I am worn out from facing Black Friday. No, I didn’t go at midnight like a lot of people. My niece and I left at 8 AM. I went by the post office and mailed a package to Australia. Then to K Mart and Wal*Mart and finished off at Culvers for lunch. I definitely am through with my Christmas shopping now and much poorer for it. Thanksgiving morning my daughter and I went out early in the morning and I bought the bargains.
The Thanksgiving meal with Mike’s brother’s family was very nice. Lots of good food, way too much to mention. I had quite a time getting all of their family straight, who belonged to who (or is it whom?) etc. But it was fun and they were all very nice to me. Rousing games of Uno and Trouble were played with Tessa (who is almost 5) taking an active part. That child is really bright!
It is sunny today but windy and very cold. It is 32 degrees and I don’t think it will get much higher today. I guess winter is here.
I hope you all had a very nice holiday and remembered to count your blessings.
Beth
