One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Quote of the Day “Monday has been cancelled. Let’s all go back to sleep.” ~Lucy the Puggle Dog

Thanks everyone for the anniversary well wishes as well as letting us know about the forest fires in Southern Oregon. I guess we are going to have to scratch that trip for now and go another time. 🙁 Maybe we’ll start looking into plan B: the San Juan Islands.

The temps are warming up … 90 in the forecast for today {gag!} and basically high 70’s to mid 80’s the rest of the week. Oh well, I guess it’s good for the tomato and squash plants.

Stay cool everyone, and enjoy your Monday.

  1. Hi Mavis! We were just at Crater Lake for 3 days last week. It was very smoky due to the forest fires in the area. Two of the afternoons you could see only about 10 feet in front of you. Those days there were no fabulous views of the deep blue water from the rim. You couldn’t begin to see the water. One day was clear till about 1 p.m. and fortunately that is the day we took the boat ride on the lake. The various fire rangers said this was a typical summer/fire season and that it is often so smoky you can’t see until the snow starts flying.

    So plan your trip so you view the crater, drive the rim view road and hike to Cleetwood Cove in the early morning to no later than 11 a.m., or you likely won’t see much. Two of their 3 tour boats are out of commission so you won’t be able to go on a boat unless you have a reservation.

    Consider including a visit to Oregon Caves or Lassen Volcanic National Park on your trip

  4. I’ve always wanted to go to the San Juan islands. I missed them last time I went from Seattle to Victoria. Excited to hear the details.

    That is so funny that Lucy sleeps in her back. Does she do it often? My dog has never done that. If she does get on her back it’s on accident and she freaks out. I call it “getting high centered”.

    • She likes to lay on her back in that particular chair, probably because it conforms to her body really well and so she’s pretty cozy.

  5. I love the picture of your Lucy. It reminds me of my two dogs. JJ sleeps on his back a lot. My Lucy sleeps under the blankets even in the summer.
