Since George retired and I for all intents and purposes work from home, adjusting to the time isn't as difficult. We got up at our usual time, and other than George finding clocks we missed yesterday we feel fine. I had a hard...

snowy @snowy22315 (198258) • United States 3 Nov

I found a 3 lb bag of apples at Aldi for 1.99. That was a good price and are full size apples, not like the small ones I usually buy for that. They had cheap avocados there too, although I didn't get one. Bread was 1.25. Anything...
