My grand daughter’s birthday is coming up and all she asked for was these fire balls. Bless her heart…it doesn’t take much to make her happy. I went up to the small store here in our little town and since I know the owner well, asked him if he would order a case of them. He did and only charged me his cost. He allowed me to save a great deal of money. I’m still going to buy my grand daughter something else, of course. I know though, she will be really thrilled with these.

Going Home to Mom’s
My daughter and I are going to spend the weekend with my Mom in a little while. I love going “home” because it’s a chance to see my Mom and also have my daughter spend time with her Nana. It’s really relaxing there, and my daughter and I have the whole upper floor of the house, which is HUGH to ramble around in.
Down in the basement I have an antique work bench I usually sort my garden seeds for Mom’s yards and also my woodworking hobbies. The cool thing about this workbench is I discovered even secret drawers in side of drawers. I’ve often wondered what kind of secrets were hidden in them.
My daughter and I like to help Mom around the house. She is getting up there in age and really appreciates the help. The great thing is, she is an awesome cook and cooks all kinds of great Hungarian food for us, along with her twists on other wonderful foods. Yep, I’m looking forward to going home. 
Home Improvement
Contributed by Vickie Tyson
I have directv at home and I’ve been watching a lot of home improvement shows. I love that there are so many great programs on décor and redoing the backyard and everything like that because I’ve got this new house and I really want it to look good. Since I moved here I’ve been all about making this home somewhere I can be proud of, it is my first house afterall! I am so thankful the down real estate market has finally afforded me the possibility to buy a home that I can call my own. I love being a homeowner and though it’s a lot of responsibility I am really proud of myself for already making this place so great on the inside and I’m planning on having a housewarming party relatively soon to show off my work. My friends are impressed because I’m the first one of us to buy a home and you know, that feels good. It makes me feel like I’m happy I’ve done this well for myself by this young age.
Financial Aid for School
My youngest daughter is going to graduate from high school and wants to go to collage, so my husband and I have been looking into financial aid information, since we can’t afford the tuition,books and everything she will need on our own. She plans on going to Beauty Collage, but then also wants to take some other courses in finance and business management also. She indeed has her priorities straight and I am so very proud of her.
Like her father, she is left handed. I didn’t know that there are scholarships and financial aid for left handed students. Her counselor at school never told us this. Maybe she doesn’t know, but one would think that a counselor would know about various scholarships and about financial aid, as we were told this was part of her job. There is however a seminar that my husband and I are going to attend that will give us a lot more information than the counselor has been.
Right now my daughter is not only going to school during the day, but also she has night school three times a week, so her grades improve. Perhaps she can get a scholarship but we will still be needing to look into more financial aid information for her. With the economic times like they are, we are going to need a lot of help. My husband has a good job, but my medical bills just keep piling up and it seems that getting ahead is going to take more time, if we even can.
Damaged mailbox epidemic
I don’t know if it’s the way the weather has been, since it’s been icy and snowing most days lately, but two of my friends have had mailboxes also damaged. One of my blogging buddies, Connie had hers hit about the same time I had mine wiped out. My other friend who lives in town had his torn off his house while he was out of State on business.
I’ve gotten a replacement, but I don’t really like it. Still, it will have to do until at least Spring. The ground is too frozen now to put in another post.
I wish people would drive more carefully down this road, and slow their speed down to what it is supposed to me on this road also. This keeps costing me money and I can’t move our mail box any further from the road.
