For Christmas that is. Whew, Thanksgiving came and went so quickly. I had a wonderful meal with my family that day. My mil was able to come for turkey, but didn't stay long. She just can't sit very long and likes to be in her recliner at home. Can't blame her. Was very thankful that we were able to share it with her again this year. Our daughter Nicole said Grace which was very nice. We certainly have had so much to be thankful for this year. Finished the night with yet "another" slice of pumpkin pie and coffee before going to bed. I knew I had to be up early on Black Friday, and was able to get close to 5 hours of sleep. Not too bad. Was up at 3:30 on Friday morning and at Kohl's by 4:05. I went there for some towels and flannel sheets for myself. Got a couple small things while I was there, but I really went for those. My friend Joan said they must have been some "really good towels" lol. They were! I didn't feel like it was as crowded as the previous year, and was able to get in and out of places in a reasonable amount of time. That was nice. Made it back home near 9:30 to grab a bite to eat and was back out the door to go to dye group at Joan's house. We had a nice time as usual! We talked about doing a hooking project after the New Year. I'm looking forward to doing it. We are going to learn how to hook wool to look like a plaid, hook wool to look like braiding, and finish off with a braided edge on the piece. Sounds very interesting, and will fill you in on it as time gets closer. Will definitely learn a few things from it, that's for sure.
It was a very very long day yesterday. I was dragging by night time, but wouldn't you know, I was back out in the evening to get a couple more things lol. Came home, did the bills and was ready for bed by 10:00 or so. Got to stay in bed this morning even though the internal clock went off by 6:00 this morning. Was so nice to just lay there.....
Hubby has been working on his vehicle now. Put in a new radiator today. When it rains it pours with vehicles. He's talking about putting in an engine in mine during Christmas break. Not the way I want him to spend his time, that's for sure.
Pretty much am doing nothing today, feels good~. Not much to write about. George and I are going to go to a store shortly and look around. It's a Staple's warehouse. Didn't even know it exhisted until yesterday. Did hear that they will be closing it at the end of this year, so we are hoping to pick up a few deals if we see anything that we "have" to have.
Thought maybe I'd pick up a hook or needle today, but the day isn't over yet. There's always hope! Wishing everyone a peaceful day.......

Kathy, I live 9/10ths of a mile from the busiest street in town. There was no way I was going out on Black Friday! This year, if I can't buy it on line, I'll probably send hubby out to do the shopping. I just don't have the stamina any longer and the pain gets too bad to "do the mall."
I see where you're having problems with cars? We got up to a cold house this morning. A capacitor went out on our furnace and a service call and $190 later, we're finally warm again! As I gripe and grumble, though, I realize that we're lucky! If it had to break down, at least the furnace went out when it's 40 degrees outside and not -20 with a stiff north wind!!
