There are two Fridays this
week…today and two days from now. Today
is a book day, and the actual Friday is a sale day…”Gobble Up The Savings.” 25% off everything. I will save money by working in the
back. Probably lots of work,
actually. When folks come to our sales,
they usually bring bags of donations with them.
“Oh, it’s been in the back
of my car just waiting until I could get in,” one lady always says. Our dear customers clean out their garage,
their closets, their Holiday stuff, and happily leave it at the donation door
before they shop. That really will keep
me busy and out of trouble.
Tomorrow we eat out. The decision has been made.
Then sometime this coming
weekend, all our holiday décor comes downstairs and gets sorted. We don’t have tons of the cute stuff (like
the stuff all over the shop), but we do have a massive number of ornament boxes.
Big ones boxes, filled with red and blue mostly. Far more of these than we can put on our
little tree. I, who can’t remember friend’s
names, can remember each ornament every year.
I pared the collection a
few years ago, and it’s time to do it again.
happy thanksgiving! Yep, we trim the tree and house Sat-Sun. Not sure how many more years I want to do a full 7.5 ft. tall tree, but it does look spectacular when done. :)
ReplyDeleteWe now have a small 4 foot tree....much more manageable.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving Mage. Hope your worries are resolved.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the family issues. I had a rough time a while back, but it was too painful to post, so I did not. I just share my rosy side mostly. That food looks like it has enough calories to last all day!
ReplyDeleteI knew you did, I cared, but I didn't know what to say. My eldest just isn't keeping her promises.
DeleteMage-- Very happy thanksgiving to you and all yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Mage. I'm just loving your profile photo. It makes me smile to look at it.
ReplyDeleteOur Christmas decs are up because we celebrate TG at a sane time of year here in the Great White North. And it is white right now. And cold. Have a good American-style holiday though.
