Wednesday....November 30, 2011
Last day of November and I am about finished with my Christmas shopping and wrapping. I wrapped last night until the tape ran out! Not, but it sounded like a good reason to stop. Then I finished a row of a quilt I'm working on--ribbon weaving. I only have one block that doesn't have the ribbon weaving the right way, but I'm not going to point it out to anyone.
Today I'm going to open the rest of a BIG box that came in the mail of Christmas items I ordered for our house. It is like getting Christmas presents early. Most of them are creches and I just wanted to have them...so I guess I am a little spoiled girl who went through the catalog and ordered what I wanted.
We are waiting for the warm before the storm today and just enjoying a lazy day.

Black Friday, November 25, 2011
The day after Thanksgiving and the day the stores are trying to get into the black and out of the red. We even braved going to JoAnns. Oh Wow! The store was open at 6:00 AM, but we didn't even attempt that hour and we showed up at 9:00 AM and that was enough of a crowd for us. It took and hour as it was for two pieces of material and 4 fat quarters and 4 spools of thread. Everything was on sale, or else 1/2 off with the coupons we had and then when we checked out, another coupon for 25% off EVERYTHING we had in our cart! Well we didn't have a cart, so we slid the little basket with our foot as we waited in line. We met many nice ladies who were tired and had been out since 3:00 AM and glad that we only had that much to cut. There were MANY who had 24 to 30 pieces of material have cut because material was really cut back in price. So the sale was genuine.
Glad to only do that sort of a sale ONCE.

The day before Thanksgiving and I am blogging. Wow who would have thought that I would have been doing this when I was just born. There have been so many changes in the world and now there is even an I pod that lets people communicate who have not spoken. The Lord has so many surprises when people take the time to learn the skills.
Tomorrow for the first time since Darin has been married ( 9 years) they are coming here on Thanksgiving. They are coming for breakfast. That has been a tradition at her mother and dad's. So I am just grateful for all small blessings. Brian and his family are also coming. Then we are going to Stacy's for dinner. I don't know if Darin's family is going or not, but the rest of us are. This is the closest we have been in years as looking like a normal family and I will take it.
Went to Time Out for Women and the theme was Be All You Can Become and now I'm thinking of the challenge and so I''m trying to give up the negative in my vocabulary and concentrating on the positive. I know I can do it. I know Heavenly Father will help.

Wonderful week,,went to Kansas and was able to see Grandchildren and Trent...been two years since Ella passed away and we were finally permitted to put flowers on her grave. Went to Branson and then we came home. Fast trip, but worth the effort to clear the air somewhat.
Time out For Women this weekend. Dan and Jede went with Lyn and I and it was wonderful. They taught us to make a commitment to make ourselves better and be more what Heavenly Father wants us to be. It was great. So, now to decide where I want to grow.

Went to have my hair done on a different day, because we are flying to Kansas tomorrow. This will be the first time in several years. It will be a hard one since there has been so much bad email but maybe it will be a good visit if I can just say thank you and yes and glad to have you tell me that and nice to see you. We are going to put flowers on Ella's grave. It has been two years since she passed away. Doesn't seem possible, but time does go on.
I hope the weather is nice there and it is nice here today so that makes it a good day. I am going to try to think only pleasant thoughts while we are there. We are only going to be with them for two days, and so I can think pleasant thoughts for two days.
I will take my Sunday School lesson with me to think on when I am in church and that will give me something else to concentrate on instead of thinking of past things that I should forget anyway.
