In the News

The family is in the news again, well at least Jeff and Rachel. Check out this great story that ran on NPR this morning. I hope they get a good response and run it on "All things Considered" which is where they were going to run it originally.



And I don't think my link is working this morning so I am going to put the address in below and you will probably have to copy and paste this address to view the story.

I don't know what is wrong but the link won't load and I don't have time right now to figure out how to make it work.

Enjoy.

Rachel and clothes

Rachel isn't a clothes fiend, or hog like many girls but she does enjoy looking nice. But she is also an incredible bargain hunter. Yesterday we saw a sign that we thought meant a very nice 2nd hand clothing store was going out of business. Rachel went down after school to take a look. The store isn't going of out business, but they were having a winter clearance sale. Rachel has wanted a formal outfit to wear for a variety of events (like out Oscar party). She found a $10 formal that she really liked and that fit. Her favorite dress, that has been at the store for a while now, is still not on sale but below is the dress she found. I continue to marvel at her ability to find bargains that she likes.
