Our Time is Limited, Outside to do list, and the Good deals I bought Online this Past Week!

                                           



Our time is limited. ..We can only bask in 60 to 70 degree weather so long until we have this... snow.  Was this click bait...I think so.  ha ha.

There are a few little things we didn't get wrapped up outside so I'm going to get the ball rolling today.   We won't be able to snowplow with all the things in the way.

to do:

take odds and ends to the trash that are in the yard.  I never feel guilty about this because people pick it up before the trashmen come.

empty rain barrels.  I have two -one is done

get the chicken waterer heater going.

take up patio rug and move the patio furniture to the side.

I never did get the garden pots all clean -maybe I can get that done too.=I just through the rest into the green house and called it good.


Good deals I bought online this past week:  (I follow many different deal bloggers)

I bought a Costco membership for $65.00 and will receive a $45.00 gift card soon (so $20).  We have one that will open by us soon and we will decide if we want to keep up the membership after this year.  In the meantime we went to the Auburn Hills Costco to start the membership.  Let me just say I hope and pray that ours is not that busy!  


                            Our election day cake that granddaughter and I made with the frosting I got on sale.


From Amazon I bought a Duncan Hines Carrot Cake for $1.00, Duncan Hines Whipped White Frosting, 8-14 OZ Cans for $6.65, and Fresh Step Clumping Cat Litter with Febreze Gain Scent, 14 lb for $4.65 (subscribe and save).  



Hardcover book I bought this week was  When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner.   I guess there is a newer edition but I bought this one.  I've heard good things about this book.

WOW! What a great deal on the Costco membership! I've always wanted to get one of those. I love those trash pickups too. Offer anything up for free and it's usually gone asap.

I have that book - it was my dads. He passed in '84 and was reading it while he was ill. It is still marked where he left of.
No snow in near future here - but it will sometime!

Great Costco deal! I enjoyed shopping there when the kids were little. Love the Kirkland brand, but we moved and the nearest Costco is several hours away now.
It is a beautiful day here today, so I am going to try to finish up some outside chores this weekend. Hard to believe that you may have snow in the near future. That cake looks so yummy. Hope you have a fun weekend. How are you feeling?

thanks Kathy, we loved the cake. I sent most of it home with the granddaughter. I'm doing quite well -back is slowly getting better ...no problems so far otherwise. Thank God!
Have a great weekend too!
