Frugal In Florida

Psst ... today's the DAY!!! It's Cinco De Mayo (and yeah, I know, history states, clearly, that this is NOT a day to really celebrate but ... still! It's also my birthday!) I love margaritas.

Really, the garage is not 'bad' as we do park the Tahoe in there, and it's not a storage area. He's very neat & orderly, obsesively so at times so not a lot wrong, just purge time! The kitchen was interesting, to say the least. I did the pots and pans, baking dishess, and my large appliance & mixing bowl sections (3 cabinets, below counters). Tossed a lot.
