A PERSONAL NOTE
There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like...
Oh, look!
I'm back.
No matter how far away I travel and how much I love exploring new places, coming home to America is always a joy.
Aside from sleeping off the jet lag, there are a few things that I wanted to do ASAP.
I needed to replace my defunct Fitbit. I got into such a habit of walking in
Europe and it had such a great impact on my health, that I wanted to make sure I kept it up when I returned. I know it's silly but that little step tracker on my wrist helps me to be motivated, reach my goals, and even exceed them.
I needed some barbecue as only a Southern girl can. While I don't eat the pork skins, the rest of my plate of deliciousness made me feel like a kid at Granny's house. Especially the slaw. I found a restaurant that makes slaw exactly like hers. Add the main dish, succulent brisket, some mac and cheese (the good kind with the crunchy stuff on top), and some hush puppies, and I was a happy camper. The Cheerwine made the lunch complete. (Is just a local, North Carolina thing?) If you don't know what Cheerwine is, it reminds me of cherry Coke but a bit less cola.
I don't drink it often but always enjoy it when I do have it. My daughter tried the Cheerwine Ale, colloquially called CheerBeer. I wasn't a fan, but I don't like beer much anyway.
I also had some products I doled out for myself over the past six months to replace, and it was so nice ripping into those packages. I'm reading a physical book I can hold in my hands instead of a book on my Kindle and I'm so happy about it. It's the little things, you know?
I've got some big changes coming, and I think you guys will enjoy following the journey over on TheFrugalite.com.
I know, I know. It's still summer and all you want to do is hang out by the lake or wade in the creek and soak up that summer sun. Who want's to think about the end of these golden days already?
Well, I hate to remind you but fall is coming at us fast and if we're going to grow an autumn garden, we need to start figuring out our plan.
If you want the best fall garden you've ever had, do I have some information for you!
On Thursday, July 27th, my friends are hosting a free fall garden training! Learn important tips and techniques for growing more food later in the year. Join them for a live Q&A too, to get your real-life questions answered. You'll learn about what to plant in a fall garden, how to calculate planting dates, and so much more.
