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 :)

7/25 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Today in the mail, I received 3 tea bags - all three different flavors and I will take them to work with me. I made an apple/pear pie earlier this week. Crust and filling were homemade and it was delicious. Didn't want to waste my little pears - and I put extra oatmeal in the topping. The hot weather has returned - sure wish the rain would follow. Saturday, my daughter and I may attend a local farmer's tomato festival - free tomato sandwiches - which I love. Or, if the condo is open this weekend, we may make a quick jaunt down and back with my daughter's adoptive grandmother. Of course what my daughter would really like is to look at cars :) Did I mention I purchased the Nescafe Dolce Single serving coffee maker - refurbished - delivered to my local Wal-mart for $39.XX plus tax minus a rebate from ebates? It is a luxury - but I am enjoying it as a treat. During the week - I am drinking my cheap ground coffee I make by the pot. The single serve - when I want a frothy coffee drink :)
