Just some random thoughts

It's hard to believe, but school will be starting back up in a few short weeks and the stores are stocked up on all those items the students will need. I just heard on the news that the average spending this year will be $635 per family. So many families cannot afford that, including my daughter who has 2 little ones that go back to grade school and a son that's going back to college. He's such a great kid. He worked all summer in a factory and banked all his money. He hated that job so much but it was a good lesson for him and gave him more determination to finish college so he won't end up working in a factory the rest of his life like so many in his family.

 

The House of Windsor now has a new heir. Kate and Prince William had their baby boy. I'm not one of those English royalty groupies, but I am happy for them. Now all they have to do is 'officially' name him. They say it could take weeks because when the parents do decide, the name has to go through all the proper channels in the court and the throne to approve it.

I think I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was hooked on this new TV show and now I have Hubby watching it. Last night's episode of "Under the Dome" was really good.

Our government had a plan to break the dome that had fallen over Chester's Mill and it appeared the plan back-fired on them.

No spoilers here.  :)


I'm hungry for a piece of pie and a cup of coffee. This happens to me every evening. Hubby just laughs at me but I'm serious. Now I'm going to have to struggle to get the image and the taste out of my head. Do you ever get sudden cravings like that? What do you do about it? If I indulge and run out to the grocery, by the time I get back, the craving is gone and another one has taken its place.

I had another good piano lesson today. My teacher is getting a little "tougher" with me, but by the time we finish, I feel so encouraged. I'm going to have to practice more this week, but I'm having a good time and learning a lot. 

I hope you had a good Tuesday.
Until later...................
