Here we are again, another Friday Night in Winslow!

So I don't know what most people do on Friday nights, I mean, really we're too old to go out to clubs and stay out drinking and partying all night.  I know, you're only as old as you feel, and while I don't feel like a little old lady who should sit at home and knit, I also feel grown up enough to not do stupid or unsafe things anymore.

Like I've said before, there's not really anything to do on a Friday night here in Winslow, so we're often left to our own creativity.  While you may think we're nuts for some of the things we find ourselves doing, I think there's peace and serenity in knowing that no matter what we do on a Friday night, we're enjoying ourselves.

So if we're filling 2-Liter bottles with rice or water for long term storage, or if we're working on remodeling our house, or if we decide that we've worked hard enough all week and that we are just going to settle down with a good book or play an old fashioned board game, there's really just no better feeling than to look around you and feel content and happy in that moment.

It's not easy, definitely something that takes a huge amount of work to get to, BUT when you get to the point where you can sit back and take it all in, appreciate the work you've done, know you are with your soul mate, know that you are who you are, and where you are, for a reason, then that's paradise.  That's what it's about.

Goodnight all-
Christina and Damon

Just for fun:
Weekly shopping trip: Bought $72.51 worth of stuff, but after coupons and sales: Spent only $46.36 out of pocket!  Not too shabby!!
