I mentioned to my hubby the other day that I wanted to buy new silverware soon, and wanted to be on the look out for a sale. So being the shopper that he is, he started the search. What it lead us, was not good! We realized that everything is made in China………we looked in JCPenney, Kohls, and a few other places. We thought we had hit the jackpot when we saw American Living, surely this would be American made, but to our demise, that too was made in China. Incredible, wouldn’t you say!

We had since looked up a website that only has American made products which we will do our best to use. It just was an eye opening experience to find most of our products are made outside our country, where we absolutely need the money. I could go on about this and the unions, who forced companies to look elsewhere for labor but I won’t.

We have also started looking for the wonderful silver eagle………..or several of them.

Oh, where is our country headed??

Two days ago we went out and brought a rider lawn mower, it was time. It was a long season last year with a push mower. I really thought I could do it and with my oldest, believed I could keep up with the grass, I was wrong. Plus, I have always enjoyed mowing the grass but for the last 10 years, I enjoyed mowing with the comfort a rider! So this year I will go back to having fun mowing the grass……no teak outdoor furniture for me, I will be just fine with my mower!
