I hear you d harmony! I feel like the village is beautiful - I wish I could show how my d mom did it... she is an artist anyway and it was a WOW. She even collected nature items from the woods in Door county. Amazing work. I am not sure if I want to put my energy into putting up the village anymore. If others helped I guess it would be fun but no one really wants to do it but they want to have it kind of thing.
Today I am going to put money... not much into my christmas savings account. (anything helps)
I did save any extra $10 this month by taking out my extra singles (kept 5 singles in my wallet at all times and took the extra out once a week) - $10 is $10
This week I am getting the remainder of the things for the family reunion.

Mom's day brunch at the buffet was a hit a bit spendy but nice. Not overly crowded either they do the. For most holidays general consis is that was a keeper for evens with faimal and inlaws. None of us has room for 13+.
We still need to get to see a dil's parents place and it will be a fun drive too.
One other place on hubby's list for a drive with the jeep as well.
Hoping to get the yard in shape by th e 4th of July I think h was rolling his eyes! LOL!

Yay!!! d nancy... I want you to also know that you inspired me to start a holiday account... thank you thank you!
this month is tight but I am still going to add money to the account. I think I may add one tip per month for helper service people so that I have that aside too.
I also bought a few more things for stockings this month.
