Finally a Trip to El Paso!!!

It seems like forever since we got a chance to go through El Paso and stop to visit with the kids and grandkids. We had to stay out almost three weeks, but it was worth it to take the California load that got us through west Texas. I tried so hard to get some good pictures of the boys, but they never hold still. Here are a few of the better ones. I don't think I ever got Bailey to look at the camera.

coupon clipping craziness

While we were home for a few days I meant to put some pictures of our snow storm on my blog but every time I sat down at the computer I was distracted by coupon websites. I didn't know there were so many places you could find money saving coupons. I must have printed 20 or 30 coupons to use at the grocery store. Then of course I went to the store and didn't take the coupons with me because I didn't want to waste them at Savalot when I can double them at Krogers. Now I need to work on my grocery list that I can print out every week so I get the best deals and use the right coupons. No wonder people pay for someone to watch the sales and tell you which coupons to use. Saving $.50 is a lot of work. Every time I print a coupon they also include an ad or a recipe. When I have to replace the ink cartridge in my printer I hope I can find a coupon. Of course, I won't be able to print it if I'm out of ink. Guess I'd better plan ahead for that. This is getting so complicated. Where did I put that coupon for Excedrin?
