My wife and daughters got me a new laptop for Father's Day!
Certainly a surprise for me. I am the type guy (like many others) who is content with a card on Father's day.

Also,following up on a previous post...my wife did accept a new position which will allow her to change fulltime employment to a better paying and less demanding job.

I got to spend some relaxing time with my wife at the beach and later in the pool.

I got caught up on some needed yardwork, including fertilizer for the yard. It is supposed to rain tonight....yeah.

My daughter (home from college) starts a summer job at Target this week. I love the sound of that!

My wife has an interview on Monday for a new job. She is hoping for a job change that is less demanding on her physically...so we are hoping for the best.

All in all...a relaxing weekend. Hard to come by, and much appreciated. Hope all have a financially sound week!

I've been negligent in posting to my blog. So many of you are much more disciplined in this regard.

I am, however, reading them daily. I am watching closely.....and learning from each of you. So, thanks for your dedication. We all benefit....even the lurkers!

Feel like I am on a runaway train.

Extra charge on phone bill (one-time charge to set-up online billpay).

Extra high water bill (we had out of town company in May....extra laundry and showers).

Extra high electric bill (clothes dryer and hot water....see above).

Truck repairs in May.

Graduation gifts in May.

Etc...........
