Why is it that FRESH produce is more expensive than frozen or canned, which has been processed and canned or frozen? Wouldn't it cost more to do all that processing and packaging for produce than it would if you just put it in a farmers market stand or local grocery produce dept and let folks get what they want? :sigh: I big chunk of our grocery bill went towards dairy, meat and produce...we rarely shop in the middle aisles so we don't get junk.
Ginny was a good little kiddo despite being tired and it being past her nap time. Justin saw the display at the front of the store with pictures of soldiers in uniform and I explained to him that it was because of people like those soldiers (and like his daddy) that we have the freedom to make our own choices about what color shirt to wear, what to eat for breakfast, and whether to go to the beach or stay home. Then I explained about Independence Day aka 4th of July and since he's a HUGE School House Rock fan he understood immediately. (we own all the DVD's, computer games, even the cd with music....he memorizes the stories and songs and wahlah! Instant understanding after a brief conversation with his daddy or me). http://www.school-house-rock.com/
Ginny is down for her morning nap, J is begging for me to put the school house rock "unofficial" website on his computer so he can listen to the songs over and over and over again. :) Gotta love him for his persistence!
Thinking about calling my Uncle B. to see if he'll pick J, G and I up Sat before picking up Uncle J at the airport so we can hitch a ride with him to the family reunion. I'd like to go, but can't justify spending that much $ on gas at the moment, as well as the whole not being able to take the truck because Tim needs it to get to work. Hmmm...not sure. I haven't spoken to my Uncle B since my little brother died. I'm not very close to my mums side of the family. I'm not close to my dad's side of the family, either, for that matter. If it wasn't a Sat night dh would take off, but he can't because he's the only one in his dept working Sat nights at the moment. Oye!
Down to 231 today, from 250 in February. I put on a recently purchased pair of size 24 shorts this AM before heading out and they kept falling off so I don't think I'll be wearing those again any time soon. Tim, of course, has lost about 45 pounds since Feb and looks FAB U LOUS! Only problem is that he needs new clothes that fit! LOL Justin went from 117 to 109, but gained back a few pounds (2) after going off his meds a month and half ago.
Ah well...yet ANOTHER day in the life of the Wheeler clan!Have a wonderful and SAFE Independence Day- 4th of July celebration!
