I hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you all have lots of leftovers to enjoy for the nest few days, maybe a week? Especially the pies! They are always so good. Pumpkin, Apple, Mincemeat, Pumpkin Roll, Spice Cake, Pineapple upside down cake, What did I forget. Yummy! The turkey sandwiches are also a show stopper.

Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. To most of the United States, it is BLACK FRIDAY! That is the day the stores go Green and the shoppers go Red. At any rate, that is the wish of the stores, the green part. Green and Red make Black, I think.

The malls in Knoxville were pack by 6:00 a.m. Tina said that the stores here were very busy as she drove by on her way to work. The news said that people started lining up for shops in the mall at 3:30 A.M. I thought that with all the Black Friday sales going on all month long that it wouldn’t be a big deal this year. I was wrong, I guess. I am thankful that I wasn’t one of the crowd. The cats and I were busy here at home.

Today I got things rearranged and ready for tomorrow’s Christmas decorating. The tree goes up, the umpteen boxes, plastic bins, etc. of decorations come in. The fall stuff gets put away until next year. I am looking forward to seeing what all we have and how are we going to arrange it. Things change from year to year. A great way to spend the weekend.

Quote of the day: “Growing old is only a state of mind….brought on by gray hairs, false teeth, wrinkles, a big belly, shortness of breath, and being constantly and totally pooped.” My Calendar.

Sure glad that isn’t me! ):

Have a great rest of you Friday and a wonderful, safe, cheerful, thrifty, and fun weekend.

Blessings
