I had my oatmeal at McDonald's this morning then I went to Evan and Rowan's soccer game with Sheri and Kim.  I spent most of the game visiting with Addy and Ruby.  Tomorrow they have their Primary program and I am going to miss it.

While I was gone to the soccer game, James rented a U-Haul trailer.  I am so happy!  I hate those flatbed trailers we have.  Michael helped us load it up.  Speaking of Michael here are a couple of pictures.  One was posted by Sheri on Facebook and the other by his dad.
Once we were loaded we headed for home.  I let James go the Globe way because I was hungry for Burger House.  I got a bean burro and ate it right away.  I save my green burro for tomorrow's lunch.  James ordered two mixed burros and a green burro for himself but ended up with three green burros. 

When we got to Vernon we unloaded the trailer and then tok it to Harold's place in Linden to return it.  We came back home and unloaded the 350 cans in the back of James's truck.  We were exhausted when we finished.  I took a much needed shower and we settled down to watch a Hallmark movie and Elementary before going to bed. 

I found these interesting statistics on Facebook today:
"11 states now have more people on Welfare then than they do employed.  They are: Hawaii, California, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, and Maine.  Last month the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012 the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168 a day in government support. (Food stamps, housing, child care, Medicaid, etc.).
Being on Welfare now pays the equivalent of $30 an hour for a 40 hour week, while the average job pays $20 an hour.  The mean income in America is $50,000 a year.
