This has been such a crazy winter season, I’m pretty well convinced that Global Warming is affecting the wacky weather conditions we are experiencing. 

School has been cancelled again today, we were expecting a really bad snow and ice storm, but so far it hasn’t amounted to much, but they really were not sure what to expect and they have learned to be cautious.

My youngest daughter CR got numerous gift cards for Christmas so we are going to go to the Mall here in a little while and we are gonna shop for some sales.  I enjoy shopping with her, the difference between her and my oldest daughter is uncanny, the oldest wants to buy everything and doesn’t care if I can afford it or not, while the youngest takes everything into consideration and feels uncomfortable in having me spend any money on her.  She would rather spend her own.

CR works hard for her money with her Dad at the flea market almost every weekend.  She is known as the ‘banker’ in the house, she almost always has $$ and doesn’t mind lending it to any of us when we need it.

During the summer and fall she takes the veggies that we grow in the garden and sells them at the flea market in the city.  People just love buying fresh produce from a pretty little girl from the country.  We don’t really live in the country but compared to the big city, we might as well be.  She also learned to buy cases of bottled water for $4 and sells each bottle for $1 at the market and she cleans up.  Plus she has made friends with some of the other dealers and they hire her to watch their stand for them when needed and she helps them pack and load up at the end of the day.  Sometimes she comes home with more money than her Dad.
