Busy week-end

Red lettuce coming up in my deck planter

I spent the weekend indoors, cleaning and sorting. It was too hot and humid to work outside, so I finally broke down and put the air conditioning unit in my upstairs bedroom window and proceeded to go through some boxes and Rubbermaid tubs to decide what needed to go. I did several loads of laundry and hung them outside on the line. I did some vacuuming and cleaned one of the bathrooms. I even got my husband to purge his closet. He is donating some good clothes that no longer fit him, to a friend. He got rid of two large garbage bags of clothes that I put out into the driveway this morning for the Cerebral Palsy pick-up. They will get the $ donation when they deliver to the Thrift store. Next, I will go through his dressers to get rid of lots of T-shirts. Some of his clothes are just too badly stained to be any good to someone else. I still put them in the donation bag, because if they are unusable, they will be ripped up and sold as rags to other organizations. 

Yesterday I made chicken soup for lunches this week. I also made more doggie bisquits. We had hamburgers on one night, and hotdogs on another night. I really didn't feel like cooking. Notice that I baked cookies for the dog, but didn't feel like putting a meal together for myself and my husband. 

Coleus

This morning I helped my Sweetie Pie install a ceiling fan in the living room. There was a light fixture in that room but we never used it, preferring instead to use lamps in the evening. This was a ceiling fan that we already owned, so no additional cost. 

Poppies

My husband picked up 3 loaves of whole wheat bread for 95 cents each on Friday afternoon; otherwise, it was a no-spend week-end. We didn't spend anything today. 

I did not get any freebies this week at all. Boo. But I did add $1.55 to my "found money" jar this week. ( 3 dimes while vacuuming, and $1.25 in my white canvas bag when I emptied it to wash it on Saturday.) I will be travelling to Smith Falls this coming week-end, and I know I will be gifted some "stuff". News on Monday.
