the day after Thanksgiving.....

It's been a busy morning thus far. I got up early and once hubby left for his Bible study at Fast Eddies, and after my quiet time, I got up and got busy. I cleaned out one of the closets in our bedroom. It's full of quilts, and everything else that has gotten thrown in there. I've bagged up some things and am sending them to Savers. I had hoped that hubby would take this afternoon, but looks more like I will be taking when I go out tomorrow. I was going out this afternoon, but time schedules got messed up so need to work on some thing here anyway.

Yep, I don't do that "black Friday" thing. I am not comfortable around crowds of people and am quite content with being nearly alone in the store. I found last year that if I go late in the afternoon, most people have gotten their sales completed and have spent all their money.

I've done most of my shopping already online. Of course even with writing things down, I am afraid that I have ordered too much and not enough. Figure that one out. I don't know if any packages will arrive today, but starting tomorrow, I will have a bunch of boxes arriving here. Then I start going through the "will anyone like what we get them" and "what if someone is disappointed". Oh well. I've definitely got to start cutting back. I know, I say it every year.

The tough part is most don't need anything. Just like us. But I always look for that one thing that is unique so that they will at least find enjoyment with it. I can go on smile.amazon.com but I don't even know where to start looking. So, with that being said, some will be happy, and some will unfortunately be disappointed.

Thanksgiving was nice yesterday. We went to the youngest son's house and had a nice lunch with everyone. Lots of food. I took the turkey, dressing, and giblet gravy - can't believe I brought nearly all the turkey back home with me. The only thing that had a minute amount was the dressing. 3 Pieces were left so I left them. Had about 2 cups of giblet gravy left. Brought it home cause we can put it on mashed potatoes. :) My son cooked two hams and we got to bring some home with us. Had some for lunch today and it was still good. Yum.

Well, I reckon I need to get busy on my message - I speak at an RV park in another week and I need to have it completed soon so that I can practice with it. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Blessings!
