Wordless Wednesday: The Squirrel

Whenever I have extra bread, cereal, or crackers to throw out, I like to put it in the yard for the animals.  It doesn’t take long for the stuff to get eaten.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.   :)

Sometimes “Sorry” Isn’t Good Enough

My husband and I were out of town for job training last week and on the way home we stopped to get gas.  I was floored when my North Carolina State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) debit card did not work.  What to do?  We had to have gas to get home!  Thankfully, we had a credit […]

Do You Take “No” for an Answer?

Denied.  What in the world was going on?  I figured the servers were down or something like that.  It’s happened once before.  Thank goodness we have a credit card for emergencies.

A Thrifty Waffle House Wedding

My friend sent me an email today about a couple getting married in a Waffle House.  I checked it out and sure enough, it’s true.  Now you have a reason to smile today.  Let me know what you think.
