I am a SAHW, no kids.  We do fine, my husband makes a very good income as a governement employee with excellent benefits.  He has a very bright career if he chooses to stay with the DoD.  But should he choose to move on to bigger and better pay we would still do fine.  We save 50% of our income and have since he was in ...

 It is running $4.25 here today...hubby heard diesel is going to hit $6 a gallon by the end of next week...geesh!

 Betcha that would be wonderful over pasta.....or mixed with chilled rice and served with grilled anything...wonder if I could add some crunchy chopped cauliflower to it.....hhhhhmmmmmmmmm......and maybe used as a stuffing for fresh picked summer sweet peppers......    :))))))

 WOOHOO!!  Thank so much CharlieB, we are definitely hitting that market on our way out of town.  We are going to stop by Country Gardens after I land(I am hitting the ground running!), then off to the Farmer's Market.  The next day we are off on a bus trip to Shipshewanna, then home to rest a while and off to the ...
