Happy Saturday!
We are off to meet friends today and go bowling. That's a nice start to the holidays.
We've found out that a local wildflower meadow has opened again this year, so we are going to go and try and see that at some point soon. It was stunning last time, and they open it for charity."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
