time flies

May has come and almost gone in a blink!  I cannot believe it is almost June.  As is typical with our family, things have been a bit crazy.  We just got home from a visit with Nina (Jeff's mom) in Port St. Joe.  Jeff and Ben went down on Sunday and spent several days fishing and hanging out with Nina while I worked and ran around like a crazy person up here in Tifton.  Both my boys caught fish and Ben even hooked a blue crab with his tiny Lightning McQueen fishing pole!  :-)



On Thursday I left to join them in PSJ.  On my way I stopped in Tallahassee to shop at Target and Publix.  I scored great deals at both places!  At Target I got Jeff's favorite deoderant for $.73 each,  I got my favorite Glade room sprays for $1 each and I got two boxes of Zantac for $.21 each!  Woot!  But my best couponing experience ever was at Publix.  I got 6 bags of Pedigree Dentastix, two bottles of Wishbone salad dressing, and 4 boxes of Ronzoni pasta for...wait for it...$0.00!  It was awesome!!  You just can't do better than free, so I was very, very excited!

Jeff boiled us some shrimp, corn and potatoes for dinner after I got into town.  It was AWSOME!  On Friday, we spent all day in Panama City with the Colravy family.  We had a great time with them at their house and at the beach and then wrapped up our evening at Olive Garden.  It was so great to catch up with our dear friends!  Oh how we love and miss them!

Saturday was hang out with Nina day!  We went to the Farmer's market and to the Piggly Wiggly where I scored some great couponing deals on Crackerfuls and Chex Mix!  Then we hung out at the house.  Jeff made us burgers, onoin rings, and fried green tomatoes for dinner - can you say YUM?!

On Sunday I got to do all my CVS-ing at the brand new CVS in PSJ.  It opened that day!  It was so cool to shop in a brand new fully stocked store!  I got every single deal I was looking for!  I spent $46 for about $200 worth of stuff which included 4 Coke 12 packs, 5 bottles of spray sunscreen, 4 bottles of body wash, two deoderants, 2 bottles of fingernail polish, 2 cans of shaving gel, a box of Advil, a box of Thermacare heat wraps, a pack of gum, a box of q-tips, a box of Always, and other stuff I can't remeber right now!  It was a pretty great trip even if I did do 5 transactions!  Then we all enjoyed Sunday woship at Highland View Baptist Church with Nina.  It was a nice, relaxing day.

We came home on Monday and after unpacking the car for what seemed like an hour, we finally got settled into the house.  Scout welcomes us home with much tail wagging and heavy breathing!!  Thanks to our frined Sheri for feeding her and watering our tomatoes, squash, bell peppers, and cucumbers whole we were gone!

Now that Ben is out of school and Jeff is between semesters we are taking our schedule day-by-day as far as when we work/write, who has Ben when, etc.  Soon, though Jeff will start teaching again for the summer and we will fall back into some sort of rythym.  Poor Ben is likely to go stir crazy if we don't figure out some cool things to do, however.  Any suggestions?
