After Thanksgiving


We had a wonderful meal with Paul, Lesie and family. There were twelve of us altogether. Pete, Anne and Genevieve were there too. We were very thankful for family, friends and health to name a few of our blessings.
Today, the traditional SHOPPING day, was a new experience. Leslie and her mom decided to go shopping at midnight instead of getting up early. Marlys had planned to get up early, but the stores changed their opening times from 6 AM to 5 AM! That was just too early for her, so she was going to meet Anna about 7:30. However, Anna decided to stay home, so Larry got up and they went into Buffalo to shop and bond. We didn't shop long but did go out for breakfast.
After dropping Larry off at home, Marlys continued by herself to St. Cloud and did manage to spend money and even got in on some of the specials. The important part is sending in the rebate info so that they are really bargains. Marlys stopped to visit with Pat and family on the way home.
The weather really cooperated. It was in the 50's today! Normally it is much colder. The sun made it a really enjoyable day.
May you be thankful in your circumstances too.
Marlys
