Hi all!!!
Man the last week and a half have been totally Nuts.
We had two graduations two days of dance recitals and a family trip to Seseme Place with the Inlaws and the Inlaw's Inlaws. I haven't had much time for anything. I have so much back blog reading I may be doing it all night. Not to mention updating my blogs and finishing up my plans for this blog.
I have now purchased my own URL for the Crazy Green Cheapskate blog. I don't know when the full move will be finished but part of my files are already there. Here is my new URL: crazygreencheapskate.com. I was going to go with something shorter like just green cheapskate but someone bought up all those urls. They aren't using them as far as I can tell they just bought them up. Go figure!
More Cheap Summer Fun!
Time for a classic summer past time.
Go for a picnic in your local park.
Take along your frizbee some balls and a kite. Maybe a couple of good books to read in the shade.
And for desert try this no frost cake. Perfect for picnics because there is no messy frosting to deal with.
