Meet The Misers

I'm Peanut, and I am the keeper of this blog. I'm married to Sparky, and we have an almost two year old little girl, Bee, a dog named Glenn, and Lila Mae Cat. We reside in beautiful Echo Park, California. We are not really misers in the true sense of the word. To really be a miser you have to actually have a bunch of money to hoard. We do not have that. We are just a couple of not so very rich people trying to raise a family in today's depressed economy. And I've a feeling that things are going to get way worse before they get better (I have got to stop reading the Business section of The Times.) But it the mean time, since what we do have is plenty of time, we just want to enjoy life as much as possible with next to no money. 

Today, for instance, we took Bee and Glenn The Dog to Elysian Victory Memorial Grove and walked on the paths. Bee loves it there, and she toddled around carrying her purse containing her toy cell phone (just in case she gets a call), and we followed. It's a nice park with views of Dodger Stadium and the distant foothills. There is a marker there from World War I,  put up by Daughters of the American Revolution in 1921. So it's historical, the baby learned a little something about American history, we all enjoyed the beautiful weather, and it was absolutely free.
