HO HO HO
Christmas has come and gone.
We're eatting a big pan of monkey bread with the SIL and grown daughter.
The simple things in life are best.
Catch up tomorrow.

WHAT DAY IS IT?
One of the things that is interesting about not working is the days running together. Let's see now. It's the day before, the day before Christmas. Does that make it Christmas Eve Eve?
Probably.
Any who, here is a Merry Christmas greeting to all of my readers.
Peace. Love and Joy..............

TREE TIP on TUESDAY
Our GRAND son is now into trains. I'm trying to decorate our Christmas tree each year to his interests, adding the GRAND daughter's first ornament this year. God is good!
I have a dear friend, Sunny, who is so creative. She has the touch of a professional with fabric, yarn, you name it, she can make it and make it beautiful! I asked her about decorations for a train tree. She emailed me back to make a track from a roll of adding machine tape/paper. What a great idea!!
I went to Dollar Tree but there was no adding machine tape but I did find two rolls of white crepe paper for, yes, only $1, so in the basket it went.
The steps are:
unroll the paper completely
put something under it before you start to draw the track because the marker will leak thru
first, draw the two horizontal lines
next, add the vertical 'rails'
move to the next horizontal lines
draw until you run out of paper
roll it back up with the right side in
unroll on the tree so the right side should be on the outside
yeah, it looks like a tree wrapped in toilet paper at first but you will see the tracks really quick
THANKS SUNNY!
Rolling it up makes it easier to handle!
Finished!
ALL ABOARD!
FOR THE RILEY!

YOUNG SON, THE WAITER
Our young son is 25, wow, how did that happen? He is struggling to finish college, having to drop out three times because of sickness. He is now taking classes part time. He is a waiter.
If I had a million or two dollars, I would help him, pay off his student loans, buy that ring, etc. I hate that money controls our lives, or should I say, not having money controls our lives. Praying for Jared today and every day.

Sometimes you just have to throw your hands up in exasperation and say
"I give up!".
When its important to you, the excuses will end and you'll dive in.

IMPORTANCE OF A BUDGET
It's time for a tip on Tuesday. The best way to run anything whether it is your household, business, church, school, anything, is to have a budget. It must be a budget that works and one you can stick to for the long term with the main goal of becoming debt free. Debt free? Why? Because you get to keep the money you make!
This is an example of a bad budget:
