Time to start blogging again...

It had been 2 1/2 years since I have blogged and I am thinking I need to start again. Not sure if anyone will read it but it will give me a place to share bits of life, ideas, bargains and all the other stuff in between. Hopefully along the way it will bring a smile to someone's face...most likely grandmas and grandpas!
