An Apology, Been Gone too Long

I am sorry that I have been gone so long. We have been dealing with health issues concerning my daughter, and I have been working a lot lately. I have also just begun my spring cleaning and yard work.

I helped my neighbors to clean out and pack up their home so that they could move. They moved yesterday morning. Before moving, we went through her cupboards and refrigerator, and she sent me home with many different food items. They are a big help to us right now.

Unfortunately, we are going to be losing some of our food money. We already do not have enough, and money has to be taken from other areas to make up for the loss. Those other areas are generally bills, and we have lowered household cleaner and personal hygiene money as well. We are doing what we can.

I know that others are feeling the pinch as well. Food prices, and the prices of everything else, are going up. My income is not. I have to make do with what we have right now, and hope the way is clear for me to take in other children to care for. Until then, we will have to make do.

Today, I am writing a few posts for this blog. A few recipes that may be helpful to others. I will post one today, and then post the rest one at a time as I have a chance.

I hope you are all doing well.
