He’s Definitely Retiring

Amber @AmbiePam (107996) • United States 5 Nov

Well, my 70 year old dad (he’s a pastor) has decided to retire at the end of January. No one knows but Diana, my sister, and me. I don’t know when he’s going to inform the church board. He doesn’t really want to, but he feels it’s...

I finally got my second Facebook account back Saturday night after losing my first account 8 months ago. You may also remember I did a discussion about donating to the food banks. I found out that afternoon my dad’s church had had...

April @thislittlepennyearns (65846) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 2 Nov

The last week or so have been just as busy as the last couple of months, but I have a few minutes to sit down in between freelance stuff and laundry to check in. Halloween was good. The kids had a blast. We took them to...

Jim Bauer All is well here, and I am glad to hear all is well there. Looking forward to seeing more of you around here when you find the time. But I know you have to go where the money is.

One thing about this wonderful little world here we call myLot, is that we tend to share a lot of foodie posts. That means there are always myriad ideas of things to cook or try to keep us well occupied in our kitchens. Take this...

McDonalds UK getting rid of plastic straws.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65846) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 15 Jun 18

They are replacing them with paper straws. Which to me just means a different kind of waste. But whatever. I dont really know how much this is going to accomplish. Especially if plastic straws will still be available behind the...

Jim Bauer It never accomplished a damn thing is what matters to me. And paper straws were never better. Perhaps finding a way to make them recyclable would have been a better idea and I am not sure why we don't start with that as a solution when it comes to things like...

April @thislittlepennyearns (65846) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Aug

It’s late, but we slept in (oops), and then decided to make a “quick” Walmart run… which, of course, turned into buying half the store. Honestly, I think Walmart sprinkles something in the air vents that makes you forget your list...

I cheated a little bit tonight and let the store do the hard part—I grabbed a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the bird myself. But hey, everything else was homemade, so we’re calling it rustic authenticity. My chicken and...

I prefer not to fly, but we are next month so I’m sure I’ll deal with it. My sister made a list of things for me to remember to take, but I’m still packing as light as I can. I mostly just want to keep as much energy as possible,...
