Never Give Up, Never Surrender

It’s so great to find an unexpected deal. We bought store brand dog food at Mounds today and at the checkout were given a $10 gift card! Another great discovery is a brand of discount diapers that are 30% less expensive than the ones we were using before, but still work great. Wish we had found them 4 years ago. Paul’s parents came into town this weekend and brought more coffee as a gift! In addition, Paul and his dad went into New Glarus to watch the Badger game and Vikings game. Lunch and drinks on dad.

Our view of Project Money has taken full effect insofar as we do not want excessive bills:  If we can’t afford it, we don’t need it. Instead of taking the kids somewhere fancy during the dull weather, we took them on a traditional German celebration walk to Heike’s mom’s cabin, with cookies and rice crispy bars as their goal. The Germans celebrate St. Martin’s day with kids walking with candle lit lanterns though their neighborhood. Despite the wind, we were able to walk all the way there without the candles burning out.  The return trip was typical ugly Wisconsin weather but the cheer in the kid’s cheeks and eyes defeated the cold!

With only a few weeks left to go, we’ll meet with Scott at Summit Credit Union to give us a few cheers and swift kicks in the behind to keep the focus, never give up and never surrender.
