2025 Frugal Friday File, July 11...

 

1.  My first grandson's birthday was this week, and we celebrated it on Saturday night at Kasey and Beau's.  I made him a card, a batch of Snack Crackers, and a pair of funny socks I had put back for him.  He works with special-needs kids, and him wearing funny socks is one way to engage them.

2.  Drove 500 miles to spend my sister's birthday with her.  She broke her wrist a couple of weeks ago, so I was hoping I could be helpful to her, but she didn't let me do much.  It was very nice to visit with her, and I loved getting to see her grandson (whom I hadn't seen since he was a little guy) and got to meet his wife and kiddoes.

    My sister had supper planned for all of us, and only needed a little help in the kitchen.  I had baked a cake at home before we left, and took it to have.  I also took a couple of homecooked meals from our freezer, so she could take a couple of nights off from cooking when she wants to.  Went back to see sis again, and got in another afternoon visit before heading back home.

3.  A great friend of mine lives near my sister, so we got to meet for lunch while I was there, and talked non-stop.

4.  While we were gone, Jared took care of Rudy for us.  

5.  Picked up sewing machines (2) from repairman yesterday.  Not cheap, but worth it; and I'm really pleased to have found a good repair option.  I have a backlog of projects to get going on.

What we ate this week:

Saturday:  Family supper at Kasey & Beau's

Sunday:  leftovers

Monday:  supper at my sister's house

Tuesday:  big lunch out w/ friend, so skipped supper

Wednesday:  Tuna Salad Sandwiches

Thursday:  Tuna Salad Sandwiches again (we love them)

Friday:  Green Salad w/ remainders of vegetable tray I took to book club today.

  1. I've had a hankering for a good tuna salad with chopped boiled eggs and bits of celery and green onion. Served on white bread. So yum.

    1. I had an apple in the fridge that needed using, so mine had egg, apple, celery, and bread & butter pickles.

    1. I probably wouldn't if we had regular visits, but they are few and far between. :)
