And they are off!!! The 2008 Olympics in Besinge have begun! I found it great to watch, and found myself not always rooting for America. With so many great athletes competing to place #1, it just fills your heart when you hear their stories and then see how they perform. I am completely swept into a competitive swirl as I engage in watching the competition.
The dollar is going further in the gas tank, and I couldn't be happier. I filled my tank, and saved $10.00. Does this mean the prices of those groceries will go back? Only time will tell, but I have my doubts. I have found that the prices in the major supermarkets are less on Tuesday and Wednesday... By Friday, they raise the prices for the weekend traffic, then by Tuesday again, they are reduced. So by shopping for food on Tuesday or Wednesday will be more cost effective if you are looking to save some dollars.
I spent my weekend with Grand Daughter Faith! We had so much fun. It's been a long time since her and I had the weekend to ourself! She loves this game calls "Sims 2", so we played that, and she is so engaging in that game. It just brought happy smiles for both of us. And her reading skills are improving. Her daddy, who hasn't been active in her life, promised her a couple of weeks ago that he was going to send her some new shoes, and true to his word he did! Thank You Dad! She's beaming from ear to ear.
