Can you believe all the kinds of gift cards you can now purchase at the grocery store? Books, movies, clothing, gas, music...there's no need to go to the mall. I noticed $25 and $50 denominations.
M saw a squirrel scampering through a hole in the roof of the garage yesterday. I googled the problem and it said to try moth balls as they hate moth balls. They also hate loud music and bright lights. He's also going to try to patch the hole.
I have all these new recipes to try and I seem to have lost the cooking spirit for the moment. Back to the old standbys for now. I finally made the baked donuts and they weren't bad. Of course, nothing beats the sugary, fried ones.

Personally, I love gift cards and would never be offended if someone got me one--especially to B&N or Starbucks! It does make shopping a little easier when in a bind.
ReplyDeleteGetting rid of these critters is not so easy, they love to come back!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I think gift cards are great for teenagers too.
ReplyDeleteSoccerMom, I think you may be right, we still can't even get him out of the garage!
Hello Christine
ReplyDeleteWe have those store gifts cards on sale here as well - in the Post Office. Think there may be a few going to some of the teenagers in our family this year.
Take care

I have to confess I rather like the gift cards also. It's better than getting something I don't need. However, my problem is remembering to use the darn things!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a cooking rut too. I promised my daughter that we'll eat better now that my class is over. She told me I'm not allowed to take anymore classes!!
ReplyDeleteI like gift cards. They're not very popular here in Europe, though.
