Can anyone of you explain to me how a person can spend thousands of $$ on furniture not needed and yet refuses to donate $2.00 a meal at the senior center and is thrilled with bringing home a 1/2 pint container of milk...thinking that she got it for nothing?
Mind-boggling!!
Need a few strengthening prayers. Thanks.
And we all enjoy your posts ... nothing boring about them at all. Your sweet, giving, and caring nature comes through loud and clear ... and your determination and your patriotism and your goodness and your love for others and wanting only the best for them.
As for your m-i-l, I think that kind of selective penny-pinching goes with that generation. Not sure just how old she is but I know that my m-i-l lived through the depression ... and her family was quite poor anyway ... and she definitely has some 'eccentricities' about food costs.
Just keep your sense of humor about it. You're not going to change her at this point so just accept it and realize that it's not earth-shattering ... and try not to let her see you rolling your eyes and shaking your head ... *grins*. God bless you!
