Wow, what a weekend!

Ok on town day, I shopped, for hours! I did get lunch out, the 6 m&ms did not go far and Judy did go with.

I went to

Lowes and used 2 coupons on cleaning stuff. yes Lowes Home Improvement store takes coupons!

Walmart looking for the free butter, never found it. I will try HEB perhaps Friday.

Albies, got all my deals, plus a couple not listed, but forgot to use my GC!

Hancocks and got lots of awesome fabrics! They actually had a several tables of good quality (apron worthy) fabric for... .95c a yard! I did go over my GC amount by $5. 

Then hit Sams.

We had dq for lunch and stopped on the way home for a steak express tea,

I did well and did not go over budget.

Saturday morning Beloved and I made a dump run. He and the boys loaded the truck and he unloaded. He takes me along for company.

Once we got home he worked on the yard some, I made deviled eggs and processed 14lbs of chicken. I ended up with roughly 12 lbs of cubed chicken for frying. It took me an hour to get the chicken ready. I know because I began right after I started the dryer, which was set for 1 hour. I also cleaned the kitchen, did laundry and... something else I can not remember now. He peeled the 10 lbs of potatoes.

We left and got to fil's around 315 ish. I began cooking at 430. Drew got there around 530, then bil and family then Chris and Judy around 6.  Judy took a turn at the chicken so I could rest a bit. We had it ready around 630.

Beloved led the clean up team. I wanted to but my back just would not cooperate. I was in a lot of pain even to last night. I am better today.

Fil has decided this is a once a month event, the next to be on the 19th where we will celebrate nephew's 1st birthday!

So today is back to normal, scooping kitty boxes, laundry, cleaning the kitchen and working on the living room. I also need to make some time to begin turning over the garden. One of the things I got at lowes was seeds! I got pinto and black beans and corn and peas. I am going to get more 2x4s and more fertilizer and soil and expand my garden too, this time I will do it my way with a layer of black paper and or news paper, then fertilizer then soil to prevent weeds. I need a bigger garden so I can cut the grocery bill this summer! I really hope to learn to can as well as freeze my produce.

Well my day has begun, laundry is going and kitty boxes are scooped. Next is strip and remake the bed.

hugs y'all
