For a second, I thought the Morning Floof was an “E-E Bunneh” but he’s a Ferdinand Floof!

Good morning. James surprised me yesterday, telling me he was in town all day doing his fire extinguisher job. I guess, from what he was saying, this company has the contract to do all the LDS Churches in Washington County. We went to Arby’s.

He told me something interesting. I said I had gone to Walmart at 0400 and he responded by saying I should just order my groceries online and then go pick them up. I told him if I did that, I’d never get any exercise. He comment then was: But if you don’t go into the store, you don’t do any impulse buying and you can stay within your budget. This is the young man who was born with ADHD (Like his dad and G-Ma) and who puts his second paycheck of the month into savings.

I’m thinking his wife must be an awesome person!! I can’t help but wonder how much of this was her idea.... (New level of pride in a kid I’m already very proud of!)

Glad to hear the good report on your grandson. He seems to be getting very grown up! A friend asked me last week whether I used the online ordering at Walmart, and I said No, I like to check the clearance prices. However, if I did order online, I might save overall by not buying stuff we could really do without, and not taking kids in the store, with their everlasting, “Can we get ....?”
