"Are you ready for the summer?"


Yes....are you ready for the summer?  Great movie, one of our top ten of all time to watch.  Reason why I direct your attention to it? 

The Frugalmeisters, well three of them, have bartered our way to summer camp for three weeks.  Frau Frugal will be on a team of registered nurses at camp, Kleinen Frugal will be just having a ball and Herr Frugalmeister will be arbeit just about anywhere at camp.  In exchange for our services, the camp has agreed to pay for our travel to the great state of New York and waive the campers fee which was significant.

We leave in a couple of weeks and have pretty much the month of July to enjoy in the Hudson Valley.  Plenty of pictures to post when we return.

The blog postings have been silent lately as we are working hard to achieve a few goals:
1)  We have found a potential small scale farm location and it currently in foreclosure, bankruptcy, etc....we are doing what we can to see if we can pick it up at auction and then put our house on the market.
2)  Our house is currently the house of never ending problems....pool sweeper, won't sweep, leak in the sprinkler system, finish painting, flooring and a pesky stair step crack has opened on the side of the garage.  We don't know if it is part of a sinkhole or decaying tree roots from a large maple taken out several years ago.  Can't report it to the insurance company as it is now hurricane season.  More investigation to follow.

Anyway, we have found a piece of eden, we are working to secure it as ours and then another step in the right direction of providing for ourselves and only ourselves.

So, I think we are 'ready for the summer', off to see Morty and the gang at camp and more fun on the future.  Thanks for checking in.
