We had a wonderful day yesterday as well...went to friends so hardly any cooking...now my DH is in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for a small turkey...it is smelling heavenly upstairs here...I'm working on Christmas gifts today and later making gingerbread to make gingerbread houses tomorrow with DH. He's choosing to do a cabin style with pretzels and I'm doing the traditional one...if they turn out well, we'll gift them, if not, they're part of our decorating...we used to make them every year with the kids...what a messy, crazy, fun and fabulous activity THAT was!!! Happy "blessed" Friday to one and all!

I had a nice Thanksgiving cooking with my son and enjoying the meal with my granddaughter. After dinner we went to my brother & sister-in-law's for desert and to celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary. I made a pumpkin cheesecake which was a big hit with everyone. I miss being close to family. One day I will be able to move from Florida to be closer. I'm hoping it will be sooner rather than later. I've updated my avatar to reflect the beautiful gazebo here in Medina Ohio.

Today has been a quiet one, cleaned up this morning and got the house back into shape. This afternoon we went to two stores to see if they still had a couple of items in the ads, in an out of the stores less than 15 minutes and picked up only what was wanted. Best way to save money!

DH and I enjoyed our quiet but plenty of food Thanksgiving. We ate about 5 and then enjoyed movies like Despicable Me, Ratatoille, etc. We do enjoyed our years with the kids and now we enjoy each other's company very much.

Quilting friends~ You will not believe this story but I had to share. I hate Black Friday Shopping but sometimes the deals are just to hard to resist. My hubby and I went out to Sears for a 230 piece tool set and so he could replace to worn out ratchets (for free with lifetime warranty on Craftsman tools) and we went to the base exchange. We have base privileges since we are both veterans (my DH did the full twenty). Well, fifteen years ago he got a coupon for the base exchange that was good for 20% off on any item up to $100. Yesterday, we cashed it in and finally bought him the 55" TV of his dreams for only $399!! Can anyone top that much patience???? lol Imagine keeping track of a single piece of paper for 15 years! He retired from the Air Force back in 2004.

Good morning ladies! How is everyone doing this grand morning? I see lots of people are making gingerbread houses, shopping and getting decorating done. Let the season begin!
I have three people's packages that are unaccounted for. I am hoping that this week will bring the packages to their homes so everyone has their ornaments to open on the 6th with us. They all have customs numbers, and I can't check on them. (That I know of anyway)
One is due to arrive on the thirtieth besides those. I don't understand why UPS takes ten days to deliver a small package coast to coast?
