DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

Today's Moment: Budget

Here's today's "Take a Moment": Budget

With today's economy, if you haven't planned a budget or even thought about it, make that your new year's resolution. We created a spread sheet in Excel that indicates every payday and each bill and when they are due. Every time Wife gets on the computer, she checks it to see if any are due that day. If any are, she checks the bank account to make sure there's money to cover it, and either pays the bill online or sends a check.

Also, each regular check received immediately gets divided - first to savings, part to each of our personal accounts, and the majority to the joint account for bills.

We don't have much extra, especially in this economy, but at least the mortgage is being paid every month. Is yours?
