Warming up

It's finally warming up, 71F the high today. So I took advantage of the nice weather and trimmed back some of the honeysuckles beside the driveway and front door walkway that the gardeners don't do. The gardeners handle all the community trees and bushes, these are in our front yard. They're out of control so I trimmed them up a little to keep them in the yard and out of the driveway and walkway.

Went off to get a few groceries. Walgreens had lots of clearance items, and I picked up several Sara Lee pies for $1 to bake and give as gifts, and Mom likes them too. I hit 3 Walgreens in the area since they were all in the same parking lot as the stores I went to and stocked up on them and Orbit Gum which was on clearance for 65c and had a 50c off coupon. Fresh & Easy had fresh ground beef for $1.59 /lb and seedless grapes for 77c /lb, so stocked up on those, plus a few cans of soup for 50c and some fresh chopped onions for 96c and a package of fresh sliced red, green and yellow peppers with onions for $1.96. Then Glaziers had lots of produce on sale... radishes 3 bunches for 88c, leaf lettuce for 72c. I bought a package of stew meat steak for $12 (3lbs) and got a packet of gravy, 5lbs potatoes, 1lb carrots, 1lb salad mix and a dozen rolls all free.

OH - Did I mention I won a $25,000 scholarship a couple months ago? They emailed me today to set up the fund. Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!
