We have a decent house with a very warm atmosphere. We work at it constantly to get it the way we want.
We are watching our pennies so we can pay off our bills. However, we had to make a not-so-frugal purchase, lately.
Let me explain. We are working hard to pay off our debts...land...mortgage...a couple of credit cards. We are whacking at them really hard. Dave Ramsey is my hero. However, even he wouldn't agree with this purchase.
We had Thanksgiving at our house again this year. It is my holiday to celebrate with family and friends. Our old dining set had a very bad set of creaks and cracking going on. It was 35 years old when we received it as a gift. We had it for 18 years, ourselves. We donated it to someone who needed a dining set. We knew our chairs were on their last legs - so to speak. We actually held our breath during the fellowship as we had done some work to shore up the chairs. So we went out to get something more stable. This is really stable. The price was very good. I hope Dave won't complain too much.
We had our first dinner at the table this evening. It was nice and comfortable and romantic. We needed that!
I made a new recipe and we enjoyed it very much.
Take care. I hope all of you are in a better situation than you deserve. (kinda, sorta what Dave says.)
