Winter Dreaming


When will this winter end, with the cold, and the flu's that come with it? I've been looking at real estate in New Mexico (dreaming really), trying to withdraw some of the heat from the beautiful views. I was born in Roswell, but we moved to Aurora Colorado when I was 2. I did get to return for a visit to Alamogordo New Mexico when I was 14. Oh the fun we had. That trip planted a little bug that pokes it's head out every so often creating in me an urge so strong it's almost impossible to ignore. If it were not for familial responsibilities I would be there now. For now, in Massachusetts, winter is not over yet!
Oh, I long for my gardens!

Well, money is tight everywhere, but things still need to be done. I took both of the dog's to get their rabies shots and spent $490. Ouch! that hurt. I thought I was going to get out of it for around $300. Guess I was wrong. My husband and I shop together and joke that we go in for a gallon of milk and it ends up costing us $50, that $50 has gradually jumped to $80 in the past 2 months. How do people on fixed incomes do it? We, as a people, are going to have to get creative.
