Daffodils

Daffodills

A house with daffodils in it is a house lit up,
whether or no the sun be shining outside.
A.A. Milne

The daffodil is our doorside queen;
She pushes upward the sword already,
To spot with sunshine the early green.
William Cullen Bryant

Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty.
 William Shakespeare

Wedding Anniversary!

It was on Friday.
We attended my Aunt's funeral.
Saturday we went to a birthday party for our nieces children's first birthday party.
Sunday we went to a memorial service for my Grandmother and out to lunch.

Today in one of the memes I participate in, the theme was "a special memory".
I wrote about our wedding day -- it has all the elements of a good story (drama, mystery, suspense, laughter, and sadness) in three short quick paragraphs.  There is even some entertainment value too!

So if you want a good workout by laughing hard, go read my post at Penny Lane (direct link, new window).

Take a walk down Memory Lane -- I bet Old School would love this site.

So why not name something that you don't see around anymore or something you treasured in your youth, like a game/toy, or TV show

Check it out

So the past few days, I have been looking for some new bank checks, the regular sort, not the duplicates.

Gee, they are expensive.

I also noticed that instead of 200 per box, most only sell you 150 now.  The average price per box is $9-12 and some more expensive depending on the type you get. Same price but for less.

I found some that had "Kiss it Goodbye" on them, I think I am considering those satirical ones (although only 150 per box). (They also have a coupon code for an additional discount on the main page.)

I also found some others I liked but then found the same ones at WalMart Checks for less but you get more.
WalMart Checks gives you 6 pads/240 checks per box making it a better deal for around $5.96 per box.  If you are frugal, this may be for you.

I never knew WalMart sold checks so now maybe you know too!

Triple Layer Carrot Cake

I was looking for some cookware and came across this as I lost my focus. 
I have to post it so I don't lose it!

Looks yummy!
