My hubby is also getting close to retirement, but we still have a few kids to get on their own first! :D ..

He works north of Seattle and getting close to retirement. He has put in 26 + years with four more to go. We have blue Mondays too but we also have three day weekends due to his schedule 4/10's. We are hoping to go 3/12's. We are waiting for that day in 48 short months we can retire to our own 25 acres and build a sturdy well insulated small home, garden, enjoy the lake (in summer months) and just enjoy the time with each other, our children and grandchild.

I have used your recipe for homemade laundry soap and many other homemade recipes. Many people may look at me like I'm nuts when they find out I make many things at home instead of buying them, but I don't care! I enjoy it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692013651677797797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-75438035150055868382015-03-03T07:36:11.601-08:002015-03-03T07:36:11.601-08:00Hi Crystal,

My Mom always told me that things could be better, but they could also be worse so be thankful for all God blesses you with and use it to His glory.<br />God bless, Marsha Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-6293834888618162842015-03-03T04:01:15.495-08:002015-03-03T04:01:15.495-08:00This is a good post.

I've seen that advice before or my favorite is about people-if you have negative people in your life or ones that drag you down, etc., move them out of your life. How does that work if it's a family member? It really does come down to your heart and how you deal with things. <br />But I think that if you can make a change and it is for the better then you should do it. Especially if it will better your life or your quality of life. Something that should be thought through and prayed about tho. <br />Patty Hallhttp://hallhaven.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
