		<description><![CDATA[OK, here’s another rant. Another pet peeve. Storage Centers. I know, I know, sometimes your really need a place to stick some stuff for a short period. Aunt Millie died, and left you her antique dining room set, but there’s no room for it in your one-bedroom apartment. Next year, when you finally buy your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it’s no secret to you that I spend Saturday mornings hitting the local tag (aka yard aka garage) sales. For years I’ve maintained a private rant about poorly executed sales—now I have a forum to expound. Read carefully, if you want to have a successful Tag Sale, and avoid being ticketed by the Tag [...]]]></description>

There are really only ten weeks or so to do it—two in June, four each in July and August, and maybe a week or two in September. As a Milford resident the beach is free, as long as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the week-long absence, oh ye faithful blog-followers. I was away on vacation. A cheapskate’s vacation, of course. I opted to spend the 4th of July with my sister in her new Maine abode. My sister Anne and I drove up to Marjie and Bob’s condo in Belfast (north of Camden) anticipating a long, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saturday evening. I was sitting outdoors at the Café Atlantique, with my husband and some good friends. Enjoying the (finally)summer sunshine. Listening to the thoroughly enjoyable blues of Dan Stevens. A little boy, enjoying an outdoor supper with his mommy, clapped enthusiastically after every song, increasing everyone’s enjoyment. Friends waved as they strolled by. The [...]]]></description>

My father used to joke that he’d better never come home drunk (he never did) because he’d be sure to crack his shin on a chair or table that hadn’t been there when he left. How does this relate to saving? [...]]]></description>

I’d promised to join Frank, rain or shine, but I was pleased that Mother Nature, despite the forecasters’ predictions, provided a dry day, with just enough sunshine and breezes to [...]]]></description>

(Although I can’t imagine what local produce, besides lettuces and spinach, could be ripe this soon, and with this much rain.) The opportunity to buy local foods—real foods that have not passed through the industrial food chain—brings a smile to my heart. Have you read either [...]]]></description>

My daughter was a dazzling bride, her groom a stalwart fellow, and Mom didn’t cry too much. But some interesting notes on costs.

		<description><![CDATA[Whatever happened to ladies’ hankies? They used to be ubiquitous. When did they disappear? In preparation for the big wedding, and given that I tend to be quite emotional (I cry at Milford’s yearly fire engine parade), I wanted to get some nice, lacy, feminine hankies—so much nicer than a roll of toilet paper, or [...]]]></description>
