Grandson is here!

September 12th, 2015 at 03:50 pm

My grandson arrived last night. 9/11 -- he will have a very easy to remember birthday! He is beautiful and healthy, and mother and family are all doing great. He is named after his father, which is sweet.

Today I will get a card and mail my college fund check to him. I already gave $250 to each of my other grandchildren, so this will even things up.

Now I need to nail down my trip down there to visit. I found a Spirit flight to Orlando for only $120, if I stay almost a week. I need to find out if that is okay with them. Flying to Orlando means having to rent a car, but I don't think there is any way around that. There is no nearby airport. So whatever I do, this won't be cheap. I still have driving in the back of my mind (I prefer driving over flying) but that wouldn't be cheap, either.

Yesterday when I walked to the library, I stopped at Walgreen's and bought two bottles of body wash for $3.

Today I am doing laundry, and I may go to the grocery, too. When I looked at the coupon for 10% off groceries for getting a shot, I realized that I saved an older coupon and must have thrown away the more current version. The one I have expired in August. I hope the deal is still available; I'll have to ask about it. I also have a virtual coupon for a free Lean Cuisine. I don't eat them much any more, but it may come in handy some time, and it's free! While I'm there I'll get the few things that are on my running list.

Tomorrow, after my grandson's soccer game, I am going back to BFF's to stay a few days. Her brother will come on Tuesday, so I'll come back then. She is doing well, but still needs help with household things.

I just realized I am only 11 days away from my first SS payday! Really looking forward to regular income again!

    You may already know this but there is a second airport in Orlando called Sanford (?I think) that can be cheap to fly into on some airlines instead of the large intercontinental airport. I have a friend who lives in an Orlando suburb and that airport is much closer to their home so it's not as big a deal to forgo the rental car. Just a thought.

    Congrats on the happy and safe arrival of dear grandson. And how was the film? Nick Hornby is one of my fave authors.

    This is my fourth grandchild -- three boys and one girl. I didn't care too much for the Hornby film -- well-meaning, but my attention wandered. It may have been just one of those days.
