Barn Improvement and French Grocery Store Deals

[@smadaf]

It's rather satisfying to see your husband picking up his tools as soon as he has finished with the lamp.

Yep, I think I'll keep him :)

[@jackiephillips9042]

Yes Aaron. Way to go.. I love how you are slowly but surely getting things completed.

I really wish the grocery stores would do this here in the states. Just love the idea and the whole creative process of figuring what to do with the produce.

[@MyFrugalHomeinFrance]

Yes! I love when grocery stores do bundle deals like this. Figuring out what to do with everything is like a game to me :)

Nice box of veggies & fruit. Love the flowers too, especially yellow ones. Love the barn too, and the door is cool.

[@MyFrugalHomeinFrance]

Thanks. The yellow flowers are mums. Some mums are annuals, others are perennials. I'm hoping these are perennial, so they come back next year.

Lamps are gorgeous. I'll try that too.

[@MyFrugalHomeinFrance]

Thanks :)

This is a wonderful video Erin and husband, thank you both. Such good motivation to get on with my jobs awaiting. Well done both of you. Pam in Texas.x

Thanks, Pam. Good luck with your projects :)

Meanwhile I go to the Day-Old Bread rack by the bakery in the supermarket here and pay about $2 for _one_ baguette of that size. And it's probably not as good as those French ones.

[@MyFrugalHomeinFrance]

I know, I almost never bought a baguette when we lived in the U.S., because it would have cost me at least $4 (I can't imagine what it would cost in today's prices). Here, a baguette is just .38 at Aldi. Very reasonable.

It's interesting that the instructions with the lamp-kit don't just tell you to make an underwriter's knot.

[@maryjolongyear8862]

Do you speak French?

[@MyFrugalHomeinFrance]

I speak intermediate French, which is to say, sometimes I have all the words I need and sometimes I have none of them :)
