"Ma, you're getting old...."

Yes, my dear sons say these kinds of things - boys are brutally honest and any sensitive bone in my body has been desensitized over the years :-) so I'm quite used to it by now.

Today, though, I came face to face with the reality of aging me thinks. I was making a purchase in a store and couldn't quite figure out why the price rang in cheaper than what I thought it would be. "Must be a sale today," I reasoned, but then decided to check the receipt once I was home. GULP...double GULP....I received a 'Senior's Discount'. Oh boy...maybe it's time to color the grey... But on second thought, I do love receiving discounts :-)

Charities

Ever wonder how much of your donations are going to administration, advertising, salaries? Here is a link with a wealth of information so you can make an informed decision before donating to any charity:

One of the very well known charities, World Vision, does a lot of advertising to get people to donate. We were absolutely shocked at the salaries of those in management with this organization. We're thankful that detailed information is made available - all one has to do is a little searching via that website.

Shopping Carts

I'm looking for advice/suggestions. Because we are likely relocating to an area that is within walking distance to a grocery store, I would love to walk instead of using the vehicle. So I've been searching for shopping carts to wheel groceries home.

My boys would probably disown me if I pulled one of these aluminum two wheeled shopping carts - not that I really care myself but I would rather our two remaining sons live at home for a while yet lol...

I came across the name 'Rolser' on amazon and was impressed....until I saw the price.... I'm wondering if there are other products similar to Rolser out there. Does anyone know?
