A Thrifty Week at Harvest Lane Cottage #13


It's a very short list this week because of our vacation at Beaver Lake in Arkansas.  We had a terrific time.  I'm also posting this late.  The trip itself was very thrifty because we stayed at a friend's lake house.

Here's this week's thrifty activity:

~ I hemmed a pair of jeans for my mister that had gotten ragged around the hem.

~ I made laundry detergent again.

~ I took boiled eggs, mayo, and homemade bread on our trip to the lake.  Our first meal was egg salad sandwiches.

Blessings,
Laura
Happy at Home
~and~
at the Lake!

    Hi Roxy,
    I'm glad you found Homespun. It's an encouraging blog.

    Going to the lake sounds delightful and egg salad sandwiches take me back to my childhood. Thanks for sharing your week.

    You are so right about picnics. I look forward to enjoying some Autumn picnics this year. I'll be over for a visit in just a bit.

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
