Ours was filled with fun family and fireworks. We saw fireworks two nights in a row. We went to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Saturday and the game was followed by a fabulous fireworks display put on by Atlas.<br /><br />Last night we went to Meredith, NH to watch their town fireworks. We all had a great time!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZzhBQDPMoeE/TDIz1BLvMJI/AAAAAAAAAUU/gliY6FUXSWo/s1600/005.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZzhBQDPMoeE/TDIz1BLvMJI/AAAAAAAAAUU/gliY6FUXSWo/s320/005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490507881661804690" border="0" /></a>Sue Rogers7http://www.blogger.com/profile/12082653825687525374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217185814833723630.post-61466801237033464272009-10-23T18:21:00.000-07:002009-10-23T18:33:33.935-07:00New attitudeOkay, so here I am over a year since my last post. Not very successful was I? I am trying my hand at this again. I have been following other blogs and I find myself <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">completely </span>addicted to them. I follow BargainBecky.blogspot.com and moneysavingmaineac.com daily. At first I was truly amazed at all the money they saved and thought that I could never do anything even close to that. I kept reading however and that lead to me printing my own coupons and buying multiple Sunday papers and now, yes, even I am saving money like crazy! I got over $50 worth of groceries during one trip to Shaw's this week for only $9 and walked out with $24 OYNP in my pocket. My best trip by far. I live in Northern NH and I have access to Shaws, Hannaford, and Market Basket. I am also learning the tricks of shopping at Rite Aid, Walgreens, and CVS. My trip to Walgreens this week netted me a ton of cold medicine, deodorant, Chex Mix, razors and the like and I only paid $17. Amazing! Once I get this blog thing figured out I will add pictures as well. Thanks you guys for inspiring me!Sue Rogers7http://www.blogger.com/profile/12082653825687525374noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217185814833723630.post-75365392964823667482008-01-06T16:21:00.000-08:002008-01-06T16:34:41.322-08:00New to ThisOkay, so now that it is 2008, I have decided to try this blog thing out. My DS, who is 21 and just got married does this all the time. Me I have trouble putting things on paper. I am trying this out though in a effort to get my feelings out and maybe meet some new people.<br /><br /> I am so glad the holidays are over. It seems like I have been on warp speed since before Halloween. Christmas was supposed to be laid back this year because of the wedding but once again it was not. I did manage to cut out a few things after listening to Pastor Scott on Sunday talk about missing out on the joy of Christmas. Sitting there I thought, "Why do I do this to myself?" Does anyone even care that I go to all the trouble? I went home and took the afternoon off. I even took a nap! It felt so great. I have never been one to go crazy shopping, I have the present thing well under control. For me the challenge is making all the special holiday foods that I think my family can't live without. In reality, they can live without them. I just need to realize that I am not a bad mother if everything is not up to my standards.<br /><br />In contrast, the wedding was laid back. I guess that's the difference between a son and a daughter getting married. A son is so much simpler. Praise God for that!<br /><br />Tomorrow I start my organization project for the new year! Hopefully it helps keep things less cluttered? How do people keep up with everything? I resolve to do a better job this year mainly to reduce my stress on a day to day basis, so I don't see things waiting to be done every where. Wish me luck!Sue Rogers7http://www.blogger.com/profile/12082653825687525374noreply@blogger.com0
