Now we study the adds....usually hit two or more stores plus the produce stand.<br />Love the produce stand.....fresh veggies that the owners know where the veggies are from...'cause they've picked them up at the farms...<br />And i can get "cull" ( odd size/looking) bell peppers......2 for a $1.00<br /><br />I uset'a get excited if something i actually needed was on sale....Now i get excited if it's on sale and i have a coupon that the store will double...<br /><br />I uset'a have a drawer full of "beauty" products. Now it's blow-n-go with the hair and chapstick.<br /><br />I uset'a drive a teal green/blue Ford T-Bird. Now it's a black Ford pick-um up truck with 4-wheel drive and i love to see the leaves fly around when i speed down mountain roads...<br /><br />I uset'a fuss and moan when the temps got below 70 degrees 'cause i'd need a sweater or jacket. Now i run out in the pj's trying to take a picture of the first snow flake of the year...or the first red leaf...first spring blossom along side the driveway or the first tomato in the container garden...<br /><br />I uset'a get all upset if some sorta critter made it's way into the yard...causing the dogs to carry-on.
