bananas----and grapes--and apples --plus stopped at the nursery and paid the owner to deliver 2 bales of straw for out by the road, ready for Halloween-then --circled back for gas which is $1.42 a gal --terrible! --The groceries too were costly for 2 of us--- $243.00------one needs a lot of money these days-- ----- When I got home, big Beau was sitting by his cookie cupboard ready for his freeze dried beef things--Funny how he knows that every noon hour he gets one--
I sure do love this boy! ----So----- no lunch for me yet--because I had to carry in all the groceries---then clean out the frig----- Lord love a Duck! A woman's work is never done! --But, I must say-Himself vacuumed ----- so good eh!
I must tell you too that my cousin called me last night-He lives in Port Perry--Isn't it nice to chat with "family"---?- He sounds great and we talked about family members who are not doing well-- and we laughed a lot about visiting Grampa's house, when we were kids and how we would slide down the banister in Grampa's hall-
Memories are so precious!So---away I go for lunch-- Hope you all are doing well-- You know what? We are all alive!!
A busy morning for you again Lynda! We may make a trip to Costco today if it’s not raining too hard. That will be an expensive trip for sure. I get most of our vitamins etc there and we haven’t been for months so I have a long list. Beau is looking good and pretty soon he will have a new friend to play with. Have a good day! 👍
ReplyDeleteI agree that the prices have increased and you don't get a lot for your money. I enjoy skyping with my sister twice a week. She lives in the states so I haven't seen her for two years but at least we see each other on skype. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't been our daughter in 2 yrs--- and I really miss her-- I think its good yu can Skype!
DeleteYes we are alive
ReplyDeleteI like to FB message live it is the best to see sis while chatting
Have a good day Jo
Beau is looking great….and these dogs are smart! Glad you got all that shopping done. It seems to take longer to put everything away these days. We are still getting home delivery, stores too dangerous to be ambling around inside, in Texas.
ReplyDeleteBeau is so smart--and he understands English--LOL-Lynd
DeleteGroceries are expensive for sure. I picked mine up curbside yesterday and they cost $255.00 for the two of us as well so it would seem the prices are about the same. I can't imagine if I had to feed a family. It has been pouring rain here all day so I decided it was a good day to stay inside and bake. Made a pumpkin pie for supper. Yummy
ReplyDeleteOur Bear know where we keep his treats and is always trying to get us to go to them and give him one...also he knows when I usually feed him and he comes to me and looks at me to tell me it is time for me to feed him. What would we do if we didn't have our fur babies.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday
Got up, took a breath! Must be a good day, eh?
ReplyDeletesounds like a great day to me--LOL-Lynda
DeleteI know. Groceries are just expensive.
ReplyDeleteMemories are definitely treasures!
Yes dogs are very smart. A lot smarter than we realize.Beau is such a beautiful dog.
ReplyDeleteYes the prices of food is going up and up and up. I don't know how a family is able to feed themselves. Actually the price of everything is going up.
Yesterday when I was going to get gas I realized I needed to wait until I get my SS check next month. The gas was $3.49 a gal who knows how much it will be by next month.
Lynda I hope you got your lunch and will have time to relax for a little bit this afternoon. You had a very busy morning.
I completely understand that yu had to wait for a cheque to come in--- I think we are all in the same boat--- hard eh?--Lynda
DeleteHappy childhood memories carry me through difficult times.
ReplyDeleteBeau is looking good! My girl knows where her stuff is and is not shy about telling me it is her time for food or treats! Food sure is expensive. Even our local stuff since our season just ended was just as or more than some imported. Unbelievable. Nice to have family to talk to when you can.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right groceries are so expensive and the prices seem to be climbing higher and higher. You pay way less than us for gas as we are at $2.39 per gallon. Yours is the imperial gallon so you get more than we do.
ReplyDeleteSeems this is our new "normal".
Slow down your moving too fast, as the old song goes
ReplyDelete$3.86 a gallon here in Idaho! It is definitely a scary time.
ReplyDeleteI try so hard to stay on my grocery list. No unnecessary items. Make a weekly menu and buy only what is needed. It does take a while, but it helps with calories and money. Glad that our garden is producing vegetables. If only I would like them more! I’m trying.
My two dogs have a time clock as well. They always know when it is 5 for dinner and will also tell me when it is time for bed! Who needs an alarm? Ha ha
Can’t wait to see pictures of your new pup!
$4.49/gallon in California! Maybe it’s time to try a new place to live! Hard to leave a p,ace you e lived for over 60 years, but California is just way too expensive now. My son just bought a typical 4 bedroom 2300 sp ft tract home on a small lot for $1.2M. CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good day overall.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your evening.

Lynda, our gas is $3.50 a gal here in AL. Groceries are high too! I try to grocery shop once a week since COVID has been so bad instead of my every 2-3 day runs. But I end up wasting some of the produce and I don’t like that. I feel like it will stay this way for awhile 🙃
ReplyDeleteBeau is a beautiful dog…I know y’all enjoy him!♥️
I am so sorry tat it cost so much to eat but I am glad that you have Beau he is so beautiful gas here is 3.18 per gallon and I think that is way to high also
ReplyDeleteFood and gasoline prices seem to go up weekly. Gasoline is $3.69 a gallon in Missouri.
ReplyDeleteBeau is BIG...gorgeous and smart. He knows when its treat time and where they are kept lol. Nice talking with your cousin and sharing memories..
Enjoy your day! Glad Fred vacuumed...that helps a little bit.
Take care. ❤
Our groceries for two are a little up but I still keep it to about $70 to $120 a visit. Our gas is $1.32 a litre.
ReplyDeleteFamily is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeau is such a beauty! I had two cats that would be standing right by my door when I came home from work. They would rush to the kitchen whenever they heard the can opener! LOL (((HUGS)))Susiemt
ReplyDeleteMy aren't memories and family great? I can hardly wait for you to get your new pup. We had a cat that would go to the front door at 4:45 and wait for my husband to walk through the door.
