A progressive liberal Grandma cooks and tries to find a job, after losing her job of 18 years. Can an older RN find full time work or enough part time work to satisfy her budget needs and help raise her grandkids? What can grannie cook for a family of 6 on a miserly budget? Can a knitter afford her yarn on unemployment?. This blog is morphing from its original content to reflect the realities of 2011.

totally off topic
Parque Infantil Miguel Hidalgo
It's hard to make ends meet any more. Gas prices have doubled, as have the costs of everything else. We give our kids gas money because their paychecks don't stretch enough to cover the cost of getting to school or work. I am sure with the next semester of college, books will be more expensive and we will pitch in for that. Sadly, sigh, where does it end? It's like living with Reaganomics all over again, and that was hard. However, we could at least buy "gasohol" then, at half the price of gas and still get to work...and car pooling. Now we can do neither. I guess we will survive on ground meat, starches and casseroles. It's tough.
Selling out here and buying a dairy farm in Aguas Calientes state in Mexico looks better and better.
