Black Friday Shopping

Today we went shopping. We got up just after 5am, showered and headed off to join others in the jungle.

Great News:
Jo-Ann's had only 3 people in line at 6:00am. So unlike the zoo last year this year was just calm, easy shopping. The other two were in line to get a cricut so we did not have to share the flannel or anything else.

Now relaxing watching "Horton hears a Who" with La Terrell.

have everything you desire. If you
did, what would there be to look
forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know
something, for it gives you the
opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities
for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your
strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They
will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and
weary, because it means you’ve
made a difference.
It’s easy to be thankful for the good
things. A life of rich fulfillment
comes to those who are also thankful
for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into
a positive. Find a way to be thankful
for your troubles and they can
become your blessings.

Thanksgiving Poem

May your stuffing be tasty,

May your turkey be plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

May your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!
