Well, we had a nice surprise recently. A substantial loan to a close relative was repaid! We had not expected to get the money back so it was a good thing, after about 6 months! It comes with a feeling of being happy to have helped someone out of a difficult time.
Have you ever loaned money and did you get it back? Would you loan money?
In other news, we planted a young tree about a month ago, a bit more than a seedling in the back yard and yesterday the top half of it had broken off. Was it a squirrel, was it the lawn care company, was it the wind? I think, I hope it will grow back.
If you celebrate Halloween, have you bought your Halloween candy yet? It's time to! I got a box of assorted fun-sized Mars bars, Snickers, Twix, M and M's. We won't worry about leftovers! I personally love Mars bars.

No, I have never lent anyone money. I think it's a bad idea to do so unless you are so rich you can kiss the money goodbye. Too bad about the young sapling! And no, we don't celebrate Halloween anymore, though my grandkids do.
ReplyDeleteGigi I'm never comfortable with lending money but we actually did not hesitate in this case. Let's hope this is the end of that!
DeleteI did Christine and it was recent and it was a large sum of money. I used to love Mars when I was in college, when I could not afford them. Why I don't have them now I don't know. I'm going off to look for your "bottle".
ReplyDeleteOcean Girl, I hope you will get the money back sooner rather than later! And it's better that you don't have Mars bars anymore!
Deletethat was a lovely surprise to be repaid when maybe not expecting it.I hope the tree manages to survive with its injury, I have never saw full size bars in boxes, wow, those wouldn't last long in our house either, if there were any left after Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, they are tiny 'fun-size' bars as opposed to the large bars!
DeleteWe loaned money to a relative more than a decade ago. Never got it back (and at this point I don't expect to). We've recently had more success, though-two months ago we lent a small amount to someone else, and have already received some of it back.
ReplyDeleteKathy it's difficult to know what is the right thing to do, then you hope it turns out ok!
Deletethat's a lot of candy
ReplyDeleteI think we will have a lot left over.
DeleteChristine I love mars but I never buy now I dont know why:)
ReplyDeleteI bought four small bags, 2 Hersheys bars, 1 twix, and 1 York peppermint patties. I don't know if the Yorks will be around by Wednesday!
