Perspective in a Drought

Last night I mowed.  As I was happily mowing, which I missed doing all summer, I was thinking how nice our yard was looking since we'd gotten a little rain... that green lush grass returning!  Then, just now this morning, I realized it's still pretty dang ugly.
Sorry for those who got too much, but for us, today bring on the Issac rain.

Frugality Runs in the Family

This morning Grant told me he needed a binder for Spanish class. Then he remembered he had one in his room, so no, he didn't need one.   But then he asked for duct tape. ??

*This* is what I found him putting into his backpack to take to school today (so every person there would think we are the poorest family east of the Mississippi?)!

I hopped right down to the basement and pulled a decent binder right out of my school supply box.  It looks perfect, like new. 

I bought it last weekend at a yard sale for 50 cents.  : )
