Yesterday morning we visited a young girl in the hospital (Praise the Lord she will be going home today after a skull fracture and bleeding of the brain).  Anyway, we stopped at the Feed Store and uh,oh, they had chicks for sale.  It doesn't take much to thrill me and I have wanted for years to just walk into the feed store and pick out some chicks!!  The chickens that we have were bought full grown and yes, we do have some chicks that hatched out, but I have never bought any.  So, we came home with 6 new chicks.

Yesterday afternoon and evening we had a family cookout.  It was a wonderful time, but we were missing 2 of the family.  Our youngest son is in Fort Knox, KY in boot camp with the National Guard, and the other is in MIss. on a 3 week training with the National Guard.  The past 4 months (with the youngest gone) have been really hard, but I can tell by his letters that he has grown up mentally and spiritually.  Howver, we had a good time with dd and family and daughter-in-law.  One of my grandsons stayed alnight and I'll bet he has been out petting the new chicks 20 times.  God has really blessed this family in the fact that we are all still living fairly near, and I want to enjoy every minute that I can.

Money saving tip of the day:

Don't pass up the day old (or even 2) donuts at the store for a reduced price.  Buy the glazed ones and fry them in butter.  Just enough to warm the insides and make a little crust on the outside.  YUMMY!

Paula Deen has a recipe in her book for Krispy Kreme bread pudding. So, I am thinking a dessert like that when I see day old doughnuts. These can also often be frozen for later eating!

God's Blessings,
