Frugal Thursday & Party Plans

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up. Proverbs 21:20 It was a very busy day Thursday dealing with mom's birthday party planning and financial matters. It is only a small party but because I live out of town it is always a bit more difficult to get everything organized. I've bought her a small gift that she will really like. It is a child size pendleton blanket that she can use as a lap blanket. It will be much warmer than the one I made her a few years ago. I hope mom will enjoy herself and feel special for the day. I've been rather worried about her as she has been feeling frail and weak for some time now. This will be her opportunity to see those that mean a lot to her. She will be 79 on Sunday. Many years ago I used to tell her she will live until she is at least 82 because she used to think she wouldn't make it to the age she is now. If we are blessed to be able to celebrate her 80th birth
