Clipping the Credit Cards

I'm cuttin' up, but I don't think credit card companies are funny

I'm cut­tin' up, but I don't think credit card com­pa­nies are funny

It’s a bold new credit world out there and I’m learn­ing very quickly that I don’t like it. Last week, I can­celled our Sears store card because they had raised our inter­est rate to over 25 percent.

I’ve had this card for nearly 3 decades, and I have to admit, cut­ting it up felt a lit­tle like los­ing an old friend, albeit an old friend with whom I shared a dys­func­tional relationship.

I'm ready for scenes like this one again 

and leaving scenes like this to memory

and leav­ing scenes like this to memory

Today, the weather came in like a lamb. Let’s hope it stays and ush­ers March out the same way.

The weather hasn’t really been coop­er­a­tive, but it is March 1 and around here, that is sup­pose to mean that spring is just a few short weeks away. Many peo­ple start plant­ing here by April 1.

I’m going to be using half of my friend and neighbor’s gar­den this year to plant some toma­toes and other veg­gies. However, I will have to get with them to see exactly when they plan to start plant­ing. Our soil here on the side of the moun­tain is not good for plant­ing and our friends at the top of the moun­tain offered part of their huge gar­den area.

I do know I’m ready to look toward spring and our to-do list that will take us out of the house.
