I found another penny in the station this morning. It kind of makes the early morning routine less painful if I find a coin! A little upper.
My only spending yesterday was $1.50 for laundry. And I bought $10 worth of quarters at the bank, but that's not spending, that's just transfer of money.
Several birthdays are coming up -- my sister's, and my grandson's. For my sister's, I will just send money. For my grandson's, I just need to buy one more small gift. I ordered a couple of items from Amazon, but they look small. I thought I might try to find a book about birds -- they are his new passion. He wants to be an ornithologist! I wish I could find more hawk feathers for him -- he was more excited about that than any gift I have ever bought for him!
Then there is Thanksgiving to think about. If my Florida son can find a decent fare, I will help him get up here for Thanksgiving. Then there will be the possible cost of a hotel room -- sometimes there is room in someone's house, and sometimes there is not. We are a far-flung family, and it's always a bit up in the air how many will come. Thank goodness my brother, a former chef, is very adept at handling a big dinner under changing circumstances.
Just My Regular Musing
