Exchange Students

This week has been another lovely week with our exchange daughter. 

My husband is a hard person for people to figure out. First of all, he is always working, so he is NEVER home. This makes it hard for the new members of our family to get to know him, understand his speech and understand is dry humor. But our new daughter has finally gotten the jist of his speech (most of the time.) And  has also started to laugh when he attempts his jokes.
The hard part is that she desperately wants to come back for college and it is very frustrating getting any information on if and how this is possible. We are going to do some more work on that this weekend.

Sunday Parade 3/06

If you happen to get a Sunday newspaper that carries the Parade magazine in it, there is a $2.00/2 coupon for Efferdent or Effergrip products.

Sunday Coupon Inserts 3/06

This Sunday (3/06) there should be (2) inserts in your Sunday newspaper.
(1) SmartSource   -- 3/06 SS
(1) Red Plum  -- 3/06 RP

If you are new to couponing label each insert with the date and initials (3/06 SS or 3/06 RP.) Everyone sorts differently. This works for me.

Take A Minute Tuesdays

 Well, it isn't Tuesday. Just didn't get to the blog yesterday. The saying below I took from our exchange students Facebook post. After she posted it, I keep going back to it and reading it.

 Life is not the amount of breaths u take,it's the moments that take ur breath

Some of the moments that take my breath away are:  

Looking out my kitchen window at the sunrise. (Honestly, the sun doesn't have to be rising. I just love looking out into the yard with the flowers and trees and animals.)

My daughters all dressed up for a dance. Beautiful.

My sons getting married. Awesome

The fact that we have grandchildren! and watching them...sleep...

The dogs running at full speed.

What moments take your breath away?

What's On The Table This Week

Last weeks meal planning went really well. My problem is that the girls don't always eat. So I have cooked this great meal and nobody to eat it with. Did I mention that my husband works several nights a week so is not always home either. I didn't make the roast yesterday so it's in the crock pot now. It smells great!

Tuesday         Pancakes and Fruit
Wednesday   French Dip or Roast Beef Sandwiches from Monday's Roast
Thursday       Bean & Cheese Enchiladas
Friday            Ham and Scalloped Potatoes
