I tend to be frugal although some would say miserly. But the thing is I have to be in the mood to spend money. And once I get started I just roll with it. So far this new year (and we're only in February) I've replace a 15 year old couch, 25 year old tables, 15 year old window treatments, and am working on having my master bathroom updated. One sunny afternoon I looked into my "new" den. The light was shining on my flowers. I thought "Wow! This is my favorite spot in the world." I am so grateful for and blessed with a quiet, simple life. I've made it to a healthy 65 so everything else is just gravy.
P.S. Every time I make I new post I look at Casey's page. I miss her.
