Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. Eskimo proverb

BlaCk FriDay and DoctorS...

Well Thanksgiving was a total success at the Cooper home..I did all the baking, cooking etc..and it was kind of relaxing...The turkey was brined and delicious..I used Alton Browns recipe..and it was tasty..made the stuffing..that is a favorite that I have made for 3 years now...made mashed taters from Ina Garton...and I made turkey gravy for the first time with the drippings..OMG! that was probably the best thing ever...oh it was so good...and I made brussels with onions...This is the aftermath of dinner...

we had our good friend Betty Fagan over for supper and she is a hoot..she is from jolly old england and told us storys of world war 2 when the buzz bombs were going off etc...she is a lady that never stays put..she is always on the go and boy can she go...she just taught me how to knit.I am totally hooked..although all I can make right now is scarves..she is going to teach me how to make hats...can't wait..

Well after my doctors appt today I decided to go out and try my hand at black friday..never done it before...so I headed to Joanns..where else...I love that store..but not today...the line for fabric was over 2 hours..but my friend was there (since 7:30am) and she let me butt in line..so I did..so we only waited about 30 minutes..well I did anyway..got 20 yards of the expensive muslin but had a 50% off coupon...yippee..had 2 actually..so I got yarn needles, tissue paper, pom-pom maker, 2 wooden sleds for santas that I plan on making..they were so cheap...couldn't resist..cookie tins...spray starch for lace ormanents I am going to machine embroider..got an Ott light so I can drag it around with me...got pretzel rods so I can dip them in chocolate to give away as my gifts for the neighbors, garbage guy, my newspaper guy that makes sure I have enough joanns ads...gotta love that man...lol...



Then I headed to the mall cause I wanted to get some Mary Jane shoes..went to penneys and found some...on sale..got 3 bras..buy 2 get one free..need them desperately..not that I enjoy wearing them..but need to round up these gals at some point when I go shopping...:)and got 2 pairs of pajamas for the price of one and got a $15 dollar off of all of that..that was a total surprise...gotta love saving money...so now gotta go and warm up the leftovers for dinner and settle in for the night..going to be decorating for christmas this weekend...hubby won't know what hit em...and got some crafting in my future..now I just want to craft...hope your day after was a good one...although I am just amazed at the poor man that was trampled to death at the walmart in New York..Ridiculous really..is it really that worth it...people slow down, take a deep breath....this poor man had family I am sure and now their holiday is ruined because of some greedy folks out there that didn't practice their patience...what a sad sad world we live in...sorry to bring you all down...but this is just stupid...period...hope they all got what they wanted...
any way have a great weekend...
Toodles....:>)
