That can be so difficult to do. <br /><br />And I completely understand about a son who goes down the wrong path and then does finally get it together. It is a proud moment and I know you are beaming with pride. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681111721765764568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835856675332706410.post-73913730907323362402010-10-29T04:33:22.979-07:002010-10-29T04:33:22.979-07:00how sweet!

It had all but disappeared until the recession hit and stores were realizing that it was the only way they would get business. I haven't used it, but I remember my Mom using it years ago, before credit cards were so rampant.<br /><br />GREAT job this month on not going into any debt, especially for the wedding! Those expenses can get out of control..fast.<br /><br />I kind of chuckled when you said you wanted to "go for a swim" on Christmas...and then I remembered it's your summer! We'll be having much cooler weather, for sure.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835856675332706410.post-24179778385803724462010-10-28T04:31:00.179-07:002010-10-28T04:31:00.179-07:00Congrats on raising a wonderful young man Maureen!...Congrats on raising a wonderful young man Maureen! It's so great to hear how he has turned his life around and is doing so well now. That just shows us that as parents we can never ever give up on our kids no matter what they get up to. And the fact that you're putting on a wedding with NO DEBT is absolutely amazing.<br />We used to have that system of shopping here - it was called layaway - but not for years and years. All the stores here seem to have their own credit card but the interest rates are absurd, like 28%. Needless to say I don't have any of THOSE credit cards. <br />Happy snowflaking:)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.com
