M...What about a search on Pinterest for lunches? <br /><br />My brother did not like sandwiches and was too picky fr the school made lunces and had peanut butter crackers in his lunch for all of his school years. My Mom got so tired of making them every morning!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054827990287178366.post-17574466176852243022015-07-28T15:31:42.365-06:002015-07-28T15:31:42.365-06:00Thanks for the heads-up, Teri - I left an incorrec...Thanks for the heads-up, Teri - I left an incorrect link at Prudent Homemaker.

I generally click on your link through The Prudent Homemaker blog but this time it took me to someone else's blog?? I didn't know if there is a change in your blog but thought I would ask, since the name was the same. So I looked your blog up in my favorites.<br /><br />Big changes for you and your daughter! But exciting, none the less!! :) Thanks and have a blessed week.

Our only child DIL has told me that being an only can be lonely. No ideas for you on the lunches since ours were always home and hubby is a total creature of habit and has eaten pretty much the same lunch for 37 years. A thermos could be helpful for hot foods. We do that some in the winter for soups. <br /><br />I ordered a new laptop paid for with Swagbucks Amazon gift cards. I asked hubby to pick it out for me and he spent quite a bit of time on that so I am confident that I will be happy with it after I learn to use it. My old one had gotten so slow that it was frustrating.<br /><br />We went to the beach with my parents but that was very low cost since they own the timeshare. We did almost nothing while we were there since they are hardly getting around anymore. I did find a few more bowls for my Pfaltgraff dishes pattern at a thrift store. Bowls are the hardest to find so I was happy. We used some Starbucks free egift cards that I have had for about 2 years for a treat on the way home. <br /><br />WHile we were gone someone compromised my debit card and cleaned out our checking account. We have gone through all the paperwork and now we wait for the charges to be investigated and the money put back inot our account. I talked to our accountant daughter about how to go to only credit cards and work the budget and we now have a plan to do so. I do not want to do this again.We will be living frugally for a few weeks until this is cleared but we do that anyway so it will not be too hard.<br /><br />Congrats on your big win! How nice to have main dishes ready to go for busy days. I bet that dry ice was a blast!<br /><br />Have a good week!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
