To do list, sewing, coupon shopping

My Monday to do list- I recycled last weeks and just glued this week’s plans on top of last week’s list.  


Below are dishes I plan to cook from now until the end of May.  They will be prepared in what ever order suits us.  



Below is the dress I finished for our granddaughter Elizabeth to wear when her class visits a one room school house.  It’s pretty standard that Oklahoma 3rd graders study Oklahoma history and either re-enact the Land Run or visit a one room school house.  I remember when my children visited the prairie school house, they really enjoyed it.  
The basket is for her lunch and my daughter used the same basket when she was in 3rd grade. 
I didn’t sew the dress from the scratch but I cut down an adult dress I got years ago at a $1 a bag rummage sale.  



Below are my our pioneer ancestors.  That my fraternal great grandparents.  For awhile, the farmed and lived in a sod house near Cordell, Oklahoma.  It looks like a very hard life to me and  I’m thankful for them.  






I’m still doing some coupon shopping at CVS and Dollar General.  This is what I bought this past Saturday at DG.  I only used Digital coupons,  which you get by signing up for a free account at DG.  
Both stores have similar sales going on this week too.  



I guess that’s all the news I know for now. 
Have a wonderful week everyone ❤️

Rummage sale finds, surgery for a grand and Sprouts

good afternoon,  
Thanks for the hints on my comment situation.  I mostly blog on an iPad but I will go to our desktop and see if that solves the problem.
Terri- I did try deleting my google plus account and that didn’t fix it yet, but I’ll keep trying.  
Again, thanks for all the advice

2 of our grands are out of school today and they spent the night here. 
We went to a benefit rummage sale at a nearby church. 



The Stand and salon chair were $1 each - an amazing bargain for 18 inch doll accessories
The doll is mine that I use as a mannequin when I sew doll clothes.  She is wearing an exercise outfit that I made from my shirt I never wore.  



We found all these like new American Girl books for .50 each. 


The big Tupperware tray seems to be in the brand new condition. 
The pampered chef meat forks are very heavy duty and something my husband has been wanting. 
He also got a like new contractor grade hoe 

I wanted another set of s&p shakers and I think these Crystal ones will be just fine.  


Near ball toss toy was $3.
It didn’t come with balls so I sewed some up super fast,  using old child socks and beans,  

   


This grandson has had a  rough fall and winter with 6 bought of strep. So, he had his tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday.  He had a restless, uncomfortable night but is doing better today.  
He perked up when he saw his siblings and he started happily playing with this ball toss toy.  


Sprouts sent another coupon this morning.  It had great deals on avocados, bell peppers and walnuts. 
I liked the chicken deal- boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.77. 
They were regular priced at $3.99
I put one pack in the crockpot and I’ll shred and freeze it for future meals. 
The others were laid out on lined and sprayed cookie sheets and put in the freezer.  When their frozen solid, I’ll bag them in large freezer bags.  Then I can just thaw out how many I need. 



Have a good weekend everyone ❤️
