Well I didn't make it here yesterday and it looks like I won't be here today. Today I am going to lunch with some "high school friends." I wasn't sure I could go but one friend almost begged me to come so I caved. I love to be with them but over the last week I have had so much going on my plate that I've been worn out.

I stocked up on groceries yesterday and at the price of groceries, I almost go into shock when I see the bill. I have been buying Oscar Meyer bacon for about the last 4 times I have bought bacon. It has been $3.99 a package each time I bought it (which wasn't weekly..maybe every 2 weeks) and yesterday the same bacon was $4.99. Just floored me. Went up a whole dollar. And so has everything else! With gas and groceries at the highest I've ever seen them, I wonder what this miraculous superman President intends to do about it. (by the way thats a joke ya know!)

I am actually thinking of taking a little leave of absence for a while. Spring is telling me what all I have to do and sometimes I just get overwhelmed. I am not as energetic as I once was and my work takes a lot longer to do. I will see what I must do. Maybe I can just pop in now and then and say hello, until I get caught up with all the things I have let go so long.

I love each and everyone of you all (my FRiends) and I will pop in and see ya when I can.

I know what you mean about the cost of groceries JC, - and the cost of gas is rising too! I only buy what is on sale at the grocery store, unless it is a necessity.

Have fun at your lunch today, and enjoy your visit with your friends.

See you soon, I hope!

Sorry you have so much to do, but understand, especially with weather improving! Hope to see you here when you can pop in! Don’t work too hard! LOL!

Hi, jaycee,

Hope you had a nice lunch with some of your high school friends, and do understand how things can keep us busy away from here.

Has anyone ever seen groceries go down in price whenever whatever it is that causes them to increase so much drops back down?
