Thanksgiving

Wow, did I have a ton to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving! My beautiful sister drove up from Texas with her two boys and one rascal dog named Sydney. The cousins had a great time. We celebrated Suzanne's birthday the first night. the funniest gift we got her were "lake shoes." They are fake crocs that are lined in fleece. We use them at the lake to walk around the woods, walk the dogs, and tramp through mud. Who cares if you ruin $8 shoes?
Our Thanksgiving day was so fun. We had friends over, drank wine, ate like pigs and spent lots of time outside at the firepit. We were exhausted by the end of the day but were ready at 4 am to go to Walmart. One of Sue's friends did something cute. Sue had to buy an item to prove she had been to Black Friday. It was a fishing lure. We loved the thought that we are planning for next year's item to have the badge of honor for going to the store and not hurting anyone but getting what you wanted.
Sue and I did so good that we had everything on our list at 5:12. Truth is, it was just luck that we started down the right aisle.

It was a fabulous week at the lake for us. I hope it becomes a tradition even though it wasn't very traditional.
