We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

5/31 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: This was a 3 paycheck month for me. Thank-goodness my husband and I are on different pay schedules :) My daughter has been listing a few items here and there on half.com, ebay.com, and listia.com. Still just plugging along. I started to knit a winter sweater for my daughter with yarn I won on listia.com - should be ready by this winter. Thought it would be a great project for our France trip. The weather has been hot and muggy - defintely frizzy hair type weather. Thank-goodness we are expecting rain this evening - not only to get rid of some of the humidity - but also to water the plants. My "garden" is coming along - as are my flowers. Gladiola bulbs that I planted several years ago that didn't bloom last year - and bright and cheery this year. There are lavender and white with a tinge of red ones out in the yard . Still need to work on paring down "stuff" - never know when one may want to move, retire, downsize, what-ever :)
