We figured that we saved approximately $190 on groceries. Not too bad. We learned a lot this year and have ideas on how to improve next year. We definitely will not plant as many Okra plants. We were sick of Okra by the end of summer. They were the easiest of all the veggies to grow. We will try some new veggies next year.
This year for Thanksgiving Ken and Arlene came and stayed with us. It was nice celebrating with family. We made a feast and ate leftovers for days, yumm! They helped us find a Christmas tree at the tree farm that Saturday. I can't believe that this is already our 3rd Thanksgiving and Christmas in Alabama, but our first in our new home this year.
