CW, that’s how it starts. The next thing you know, ten years have gone by!

Kat, I am shocked by a lot of the prices. Some things have gone up so much! OTOH, we used to pay a lot more to rent videos. Go figure. Thanks for stopping by!

I had to do this when my mother died a little more than a year ago. What was amazing to me was how little groceries cost back in 1976. I think the 3 of us ate on about $25 a week!

I really need to go through our records and shred the stuff we no longer need to keep. Before I had kids, I used to do that twice per year but I can’t remember the last time I did it. I’m guessing it was probably back in 2003 before a move.

Hello Ms. Frank…

I was wondering if you’ve ever taught speech classes in Maryland public schools ~ some 30 years ago? Btw, you have a really nice blog site and it was a pleasure finding it.

You are as bad as my dad. He had paper work back that far too. He was a “In the Closet Pack Rat”.

Thanks, Kristy! We’re all fine. It’s actually warm (50s) here today…lovely weather. Hope you and your family are all ok.

Yes, Iva, I’ve saved the biggies. I’m diminishing my packrat tendencies, not erasing them

TC, your daughter is so fortunate that you have so many goodies waiting for her! Thanks for stopping by.

Tori, the kids have always come before the housekeeping, which is why I now play catch-up. And aren’t you sweet re: the award….Thanks!

I imagine I’ve got similar check info hanging around when I shouldn’t. How funny, huh? *sigh* There’s only so much time in the day and we really DO have to complete the most important things in that given time. hmm… blogging… well, that’s my way of staying sane. It certainly wouldn’t help ANYone if I wasn’t at least mostly together!

If you’re interested… I’ve included you in an award pass-along. If not, that’s totally cool. But I love your blog, so I had to include you!

that is really cool!

I am in the process of going through our basement and it is fun to see all the things I am finding down there. There are so many classic novels and great educational books that I am putting on our homeschooling shelf to include in Princess Belle’s education.
