Inspired by Beth

June 15, 2025 by Lauren 1 Comment

Whenever we attend a get-together, Beth always brings a veggie tray. She has the divided Tupperware tray that has seven spots for different things. It’s always nice to have vegetables around, and this is a good way to do it. She says she keeps in in her fridge all the time for handy munching.

When the Peperkorns came for graduation, I thought it would be nice to do the same. Our local thrift store had a round option, but with no dividers. It works great when it’s full, but when it’s empty it’s a little weird.

I looked online for a loooooong time for a rectangular option. There’s a cool one for traveling because the lid is level with the tops of the sections, but that’s not very useful for heaping stuff. Plus, it’s small. I wanted bigger with a taller lid.

So, I bit the bullet and bought it. It takes up less real estate in the fridge, and I’ve gone through three rounds of vegetables with the old one (that is on it’s way back to the thrift store) and one full cycle with the new one.

(The round one had just been washed – it’s not really that spotty.)

Let’s see how long I keep this up!

A clothes shave

June 7, 2025 by Lauren 2 Comments

Anyone who reads this thing knows that we are not big spenders. I can be incredibly cheap and later have regrets, but we’re also frugal. For instance, I spend the big money on Smartwool socks, but they last For-Ev-Er. The cost per wear is pennies. Maybe ha’pennies. The current problem, though, is that Lloyd has […]

Berry nice, Dad!

June 4, 2025 by Lauren 3 Comments

My Dad is a very thoughtful person. He knows that Lloyd’s favorite kind of pie is blackberry, and he listened to me complain about how incredibly expensive blackberries are (fresh and/or frozen)…. …… so he sent us some blackberry bushes. Four, to be precise. He told me about a week ago about his surprise, so […]

Mayhem

May 31, 2025 by Lauren 5 Comments

Hi.- remember me? Lots and lots has been going on this month. A few weeks ago our pastor spoke about ‘May’hem – all the things that May has going on. I’m not even doing a bunch of things that other people are doing, but man, this treadmill is never ending. End-of year/start of summer/ ‘goodbye’ […]

My poor little ego

March 3, 2025 by Lauren 4 Comments

I know, I know, it’s been forever. For the memory archive, so much has happened: My uncle Norman died; Deborah’s dad, also; there was a big accident at the center but God was merciful and good; I’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis and osteopenia (I have an appointment on Thursday to come up with a plan); […]

The Thanksgiving Miracle

December 7, 2024 by Lauren 2 Comments

I don’t often put gas in my truck (since I only drive it 1 1/2 miles a day), but when I get to put gas in the Prius on the weekend, it’s exciting – because it means a trip to Costco! The Lincoln store always has gas that is cheap (around $2.50-$2.70 is a good […]
