Mass, was the usual mix of understanding Father during the parts and then losing most understanding once he started his sermon. I also got a horrible surprise. One of the students I have known since kindergarten, and who's mother was a teacher in our Catholic schools and I worked with passed away at the age of 26. I cried for awhile a bit ago. This was B and B's only child born to them when B was quite old. Only one was in church this morning and left before Eucharist was handed out. My heart breaks for them.
I went shopping and managed to pick up most of what I needed at our Co-op as I did not want to go to Walmart. We will make do with what we have for this shopping period. Things were a bit higher in cost but whatever.
This is what I managed to get for the pantry for $10.00. It isn't very much.
Some salad dressings, Turtle beans, and Navy beans. Every little bit adds to what we can use if times get tough.
I also bought dried Kidney beans but the cost would have put me over the $10.00 mark so it went in my regular purchases.
Meat was even higher than usual so the only meat purchased was a chicken and that was a bit expensive as well. Good thing that my meat freezer is fairly full. Hopefully I can purchase a beef roast next time around, and some chicken breasts as well. Times are getting pretty tough for people.
I now have the loom set up and ready to be warped. I think I have decided to do two sections of this rug and sew them together to make the rug. The warp will be dark brown and light brown and the weft will be grey and I think brown and smaller strips of green. We shall see.
Working on knitting today, I hope to get the second pair completed. I have pulled the leftover yarn to make two more I hope. Thus getting the stockpile of leftover yarn down a bit more and make something useful for others.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
So sorry for the loss of your friend - my goodness, such a young person.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you this week.
Hi dear Jackie, thank you so much for sharing your posts! I don't buy salad dressing, as I prefer to make my own. I use either extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil, lemon or lime juice, salt and pepper. I have been doing this for decades, so I am used to it. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear about a 26 year old passing away. An only child, too. Bless their hearts.
ReplyDeleteGosh that is very sad - 26 years old is way too young! So sorry to read this Jackie, I can imagine how upset you were. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your former colleague's child. Incredibly sad.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for the loss of the student you’ve known since kindergarten. He was so young, my heart goes out to his parents.

My sympathies to you and the family on the passing of their child. It must be so very difficult to process.
ReplyDeleteGrocery prices here are higher than they were last year, especially meat. Like you, I look for sales.
Enjoy your weaving!
You are doing great on the $10 challenge.
ReplyDeleteHow very sad, I will pray for these strangers. I am in tears for them and their only child. I love your challenge.
ReplyDeleteHow terrible to lose a child, even worse if it is your only one. That must be so hard to cope with.
ReplyDeleteHow awful to lose a child - that's not the correct way of things and has to be so very hard for them.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your $10 challenge but I know we wouldn't be buying the salad dressing because we always make our own. I can't remember the last time we were able to buy a roast of beef - it's priced too high for our budget, even when it's on sale.
