12/01/2013: "Thanksgiving / Black Friday - Gone!"

Thanksgiving was nice. My usual Ham dinner which... I didn't make enough ham to last the whole weekend and to do my egg ham cheese rice dish with. Oh well. It's been de-lish regardless. I'm happy about it. The boys enjoyed it and that's all that matters to me.

Black Friday - well I didn't go out in that mob shopping frantic. I did however go to the bank and made a stop at one of the little stores around the corner just to see if they had a pair of shoes I wanted. No shoes, but I came out with a gift for one of those I do buy for. It was a nice surprise as I was stumped on what to get and it jumped out at me saying ME ME ME! And I thought... oh yeah! That's it! Home again and then went out with Dot in the evening to a neighbor's house to see Linnea Star It was a fascinating event. I had seen her twice before and perhaps not all things came to be, but the fact is, it could still be coming. I know for fact a couple of things she spoke of have come to be and are things no one would have known. Like Dad's blue sweater; Granite St; Tinkerbell just to name a few. Most of you have no clue what those three things are that stand out in my mind, but those that went with me, do know. Mind you, those were three things for three different people and only one of which was mine. It's not what you think. I didn't have the blue sweater. Mine had to do with Granite St. That's all I'm saying. Ha!

All in all it was wonderful to 'witness' in meaning more than to see, how others were with their readings and what things were said. It's amazing to me to watch and be part of.

And yesterday was an on and off sleep day of which I did manage to find ONE last elusive gift idea. Now my Christmas shopping is done. HA! No rushing out to shop and be involved with all that mania. I do miss it from when Dot and I use to do midnight runs, but now, I just couldn't handle it. Besides, I've no little ones that I need to buy for. Much as it's tough to buy for my boys due to their ages, I like to buy a fun gift and then give them money. That way I know they have something even if I couldn't figure out what they need or want within my price range. To me, it's another big dinner day anyway. It's not bad - don't think I am a humbug - well okay, a little bit - but I do love Christmas and all the lights and feelings, but it can be a bit emotional as well for me. Difficult in some ways, but gentle in other ways.

I have a lot to be thankful for and Thanksgiving was a day to remember such. I did so quietly in my own mind and enjoyed the day with my sons.

I'm ready for the next holiday (although now I have to remember to WRAP things before then....)


Good Day and Good Blessings.
