I had assumed that the kite fell into the traffic on the highway and was killed by some passing car. We drove over to the highway and looked up and down the bar ditches to see if we could find the kite. As I had expected there was no sign of the kite so we returned home. Kris was very sad about losing his kite but this was a lesson learned. You don't let go of the string while flying a kite.
We had school this morning. Kris is learning to add two digit numbers under the total sum of 99. He has not learned how to carry tens yet so everything is under 99. English is going real well. Writing is not his long suit so we have a little trouble with that.
After school Sherri Kris and I packed up the Jeep and headed to town to do some shopping. We are all learning how to shop cheap and stretch a dollar out. One of the places we spend a lot of time in is the Dollar Store. We have now starting buying more grocery items there. We found out they have the bread we buy and some of the other items we buy at the more expensive grocery stores. I even bought me a watch there. I always ask...how much is that...a dollar! I headed back to the back of the store and found dish washing liquid for....yes a dollar! I have died and gone to heaven.
We did have to go to Kroger's to buy our meat but everything else we found at the Dollar Store. This may turn out to be fun.
We finished up all our shopping and then headed home. I wanted to see if I could find the beach access road so I could take the Jeep down on the beach. I drove past he entrance to the park and down the road a ways and found the entrance to that road.
On the way back Sherri hollered out that she had spotted the kite! We made a U turn and sure nuff found the kite wrapped around a stop sign in the turn around on the highway. We had not gone down far enough the other day so we had missed it.
Things are going our way here...

LOVE the Dollar Stores! We are picking up all our Easter Decorations there for our annual Family Easter Party. Then it's always good for things like note pads, envelopes, tape, and of course all the holiday wrapping papers and bows.
It's also easy to take the grandkids there and let them pick out ONE thing and not have to worry about it being a $39 toy like at a regular store. LOL

Awesome cleaning solution is great. Will take stains out of clothes that nothing else will. Use it for everything. Does seem like I always manage to spend 20 dollars though, so am I saving money???
The awesome is great for those black marks on RV's.
We also buy at Aldi's if you ever see one. They have meats that are really good, plus other stuff that the dollar store doesn't have. If you look and aren't super picky between the two stores you can get anything. (cheaper than Walmart).
Good to see you on the road.
