Good morning!
I slept in 1 1/2 hours longer than a weekday. Feels good. Gonna do a few things in the camper and run some errands. Grocery shopping, a haircut, an errand or two and then a trip into Georgia to line dance with old friends.

Looking good for Thanksgiving with my folks. We will order out from Crackerbarrel with my mom making maybe one or two family favorite casseroles. My brother knows the manager so we will get a 35 percent discount on the order.
Won't feel 'obligated' to eat because it is my mom's cooking.

The field trip yesterday was ok. The behavior over all of the two second grade classes was not as good as recent years. We had two kids that did not listen to directions. Of course that meant that we held their little hands which they did NOT like.

See yo later,
Tinka

Mornin'!
Tinka, your Thanksgiving sounds fun! We'll have a double Thanksgiving this year, just as last year. Chris likes to go to the church Thanksgiving pot luck. (I don't......I dislike being in a crowd, having to make meaningless social chat, etc.) He loves the huge variety of food. I like a quiet home Thanksgiving with traditional foods. So.....on Thursday we'll go to the church Thanksgiving, and Friday I'll prepare our traditional Thanksgiving.
Last night we went out for Chinese buffet (we go out to eat twice a month.....his choice one time, mine the next.....Chinese buffet was his choice--anybody see a pattern there? That slender man loves food in quantity. ARRRGH!) I did well, tho.....kept my selections to grilled chicken, steamed crab, and vegetables. But I ate the flipping fortune cookie.
Not much on today's schedule.....light housecleaning, an afternoon meeting at a local coffeehouse (we're planning the church's Christmas display at the museum).
Be well, all....and be kind to yourselves.

Good Morning

I got up late. The sun is shining - yea.

The neighbour is out. Maybe he will rake up his leaves!

Yesterday, I went to Food Basics for a few things. Then, home and to the library. Then, I decided I could not stand my runners any longer. My feet feel like they are walking on bare sidewalk as these shoes are so worn out. So I went to Beckers and had to wait forever for someone to wait on me - 3 clerks and all busy. Finally, I got waited on. Got the same runners as last time only the "upgraded" ones, which probably just means they can charge more . They had sales on, but no runners in my size unless I wanted ones trimmed with red - I DO NOT. I should have gone earlier and probably would have got them on sale, but oh well...

The neighbour is still feeling ill. She has a sore throat now. I was over talking to her and she was over here, but I kept my distance, I hope - lol. She has part of her back porch knocked down and the sliding doors moved in farther. Then, in spring she is going to knock down the sides and have an open back porch.

I decided I would buy the Oprah pick, but can't find it, except at the book store at the Mall and it's full price there. I might check at Walmart today. Shoppers Drug Mart had a bunch of them and they are all gone.

I want to get my winter clothes organized sometime soon too.

Well, must go so everyone have a great day.

Hi again,
Drinking my afternoon coffee. I have a container where I put the last little bits of ground coffee, any brand and any flavor. I just made a pot from that mixture and it tastes pretty good.

Gonna go dancing in GA with the friends we used to perform with. Always fun, but a very late night.

Tomorrow we have to 'collapse' the camper as rain is coming. Looking for a few more things to put in there before we do.

I like my hair cut. I confessed that I had cut my own 'bangs' and she said they were a little uneven.

See you in the morning.

Ps. Just got a call that two of my children, the oldest and the youngest will fly down in Feb on a really cheap flight. Just for a weekend. Can't wait!
