It is cold here in Wisconsin (about -10 below, and feels like -30 below). Even though the heat keeps going on, it still feels cold in the house, but when you look out the window at the frost covered trees, it sure is pretty.

A lot has happened since I last wrote, the biggest thing being my MIL coming to live with us... it's been a challenge so far, but we're plugging along one day at a time.

I'm also working full time at the library, which is wonderful. What a great way to spend one's day, surrounded by books.

And S. is very busy with various art going-ons, including a solo show in October... never to early to start planning for that (frames to buy, mats to cut, etc...)

More frugal thoughts and ideas coming very soon, hopefully tomorrow.
